The cuisine of Cartadania reflects a history of culinary traditions shaped by diverse influences, including Levantine, Cronan, Audonian, and Alshari elements. It exhibits notable regional variations, influenced by the country's geographical and cultural diversity. The Cartadanian culinary landscape benefits from an abundance of ingredients, owing to the nation's remarkable biodiversity. Traditional spices from Cartadania and Caphiria's historic spice trade are prevalent, contributing to the distinct flavor profiles.

In various regions, seafood, such as shrimp, fish, and oysters, occupies a prominent place. Moqueca, a popular seafood stew, finds variations across the country, featuring ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, and lime. Meat-based dishes are equally significant, with beef, lamb, and pork utilized creatively. | |||
Influences from neighboring countries, like Caphiria, especially Turiana, and Pelaxia, have contributed to Cartadanian culinary diversity. Caphirian-style dishes and cheeses have gained popularity, while Pelaxian and Turian influences add depth to the repertoire. Cartadanians also cherish their native beverages. Cachaça, distilled from sugarcane, forms the basis of the Caipirinha cocktail. Mate tea, coffee, fruit juices, and beer are commonly enjoyed, reflecting the nation's vibrant beverage culture. | |||
Desserts come in wide variety and flavors. Bolo de rolo showcases thin layers of cake enveloped by guava paste, while brigadeiro and beijinho feature condensed milk-based treats, adorned with chocolate or coconut, respectively. Açaí na tigela, made from açaí palm fruit, with its granular texture and tart notes, is quite popular across the country as well.
