How to Order Food in Equatorial Guinea Like a Pro

Equatoguinean cuisine blends African, Spanish, and Portuguese influences. Begin with “Me gustaría probar…” (I’d like to try…). Must-try dishes include pepesup (spicy fish soup) and succotash (corn and lima bean stew). For plantains, specify “Maduro” (sweet) or “Verde” (savory). Try malamba, a sugar cane alcohol. “Picante” means spicy, “Suave” means mild. Tipping isn’t customary but is appreciated in tourist areas. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Be open to trying bushmeat dishes, a local delicacy!
