Buriti feels like stepping into Salvador transplanted to Sant Antoni: tropical hues, orixá illustrations, and shelves stacked with decolonial cookbooks. Chef Sara Lemos cooks with care and swagger, turning Bahian classics into straight-up comfort. The crowd is a lively blend of locals and the Brazilian community, artists, and chefs trading notes over caipirinhas. Grab a spot outside and you might catch a whisper of samba or bossa—instant mini-vacation.
“Buriti” is the name of a Brazilian palm whose fruit and oil are beloved across the Amazon and Cerrado—an ode to roots and resilience.

Insider tip
Book ahead for dinner, snag a sidewalk table, and pair the acarajé with a passion fruit caipirinha—ask for extra house hot sauce if you like heat.
