Discover two of Belo Horizonte’s best-known food and cultural destinations on a tour through the city’s vibrant market scene.
Taste the flavours of Belo Horizonte
Start at the famous Mercado Central, a BH institution where locals have been shopping, eating and meeting for generations. Explore the busy stalls filled with Minas Gerais cheeses, sweets, spices, fresh produce, cachaça, handicrafts and regional specialities, while learning about the food and traditions of Minas Gerais.
Then head to Mercado Novo, a very different but equally fascinating part of the city. Once a traditional market, Mercado Novo has become one of BH’s coolest meeting places, combining food, drinks, independent producers, restaurants, bars, music and creative businesses.
Two markets, two sides of BH
The contrast between the traditional Mercado Central and the more modern, creative atmosphere of Mercado Novo gives you a great introduction to the character of Belo Horizonte.
Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to taste local products, discover typical Minas Gerais dishes and drinks, and find out what locals actually eat, drink and buy.
This is more than a food tour. It’s a chance to experience the people, flavours and atmosphere that make Belo Horizonte unique.
