Bistrô Luz de Minas
Santo André Village | Santa Cruz Cabrália, Bahia, Brazil
Opened on 17 March 2018, Bistrô Luz de Minas was born from the traditions of the countryside of Minas Gerais and found its home on the beautiful banks of the João de Tiba River, in the charming village of Santo André, Santa Cruz Cabrália, Bahia.
Charming in every detail, the bistrô captivates visitors with its privileged location, welcoming atmosphere and distinctive concept, celebrating Brazilian culture and hospitality through its cuisine, setting and attentive service.
Lovingly run by its owners, Said and Renata Dias, the bistrô brings together tradition, creativity and innovation. Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of Minas Gerais, its menu celebrates authentic flavours and carefully selected ingredients, while embracing the diversity of Brazilian cuisine. Fresh seafood, salads, grilled dishes and other specialities complement the experience, creating a delightful blend of Minas Gerais traditions and Brazil’s rich gastronomic culture.
With its rustic style and magnificent views of the João de Tiba River, the bistrô offers a peaceful and harmonious setting, where quality music, warm hospitality and the beauty of nature make every visit special.
And, of course, there are the irresistible appetisers and small plates that, according to local gossip, are so delicious they’re practically worth praying over! One word of advice: always save room for dessert.
Bistrô, café, tea house and brigaderia — a place where flavours, hospitality and the traditions of Minas Gerais come together in perfect harmony.
With comfortable seating for up to 50 guests, Bistrô Luz de Minas invites visitors to savour exceptional food, celebrate life and enjoy the unique beauty of Santo André.
A place that also became a TV set
Tempero de Família
In 2021, Luz de Minas was a filming location for the TV show Tempero de Família, hosted by Rodrigo Hilbert — taking the flavours and stories of Santo André all over Brazil.
