Angra dos Reis, with its stunning coastline and rich fishing heritage, offers a delicious blend of fresh seafood, Brazilian classics, and tropical flavors. Whether dining at a beachside kiosk or a luxury resort, visitors can enjoy a variety of dishes that showcase the region’s natural abundance.

One of the must-try dishes is Moqueca, a flavorful seafood stew made with fish or shrimp, coconut milk, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, slow-cooked in a clay pot and served with rice and farofa (toasted cassava flour). Another favorite is Peixe na Brasa, fresh grilled fish seasoned with local herbs and served with lime—perfect for enjoying by the beach.

For a hearty meal, try Bobó de Camarão, a creamy shrimp dish cooked with cassava, coconut milk, and dendê oil, or Arroz de Marisco, a seafood rice dish similar to paella, filled with shrimp, mussels, and squid.

Angra dos Reis also offers delicious snacks like pastéis (crispy, deep-fried pastries filled with shrimp or cheese) and bolinhos de bacalhau (salted cod fritters), great for pairing with a cold beer or a refreshing caipirinha, Brazil’s famous cocktail made with cachaça, lime, sugar, and ice.

To satisfy your sweet tooth, try Quindim, a coconut and egg yolk dessert with a glossy, golden top, or tropical fruits like açaí, mango, and papaya, often blended into smoothies or served with granola.

From simple seafood grills to rich Brazilian stews, the cuisine of Angra dos Reis is a delicious reflection of its coastal beauty and vibrant culinary traditions.
