Salvador, Brazil

Capital of the state of Bahia and the center of Afro-Brazilian culture, Salvador's cuisine is defined by African techniques and ingredients like azeite-de-dendê, the oil extracted from the native dendê palm. Opt for spicy seafood stews such as moqueca de camarão or the eponymous acaraje, or deep-fried mashed bean fritters, sold everywhere.
