    Go beyond the labels with Free Walker. Discover authentic Little Africa, where culture, history, and cuisine come together beyond the typical tourist spots.

    The experience takes you to Pedra do Sal, the birthplace of samba, where music fills the streets and the flavours of Rio come alive.

    Our goal is to introduce you to flavours from different regions of Brazil while sharing the stories and cultural influences behind each bite.

    DETAILS OF THE DISHES:

    1. In Angu do Gomes:
      The famous “bolinho de feijoada”: a traditional Brazilian dish made with mashed beans mixed with cassava flour, seasoned with garlic, onion, and sometimes pork. It has a creamy texture and a rich flavour.

    Angu is a dish made with angu (a cornmeal cream similar to polenta) topped with well-seasoned ground beef sauce, usually served with sausage and egg. It is a dish of resistance from enslaved people.

    1. 2 de Fevereiro:
      Moqueca , itś pieces of fish or shrimp cooked in a richly seasoned sauce, usually with coconut milk and palm oil, creating a very aromatic and creamy dish.

    Cassava with Banana plantain.

    1. Casa Porto:
      Portion of pork hock croquettes accompanied by Mamata batida (Brazilian passion fruit cocktail)

    2. Bafo da Prainha
      Dessert: Delicious queijo coalho with guava paste and pork rinds on top—an incredible flavour and a truly authentic speciality of the bar.
