Salvador’s food is one of the most distinctive in Brazil, shaped by deep Afro-Brazilian roots and centuries of trade. This tour is built to show you this food history though the streets, markets, and small neighbourhood kitchens of Pelourinho and Comércio.
With 12 plus tastings across multiple stops, the experience moves between street stalls, market vendors, and long-standing eateries, giving you a broad view of Bahian cooking from iconic dishes like acarajé to slower, richer plates like moqueca.
The setting is just as important as the food. Walking through Salvador’s historic centre and down into its old port district, you’ll see how the city’s past continues to shape its cuisine today.
Led by a knowledgeable local tastemaker guide, and combining walking with short rides between neighbourhoods, this is Salvador's most generous food tour.

1Salvador
Our Salvador food tour offers guests a culinary experience carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Salvador tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan, halal diets, and severe allergies as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ No pork diets, pescatarian, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, mild tree nut / peanut allergies and no seafood diets are possible though some tastings do not have alternatives available and the menu would be more limited.
