Mercadão: A Lunch Experience Sure to Satisfy All of Your Senses

Formally named Mercado Municipal São Paulo, this architectural delight spans over 135,000 square feet and houses row after row of retailers boasting everything from fresh produce to cured meats to handmade Brazilian jewelry. Wandering through the aisles of boldly-colored foods, the building is abuzz with chatter, laughter, and bartering. Locals will greet you with a smile as they proudly show off their wares. After sampling exotic fruits and fresh cheeses, make your way up to the second-floor mezzanine where the real, can’t miss gem awaits.
