Baiana Food - Attractions in Salvador

Highly influenced by African food, it’s the most typical on Brazil. Moquecas (stewed fish, shrimps and other sea foods very spicy), bobó de camarão (stewed shrimps with manioc sauce), sarapatel (made with little pieces of pork) and vatapá (made with peanut cream) are some of the most famous dishes served in specialized restaurants.
You cannot miss the chance of eating a delicious acarajé, typical delicacy from Salvador. With their cooky sheets placed in the sidewalks, baianas prepare this little cake with beans paste, vatapá, shrimp and hot pepper.
