Santomean cuisine is very rich!
Don’t miss out on the con-con, an ugly, prehistoric-looking fish grilled and served with baked breadfruit. Traditional stews made with more than 20 different plants can take hours to prepare. Other traditional dishes include fish or meat with beans, rice or plantains, and omelettes cooked with endemic spices, some said to be aphrodisiacs. Palm wine, freshly gathered from the trees, is a local favourite.
Refuse to eat dishes made of sea turtles (meat or egg), or other protected species (shark, earth snails, forest pigeons etc). Eat Calulu, Blabla, Cachupa and Feijoada.
