Bahia Bites Salvador Food Tour with 12+ Tastings

The Salvador food tour offers guests a culinary experience carefully curated food adventure, led by the team of Salvador tastemakers. Before we get started, the 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 vegan, halal diets, lactose intolerance and severe allergies as the number of tastings would be very limited. No pork diets, pescatarian, vegetarian, 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.

Explore Salvador’s food scene on a 4-hour food tour through Mercado Modelo, Pelourinho, and Santo Antônio, with 12 plus tastings along the way. Begin at the market before riding the iconic Elevador Lacerda into the historic centre, where street vendors and local kitchens shape the city’s evening food culture. You’ll start with sweet and comforting bites like Bahian cassava doughnuts and coconut candy, before moving into savoury favourites such as tapioca flatbreads, acarajé filled with vatapá, grilled queijo coalho, cod fritters, and coxinha. Along the way, enjoy fresh coconut and lime juice, sugarcane juice, and a small glass of cravinho. The experience finishes with a Bahian spread of ximxim de galinha, caruru, and fried plantain. This isn’t about fine dining, it’s an authentic taste of the real Bahia curated and led by local tastemaker guides.
