Brazil is attractive to travelers for many reasons. From its world-famous beaches to the world wonder of Christ the Redeemer to the Amazon Rainforest to the stunning Iguazu Falls. Many travelers might not realize that Brazil is a great culinary destination with many dishes unique to South America's largest country. Here are 10 dishes to eat when visiting Brazil.

10 Feijoda

If there's one dish travelers should eat again and again in Brazil, it's feijoda. Feijoda is a popular Brazilian stew consisting of black beans with a variety of salted and smoked pork and beef products. The more traditional versions include cuts of meat such as beef tongue, pig ears, pig feet, and even pigtails. It's a salty, smokey, hearty dish that comes at an affordable price based on humble ingredients.

9 Farofa

Farofa is a traditional Brazilian side dish made with toasted yuca or cassava flour. It is comparable to couscous, but its flavor profiles are quite different. It tastes salty and a bit nutty from the toasted flour. Farofa sometimes includes vegetables, spices, and even eggs. It is commonly served alongside feijoda.

8 Açai Bowls

Açai bowls might be the new hype in health-conscious cities such as Los Angeles, Tulum, Portland, and more, but they originated in Brazil. Eating an açai bowl in Brazil will make it difficult to ever consume one elsewhere. Açai bowls are sold all over Brazil, and in the north, it's even an ingredient in many savory dishes.

7 Fresh Fruit

Similarly to açai bowls, fresh fruit eaten in Brazil makes it difficult for travelers to consume fruit elsewhere. The bananas are particularly tart. Guava, mango, passion fruit, and even cacao fruit are all popularly found throughout Brazil. Fresh Brazilian fruit makes for a great breakfast alongside some strong Brazilian coffee.

6 Caipirinhas

For those looking to imbibe in some boozy concoctions, there's no better option than the Brazilian drink caipirinha. Caipirinhas are made from cachaça, which is a distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice. It is then mixed with sugar and lime. Caipirinhas are sold all over Brazil and typically have an additional fruit in there (go for mango or passion fruit for a delicious option). A great way to enjoy a caipirinha is on Copacabana Beach from one of the many vendors.

5 Vatapa

One of the tastiest Brazilian dishes is called vatapa. It is a shrimp stew simmered in coconut milk and palm oil, typically served alongside tapioca crackers; for one of the best places to try it, head to gastropub Terras Brasilis in Rio de Janeiro, where diners can enjoy their meal while looking at Sugarloaf Mountain.

Churrasco is commonly found throughout Brazil. It is grilled skirt steak that's been marinated in citrus-garlic mojo marinade and is served at almost all Brazilian restaurants.

3 Pão De Queijo

Also known as Brazilian cheese bread, pâo de queijo is a small, baked cheese roll commonly found at cafés throughout the country. It is most commonly eaten for breakfast and has a punchy cheesy taste with the texture of a soft fluffy bun. They're delicious and make for a great snack on the go.

2 Moqueca

Moqueca is a Brazilian seafood stew consisting of shrimp and/or fish stewed with tomatoes, garlic, lime, cilantro, onions, and more. Moqueca also commonly has coconut milk in it. The dish originates in the northern state of Bahia, and it is best enjoyed there.

1 Bolinho De Bacalhau

Who doesn't love a crunchy, crispy mini ball filled with delicious goodness? Italy has the arancini, Japan has takayoki, China has the dumpling, and Brazil has bolinho de bacalhau, otherwise known as fried cod croquettes. Boneless cod is mixed with potatoes and bread crumbs, rolled into tiny balls, and fried to crispy, golden perfection. These make for a great snack alongside some caipirinhas.
