Instituto Ata

Top choice in São Paulo


Brazil's most famous gourmet chef, Alex Atala of D.O.M. fame, is behind this expansive gourmet emporium featuring provisions from small farms and producers from the country's five ecoregions: caatinga, cerrado, Mata Atlântica, Amazônia and Pampas, which are spread about various spaces on the bottom floor of hip Mercado Municipal de Pinheiros.

It's a fantastic spot to pick up unique and otherwise hard-to-find culinary oddities from around Brazil.
