Bobó de Camarão

What is it?

Bóbó de Camarão is a Cassava stew with shrimp, made with coconut milk, palm oil and full of herbs and spices. You can choose the side dishes, but I strongly recommend to order the Coconut rice and the Farofa Simples. It is Delicious! One of the most distinctive dishes around, more commonly found on the menus of Northeastern or African restaurants.

Where to have the best version of Bóbó de Camarão?

Well, you will find the best Bóbó de Camarão at Yayá Comidaria Pop Brasileira, a restaurant focused on African food and with a great ambience. Located in Leme, you can enjoy a walk on Copacabana Beach, go up the Leme Forte with an incredible view of the Beach and go lunch at Yayá. They also have a great drink called Jorge Amado, be sure to try.
