Hocca Bar In Mercado Municipal Sao Paulo Brazil

Hocca Bar at Mercado Municipal

Hocca Bar is the most well-known place to eat at the Mercado Municipal. While the other restaurants had only a few guests, Hocca Bar's mezzanine floor restaurant was almost full on a Friday afternoon. You can either dine on the ground floor or the mezzanine level.

Restaurant service in Sao Paulo is fast. In Hocca Bar, it was the same. Even when many people came before us within minutes food arrived.

A tour to Mercado Municipal must include eating at Hocca Bar. Hocca Bar's sandwiches are huge and even if you are a big eater, I don't think you can finish the sandwiches served. Look at these two varieties of mortadella sandwiches:

We had pastel de bacalhau (codfish pastel), the price for each was R$14.90. These are rectangular pastries filled with shredded pieces of pure cod bathed in olive oil and Hocca's secret recipe.

You can eat the mortadella or pastel with this hot sauce that tasted like spicy mayo:

Would you stay farther from Rio’s famous sights fo Would you stay farther from Rio’s famous sights for a view like this? 🇧🇷

Sunset over Marapendi Lagoon, filmed in mid-September from the Grand Club lounge balcony at Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro. A boat passing across the water, apartments in the distance, and a view worth taking your time over.

My connection to Barra da Tijuca goes back to 2013, when I spent two weeks here in a private duplex apartment, before the Grand Hyatt opened. Returning last month gave me another way to experience this part of Rio.

If you want a quieter base, away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas, I’d consider staying here. Grand Hyatt Rio is a lovely option for that kind of trip.

The trade-off is travel time. Copacabana can be roughly half an hour away by car in light traffic, but allow an hour or more when traffic is heavy. If your visit is short and packed with sightseeing, staying closer to the places you want to explore may be more practical.

But if you have time to slow down and enjoy another side of Rio, Barra da Tijuca deserves a look.

Save this for planning your Rio stay. Do you prefer a quieter base or staying close to the action?

Most visitors only spend a few hours in San Marino Most visitors only spend a few hours in San Marino. I decided to stay overnight, and it completely changed the experience.

As the day-trippers left, the streets fell silent. The medieval castle took on a different charm in the warm evening light, the sunset over the surrounding countryside was unforgettable, and dinner was a delicious plate of fresh truffle pasta.

If you’re planning a trip through Italy, don’t just make San Marino a quick stop. Spend the night. You’ll experience a peaceful side of one of the world’s smallest countries that many visitors never get to see.

Would you stay overnight in San Marino?

Nature never stops surprising me. Have you ever seen a seed that can do this?

During our walking tour of Baku, we unexpectedly s During our walking tour of Baku, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a rehearsal of traditional Azerbaijani male dancers. Dressed in their striking chokha costumes and papakha hats, they practiced powerful, warrior-like movements rooted in centuries of Caucasian tradition.

It wasn’t a staged performance for tourists, just a beautiful, authentic glimpse into Azerbaijan’s living culture. These spontaneous moments are often the ones I remember most from my travels.
