Discovering Afro-Brazilian Culinary Wonders Of Salvador

Would you try Brazilian food with an African twist? Eatagram invites you to explore the incomparable cuisine of Salvador.

As you land in Salvador, you’ll feel the incredible vibes of its pristine beaches and cultural authenticity infused with rich influences. Isn’t Salvador a perfect destination for brand new gourmet experiences with a backdrop of the Atlantic beauty?

So, what to try first? look no further Salvador’s iconic moqueca. Be ready for an unexpected flavor twist, as this seafood stew features coconut milk. Looks, tastes, and smells like heaven. Be sure to have it with a side of rice or falofa and hot peppers.

If you can’t resist your affection for street food, be sure to try the Nigerian acarajé. These delicious deep-fried snacks are made of mashed cowpeas and stuffed with shrimp. Or go with the rich and flavorful paste vatapá, a delicate mix of shrimp, bread, peanuts, and coconut milk. Tastes divine, especially when enjoyed with rice. If you prefer casseroles, be sure to luxuriate in caruru, an okra based dish with shrimp and toasted nuts.

Refreshing drinks are an essential part of the diet of Salvador with its subtropical climate. We prefer caipirinha, Brazil's authentic cocktail made with cachaça, lime, and brown sugar. But, if it’s too hot, go with a glass of alcohol free agua de coco.

When it comes to dessert, Salvador offers an incredibly rich menu of sweet delights. We prefer chewy coconut candies called cocadas and quindim, the custard wonder we’ll never forget. It literally melts in your mouth.

We promise, Salvador won’t disappoint you!
