Sao Tome and Principe

Sao Tome and Principe map

Sao Tomean cuisine blends African and Portuguese influences, built around fish, plantain, and tropical fruit. The islands' rich cocoa production also shapes parts of the local food economy.

Calulu, a fish stew cooked with leafy greens and palm oil, is considered a national dish. Fresh tropical fruit and seafood remain central to everyday island cooking.
