Fodor's Review:
The city's first grocery market, this huge, 1928 neobaroque-style building got a major renovation in 2004, and is now the quintessential hot spot for gourmets and food lovers. The building, nicknamed Mercadão (Big Market) by locals, houses 318 stands that sell just about everything edible, including meat, vegetables, cheese, spices, and fish from all over Brazil. It also has restaurants and traditional snack places -- don't miss the salt cod pastel at Hocca Bar.
