Fantastic place! Plenty of typical restaurants, spices, exotic fruits and fishes. Don´t leave Sao Paulo without visiting. A must see and try. And the streets which surround the market are really another world. So crowded by pedestrians it seems cars will be there forever. Fruits, toys, plants, chinese jewelry, etc.

I had been to Sao Paulo many times, but never visited Mercado Municipal until this time. It was great, all the fruits and veggies, flavored vinegars, meat, fish etc. We did not eat there because we had just eaten when we went, but it the food is supposed to be great. Definitely worth a visit!

We went on a Saturday afternoon before Easter Sunday and it was packed! Lower level is loaded with a large variety of dried goods, fresh meat and seafood, wine, oil, spices, you name it. Upper level featured a number of restaurants serving local fare, beers, and wines. Great way to spend an afternoon. Closed around 6pm - be sure to... More

This was a definite treat too see so many different fruits that I have never seen before - especially in the middle of winter in Illinois! They said that you could take public transportation there but I went with locals. IF you took a taxi you would need to find where to get one home. The neighborhood is run down... More

Like many of São Paulo´s “tourist” sites, the Mercado Municipal is best visiting with a local person. It is located in a crowded rundown area with broken pavements, litter-strewn streets, crumbling buildings and beggars and hustlers on every corner. Not the kind of place a tourist feels at ease in. The market itself has been tarted up in recent years... More

Here you can find an amazing variety of fruits, cheese, wine and a lot more. There is one of the most famous lanch in São Paulo: lanche de mortadela (lunch of bologna). Avoid go there from 11:00 to 15:30, it might be crowded and you will find a huge line to have a lunch. Never go there by car, specially... More

I went here with the express purpose of eating pasteis at the Hocca Bar, and when I couldn't find it, ended up settling for another stall where I had a less-than-memorable pastel. Of course, I found the Hocca Bar immediately after eating, during a leisurely stroll up and down every single aisle, admiring the meats, fish, and fruit. The fruit... More

Very tradicional city market down town, with anything you can imagine on the planet to eat is there. A heaven of fresh fruits from all over the world, special meats, fishes, cheeses, condimets, etc. Very pleasent spend some time in this diferent place, with some many different perfumes, colors, almost a journey to the Constantinopla period.

We went to Mercado Municipal to eat Brazilians Pasteis as it is my son's favorites. It was a very busy saturday, but we enjoyed our visit. I loved seeing all the different stands with fresh fruits, meats, fish, etc...and the pasteis are awesome...
