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.

Lovely sample of a grocery store. Specialty items, a restaurant with great patio. A bit pricey…read more Lots of tourists.

Well. What is there to say. It's big. Has a lot of things. You will wait in line until you want to…read morecry sometimes. The prices are decent but sometimes the selection of produce is terrrrrrible. They have a pretty decent plant selection in the back, bikes, dog food, cleaning supplies, electronics, etc. You can pay bills, buy a cellphone, eat some food at their mini food court. The people who work there look miserable and move in absolute slow-motion, but I mostly just find this funny. It is what it is.

Wow this grocery store is horrible. We live in ipanema and im pretty disgusted with zona sul's…read moreprices and lack of selection so i thought it might be nice to check out a big box store in barra. For some things prices are significantly cheaper here, even as much as half off. But for being about 10 times as big as zona sul it doesnt have much more variety or selection on the shelves, basically it has the exact same stuff but 10 times as much of it. The fish department was actually atrocious- i should have taken some pics of the horrendous quality they had on display. Walking out of the store i couldnt help but compare it to Aldi in the US and think "this is a store for poor people". I will never willingly come back here.
