Serves meat, vegan options available. Sister restaurant of the Galeria 13 hostel, which is often closed. Many vegan/vegetarian choices - even finding one a rarity in this city, and almost impossible in this historic center. Owned by a guy from Norwich England who understands vegetarians' needs. Just ask the English-speaking staff for any help. Their "amazing-and-crazy-hot" chilli sauce doesn't contain fish, nor does their Thai sauce. Open Mon-Sun 12:00pm-11:00pm.

Big delicious burger - Edit
I was surprised by the size of the veggie burger, and by the fresh bread they used. Very tasty, fresh lettuce on it and a nice hot sauce to add if you enjoy some spice.

A melhor moqueca que eu já comi - Edit
A moqueca vem borbulhando, e é absurdamente saborosa. Pedi para 2, mas 4 pessoas se alimentam tranquilamente. Muito bem servida

Rude owner - Edit
A few veggie/vegan options but it didn’t make up for the obnoxious owner. We had trouble communicating with our server so he got the English owner to help but he did little to help and just ruined our meal and evening. I also had to ask our server three times for my drink so overall the service was pretty terrible.

Life saver on a Sunday night in Pelourinho! - Edit
This places saved us from going hungry on a Sunday night!
Read moreWe were just passing through Salvador and stayed overnight at a hotel in Pelourinho, only to find that the other vegan-friendly places we had looked up are closed for dinner on Sunday.
After Salvador we spent a week on a beach town having vegan moqueca pretty much everyday and looking to see if any of those would top Bar Zulu's — none did! If that's not convincing enough, let me tell you, their portion size was by far the biggest! I uploaded a photo with my head next to it for scale haha. Don't miss out on this feast.

Hambúrguer de lentilha - Edit
Muito saboroso! Vem com 3 molhos que incrementam ainda mais o sabor (só fiquei em dúvida se o pão era realmente vegano)

Good food - huge portions - Edit
Nice little place not far from the Peleronio with clearly labelled veggie food - most of which is vegan. We ordered guacamole to start and two burgers and one portion of fries and left well and truly stuffed - they don’t skimp on the portion sizes so keep this in mind. Super friendly owner and yes, food more geared for tourists but as i read in someone else’s review of this place - sometimes us veggies fancy a change from rice and beans :)

Pretty good - Edit
At a glance pretty much all the vegetarian options seemed to be vegan. I had a veggie burger and fries which was slightly bland but still a relief to find in Salvador!

Veggie options - Edit
It's a nice "international" restaurant where you can find some vegan options for lunch/dinner. I had rice with grilled vegetables (aubergine, courgette and banana) and it was really tasty although way too pricey! As well as the juices! Staff is very friendly and there is wifi available (good for tourists). They also have a nice terrace in the street. Not so many options but we'll, there are a few and, as others have written here, sometimes you get tired of rice with beans!
Read morePros: Tasty food, Terrace, Wifi
Cons: Pricey, Very "international", Not that much options

Good food - Edit
As others have said, it can be hard to find vegan food in the Pelourinho at night during the weekends. I was staying at Hostel Galeria 13, which I recommend, and that gave us discounts on the food. I had the massamam curry. It was good, but far from authentic, so I was a little disappointed.
Read moreOtherwise, it's in a pretty calm street and the staff is friendly.

Great food - Edit
we had the potato/lentil burgers and spanish tortillas and they were awesome! Very refreshing to find Bar Zulu after so many meals consisting of rice and beans! Highly recommend a visit.

Tasty Bahia vegan dishes - Edit
I ended up going here with the previous reviewer, jjo and his family after all of us went looking for Ranga Vegan and found it to be closed for the new year period. I would agree with jjo, these local dishes were really delicious. They are also huge and meant for 2 people so go with a friend (or find some new vegetarian friends like I did). The juices were also very good.
Read morePros: Local dishes made vegan
Cons: Serves two so not ideal if dining alone, Only two veggie dishes on the menu

good, couple of very good vegan dishes - Edit
Menu carries only a couple of labelled vegetarian options: Bobó, and Moqueca - both happen to be vegan (former done with coconut milk), very tasty, as served along with rice and beans.
Read moreModerate price.
Pros: veg-choices are vegan, big portions, friendly staff
Cons: only 2 menu options

Perhaps the only veggie place in the evening - Edit
Nearby Ramma is lunchtimes-only; this was the only place in central Salvador I found that was open in the evening. There are around 8 starters and 4 main dishes that are vegetarian, I absolutely loved the lasagne, and the Moroccan lentils were great too. The homemade hot sauce is unbelievably good. Staff very friendly - it's aimed at Westerners, they all speak English, indeed my Bahian friend said he felt like the gringo there!
Read morePros: open late, central safe location, everyone speaks English
Cons: not cheap
