✈ Kosher Travel to São Paulo, Brazil

Kosher Info: Higienópolis is the Jewish neighborhood in Sao Paulo. With at least two kosher supermarkets (during Passover you can find all you’ll need in a good price), the ‘Super K’ and ‘All Kosher’ you’ll feel at home.

While ‘All Kosher’ is more like a neighbor store, ‘Super K’ incorporates two kosher restaurants: one for sushi and another for pizza. They also deliver.

Since Higienópolis is home to the biggest orthodox community in Sao Paulo, almost any block will contain a restaurant, a café, a Pizza store or even a Sushi bar. The best way to know the place is checking the Kosher Map website for Sao Paulo.

Centro da Cultura Judaica (see more info below under “Jewish Info”) has a kosher cafeteria.
