"At Bar do Mané in São Paulo, Brazil, they pile hot sliced mortadella on a crusty roll with cheese, and it's one of the best things I've ever eaten."

Nicole Fung

"Watch as fresh slices of mortadella are sliced, stacked, and then thrown onto a griddle creating a crispy browned crust. A layer of cheese is added which instantly melts as it touches the surface of the hot mortadella then sandwiched between a simple white roll. So good!"

Lonely Planet

"A fabulous urban market specializes in all things edible. It’s also a great place to sample a couple of classic Sampa delights, one of them is mortadella (Italian sausage) sandwich at Bar do Mané."

"The Italian mortadela sandwich is the signature dish here - head to Bar do Mané for the best one in town."

Andy Bates

"When I bit into the sandwich, I immediately noticed the difference from the usual Italian-style. Because of the availability of cattle in Brazil, the Bar do Mane variation is actually made from a mixture of pork and beef. This was a beast of a sandwich!"

Kim Foley MacKinnon

"Be sure to order a mortadella sandwich from Bar do Mané, the alleged creator of the Italian-sausage-stuffed bite. While you’re nibbling, don’t miss the 72 stained-glass windows that depict different aspects of food production in the region."

World Travel Guide

"Imagine a sandwich piled up high with nearly half a pound of mortadella sausage, Provolone cheese, sourdough bread, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. It’s quite literally a feast for the meat lover!"

Miriam B. Weiner

"Travelers warn that the market gets exceptionally busy on the weekends, so come prepared for long lines; even better, try to visit on a weekday. A handful of restaurants and bars operate inside the Mercadão – you should try the famous massive (and tasty) mortadella sandwich at Bar do Mané."

David Hoffmann

"The mortadella was phenomenal and peppery. I loved it with lime squeezed on top. It was the best mortadella I’ve ever eaten! Then, I went in the back to see them make a mortadella sandwich!"

The Sum of Travel

"The most famous version is the one found in Bar do Mané in the city’s bustling Mercado Municipal. This Anthony Bourdain approved sandwich is salty and cheesy goodness. I’d recommend a beer or a Guaraná soft drink to wash it all down with."
