RIO:
Porcao, and Mariu's, as Vida has mentioned.
I've been eating there off and on since 1970, and both continue to be well managed using only good cuts of top quality meat.
The salad selections at both are excellent for vegans, or those requiring light and a little less than the normal 1 ton of carne per week in Brasil.

However let me make a recommendation for the true Salvador food in the true center of the old town. Caxixi is the place to go. They can do Churrascaria too. Or good old fashioned Salvador gumbo Quiabada. Or Feijoada, Rabada, Cozido, etc.

Yes, but after eating seafood every day you sometimes want to have a steak. And yes Boi Preto is popular. Too popular as there was an hour wait for lunch last Sunday and I could barely get into the parking lot to ask.

Salvador has a couple thousand restaurants., quite a few in that neighborhood. How about Mocambinho? The maxixi embriagado?
Or any of the little places Randy recommends around town to the tourists who read his informational site www.salvadorcentral.com?
How about Boca da Galinha in Plataforma?
Although the African food heritage is the feature of eating in Salvador, Okra (quiabada and similar Brazilian dishes--my preference being the savory dish from Minas, frango com quiabo) is a difficult veg to recommend to most gringos, unless they perhaps come from a southern US cultural background. Artfully cooked in Brazil, it could change your opinion though.
It's ironic that fish/seafood is so costly in the US but is the everyday fare of every common Solteropolitano subsistence fisherman. It takes me awhile to get so tired of it that I am craving steak.

And thanks for the link to Randy's site. I'm glad I read it after my visit. It makes more sense now that it would have before visiting.

And yes, thanks to the organizers and especially the many cheerful volunteers who made this World Cup great.
