I am definitely a fan of this place, because the prices are way cheaper than Carrefour or Zonasul…read more They have a good produce selection, bread, wine, their meat is awesome, tons of toiletries, etc. HOWEVER. You need to bring a book or your headphones to get through the line. Today I waited TWO EFFING HOURS to get my food. It was their aniversario sale, but STILL. I was near tears. I do appreciate the always ready cabs, and there are some stores I always need underneath (kalunga) but I can only muster up the strength to go here every other month. However, I am single, so with a family, the savings are probably worth it.

Best market (with its own eatery on second floor) I stumbled my way in this lovely place. They have…read moregreat selection of everything you can imagine and a great seat down eatery on the second floor. Great customer service with very helpful staff. Get your membership to get the daily specials. Their sushi and beer selection is pretty good. Cheers

Love going here and stocking up on all my goodies that are impossible to find back home. I'm…read moreliterally like a kid in the candy store in this supermarket. I love the pizza, pastries and all the fresh juices. My only issue is that my method of payment never works here...always a issue that's why I give it a 4 star.

Huzzah! I've visited Zona Sul and Hortifruti but I have to say, Pao de Acucar takes the cake when…read moreit comes to grocery stores. Great selection of green veggies/fruit, meats and cheeses, kitchen wares, vodka, sodas, Havaianas...talk about one stop shopping! (Though I have to admit that prices were higher than other stores.) There's also a section near the front with a sushi counter, bakery and a cafe serving sandwiches and pizza along with other ready to eat items. Now can anyone tell me how to cut up a maracuja?

This is the fancy version of this chain store with a huge selection of everything. It starts out…read morewith a variety of flowers (potted and fresh cut) along the left wall as you enter, behind the cash registers and fresh fruit and vegetables to the right. The elevators got the underground parking are also on this side. Then they have a lanchonete, with a selection of meals at the cafe (take-home sushi, sandwiches, tapiocas, etc) and a few bistro tables. They also have a bakery with a lot of beautiful pastries, cakes and delicious breads. Beyond that is the deli with fresh cut and cured meats and cheeses. They carry an impressive selection of wines and beers. They also have a seafood section and BBQ section and a huge array of spices. Pretty much anything you might need, you can find here. It's a very impressive, well kept store.

Are you running out of herbs, sweets or spices or do you need an exotic one that is hard to find…read moreand can't leave the south zone of Rio? Casas Pedro offer you the perfect solution. All this for a very reasonable price, better than any possibility around this area and even competitive with regards to prices in suburban areas of Rio. I highly recommend this shop. They even offer a delivery service, although you need to buy more than 50 reais in Ipanema and 70 reais in Leblon to qualify for delivery. The box containing 67 peanut butter sweets (paçoca) is by far my favourite. I always need to have a one of those at home. They also sell the diet chocolate bar to make diet sweets, which costs a fortune elsewhere, even though it is not particularly cheap, it's definitely the cheapest in town.
