Casa Santa Luzia

Casa Santa Luzia is hands down the BEST supermarket I’ve ever set foot in—and I’ve traveled a ton. No, no Whole Foods store (not even the flagship in Union Square, NY) comes close. And Eataly? Forget it; I’ve hit up five different locations in various cities, and they’re not on par with this gem. Perhaps Harrods in London could compete with its opulent vibe, but honestly, this place has a unique Brazilian soul that’s unbeatable. (Full disclosure: I haven’t made it to Isetan Depachika in Tokyo, Peck in Milan, KaDeWe in Berlin, or La Grande Épicerie de Paris yet, but they’re on my bucket list now thanks to this inspiration.) From the moment you walk in, it’s like entering a food museum—two sprawling floors of pure indulgence. I could (and have) spent hours wandering the aisles, ogling the artisanal cheeses from around the world (hundreds of varieties, perfectly aged and displayed like art), the premium meats and charcuterie that make your mouth water, the imported wines and chocolates that scream luxury, and don’t get me started on the rotisserie section with its ready-to-eat masterpieces. The deli is a highlight—affordable yet top-tier, with incredible breads, fresh fruits and veggies, gluten-free treasures, and exotic imports that you won’t find anywhere else in São Paulo. In some aisles, like the chocolates, sweets, cheeses or spices, I literally want to try EVERYTHING; it’s an amusement park for foodies, not just a store. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, the presentation is impeccable (think marble counters and elegant displays), and even though it’s on the pricier side, every penny feels worth it for the quality. If you’re a gourmet enthusiast or just love good food, do yourself a favor and visit—it’s not shopping, it’s an experience! 5 stars all the way. 🇧🇷🍷🧀

I wish there were super markets in the US like this. There was an upstairs and it’s encouraged to leave your shopping cart at the bottom level which is understandable. I love the employees had jeans jumpsuits on, really cool. The wine section was extensive which I loved. The fruits!!! Whoah can I say I am not a cantaloupe person but from the employee that offered cantaloupe and rosé. It was so sweet and juicy like a different type of fruit. I bought immediately. The walnuts and dates were amazingly yummy. The cherries are huge, mangoes better in Brazil and I cannot believe I just said that. That was the best supermarket I’ve been to. If you are visiting I say make sure you come there.

Casa Santa Luzia is a grocery store that clearly defines what a "supermarket" should be. You can find just about everything that your taste buds might fancy from Ritz Crackers to Beluga Caviar. Every department is stocked with high-quality food from around the world. The liquor department is awash with great wines, beer, and whiskeys. The checkout is always well staffed (no self checkouts here), so paying for ones items is not a time straining ordeal. Home and assistant shopping is also available. That said, I have a couple of peeves that cost Casa Santa Luzia one star. The store has clearly outgrown the floor space it has and is often filled to capacity to the point that you can't navigate the aisles. The other issue borders on the deadly sin of greed. Many locally available foodstuffs that other markets stock(exact same item) will carry a 20% to 25% uplift if purchased in Santa Luzia. This type of thing rubs me the wrong way for a couple of reasons that I won't address here. To conclude, if you are staying in Sao Paulo and like to prepare your own meals, then Santa Luzia is a must. I suggest you visit from 11 am to 2 pm or you will think you are in a bumper car ride at the local fair.

If you are a vegan, run to the second floor. They have tons of vegan sweets, artisanal cheeses, and unique vegan snacks. Just check out that easter chocolate egg - a little masterpiece!

Great selection of local and imported groceries. One of the few places in São Paulo that carries, sour cream.

I visited this place in December 23 this place is very good for purchase of Brazilian coffee , wine and groceries.

You will find groceries from all over the world of above-average quality. Fresh vegetables and fruit, a very good selection of cheese, wine, beer, and spirits, as well as vegetarian and vegan products. A large team at the checkouts handles quick processing. However, everything is done in a very small space.

An Aladdin’s cave of foods, madly busy with ever-patient staff who will help you find your favourite item, however obscure. The car park is ridiculously small but somehow it works.

Great grocery store! Really big but can be a bit crowded. I love the deli section, it's affordable and delicious. There's 2 floors but I found all my groceries and household goods on the first floor so can't say what's upstairs.

Food was mediocre, unflavorful and salty. Service wasnt good, when I made reservation in person, a girl walked me around to choice our table that night. She assured that table will be available for us. We got there that evening someone else was in that table and we were asked tonsit in a 13"x 13" table, I wasn't happy. I asked to moved our table, omg speaking of communication was bad. I get it Brazilian vs English. The person who help me then spoke English fluently and server also. Ambiance was loud for a fine dining, we hardly can speak to each other.

Very spcaious and clean supermarket in the heart of San Paulo and I would definitely recommend this place over any other supermarkets in the area, which usually are much smaller. I think you can find almost everything here including items for other cuisines. There is an attached bakery inside too. Credit cards are accepted.

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.

Wow. This is like a Whole Foods on steroids. They have a magnificent selection of fine cheese, wine, chocolate, meats and lots of organic stuff. Very clean and organized. My new favorite grocery store.

Excelente opção para enviar presentes se você mora fora do Brasil. Fui atendida pro diferentes pessoas ao longo dos ultimos meses e todas elas foram maravilhosas. Recentemente a Sra. Maria Alice me atendeu na solicitacao de enviar uma cesta para um hospital em Sao Paulo. Ela foi maravilhosa e a cesta estava tao linda que criou uma impressao maravilhosa, alem da qualidade dos produtos. Voce vera carinho nos detalhes do que eles fazem. Totalmente indico o emporio Santa Luzia ara compra de bolos de anioversario e cestas personalizadas.

The best place I found in several trips, to find high quality grub. Missing your Greek yogurt and detox drink? You'll find it here.

Excellent supermarket, probably the best in São Paulo.
