There is grocery paradise in São Paulo and it goes by the name of Empório Santa Luzia.
I have been coming to this emporium for quite some time and have never left this place disappointed - you can get almost anything that you need her and they do a lot of their own imports guaranteeing you with delicacies from around the world and they also have a whole section dedicated to gluten-free food including an in-house nutritionist who can guide you if needed. They have a wonderful Rotisseria where you can pick up great in-house prepared meals or dishes as per your needs. Their fruits & veggies section also is great.One of Santa Luzia's greatest parts is their cafe upstairs - simply put, they serve one the best espresso macchiatos in the city.
The management behind this emporium run it really well, the cashier counters, always full, are extremely efficiently managed - even on the busiest of days, I have never waited in line for over 10 mins to get to the cashier. The staff and the helpers are very polite and always around in case you need to find a products.
So why doesn't everyone go to Santa - all the quality comes at a price, if you want to get your packaged commodities you are better off at other supermarkets but if you want good fruit, veggies, breads, cold-cuts, gluten-free products, Santa Luzia is where you should go.
