The 24 Essential Restaurants in Salvador, Brazil
"Don’t leave Salvador without tasting acarajés, the city’s famous street food. Wads of crushed black-eyed peas are deep-fried in dendê palm oil until golden, then split in half and stuffed with flavorful, spicy pastes of dried shrimp, onions, and cilantro. The acarajés come in a variety of spice levels, but be cautious with your first order. In Bahia, “hot” means really hot." - Rafael Tonon
