This unassuming little market is amazing. They have a butcher counter where they'll cut beef or pork to order. They also make their own sausages, which I haven't tried yet. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They advised me to buy smoked pork ribs and chistorra sausage in place of Tasso ham and andouille for Cajun red beans. It's better than the authentic version. They have excellent Portuguese olive oil and lots of Brazilian products. read more

They of Fer the best Norweyan salted cod. Great productos from Spain and Portugal and Brasil.

Well stocked with a variety of Brazilian , Portuguese, and Spanish foods. Would definitely recommend.

This place was amazing. The butchers were helpful. Cut everything I needed to order and made me feel welcome. This is where I am going to buy my meat in the future. Locally owned and operated for decades. This is a find! read more

Great place for south american cuts of meat. Coxinha, pao de queijo, spices, Brazilian coffee. Service is excellent and prices are reasonable. Love this place!!!! read more

They have Sumol!!!! As a luso-African, I grew up drinking Sumol (the pineapple flavor). You only see it in the Lusophone community. I grew up in Rhode Island which has a big lusophone population (European Portuguese, Luso-African and Brazilian), so seeing it here was like a quick flashback home. I'll be back whenever I get homesick. Although I don't drink soda anymore, but a quick sip of Sumol is a great memory of home... My Mom is visiting soon, so I might bring her here or grab a surprise treat to bring to her!! read more

One of the many reasons why I love the D.C. area is the communities it attracts from around the world and the restaurants and grocers that follow. Located on a strip near a Persian cafe (Mocha Cafe) is a small corner store that sells food from Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. There's a butcher that sells meats in the back and all sorts of goods. read more

Since visiting the Brazilian embassy on the open embassy day, I have been craving and searching for pao de queijo, the delicious and wonderful cheesy bread I had there. Super happy I found it here. They really should rename this store to Brazilian grocery, not European foods -- or at least specify Brazilian in the store name. At least the outside has the Brazilian flag on the sign. I uploaded a ton of the cheesy bread pao de queijo pictures Lol. So many varieties! Enjoy! read more

I was so excited to find a store so close to me that sells Yerba mate! Now I don't have to order online. This store has limited hours but a decent selection for its small size. They carry a handful of mate brands, along with a selection of sweet and savory treats, meats and soaps. read more

3.5 stars. They have the cheesy breads and the meat they serve at Brazilian steakhouses. That's it. That's my review. The fact that they have these should speak for themselves. Ok fine. I'll add a bit more. They're really nice here. If you're a fan of blood sausages, sausages/meat, and Brazilian food, check them out. They have some interesting stuff. read more

Lots of great stuff. Da pra matar algumas saudades! Great choices. Good luck trying to limit yourself!

A Portuguese/ Brazilian market. Good prices and a variety of products for the português and Brazilian communities.

A small market with most of the staple groceries from Brazil, as well as a handful of items from Portugal and other Latin American countries. For example, we stopped there today to buy some frozen pão de queijo (Forno de Minas), goiabada (Predilecta), margarina (Qualy), requeijão (Catupiry), and cream crackers (Piraquê). We've also found refrigerated premade wrappers for pasteis, frozen salgadinhos, Nescau, Farinha Lactea, Pilão, etc. Their stock fluctuates throughout the year and more popular brands often sell out. Their Brazilian grocery options are also far smaller compared to other stores like By Brazil up in Wheaton. For example: By Brazil typically stocks a few rows deep worth of Piraquê crackers, including Água Gergelim and Água e Sal. Here you'll be lucky to score even a few packages of the standard cream crackers. There's also what appears to be a bread case plastered with stickers for the famed Teixeira's Bakery out of Newark, but a smattering of random bags and tools inside instead. If you're craving the pão francês/pãozinho you can find at some of the Brazilian shops in Maryland, you're out of luck. But if you live in Northern Virginia and can't spare the roadtrip up to Maryland, or are looking for a heartier alternative to the Brazi Bites at Whole Foods/Costco, this store can serve as a stopgap. On a COVID-19 note, they've adjusted hours (10A-3P). The store has a posted sign urging visitors to wear face masks and staff here are all wearing gloves and face masks. But it's cramped quarters in this shop and at least a handful of customers I've seen are flouting wearing a mask. Not ideal, but at least the place isn't too busy. read more

Our goto spot for picanha, grass-fed beef, and other Brazilian goodies including pao de queijo

Great variety. I have been trying to go to this place for quite a while and finally I did. With COVID schedule I had a hard time but made it. its a very popular place, there was a line to go in as they abide by the city's guidelines. It's great to be able to find so many things from back home. The owners are helpful and pleasant. I really like that they have a butcher shop right there. This place is gonna become a staple in my grocery-life. read more

European Foods Import Export - Great variety of polpa de frutas for juice, also pão de queijo - International Grocery Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Small store but packs a punch for unique portugese and brazilian grocery items, especially hard to find pure pressed olive oils. A fantastic selection of virgin, pure, unadulterated, small batch-crafted olive oils from Portugal. A decent selection of Portugese wines and especially from time to time, they stock the hard to find white port. They have a good frozen selection of pastel de nata, the creme pastries you eat with coffee. They have bacalau (cod) fritters already for you to pop in the oven and serve. Also they have frozen empanada style pastries done in the brazilian style. I never buy anything from their meat counter, because I am not a meat eater, but it looks amazing. This is a treasure in Arlington and you are missing out by not visiting and sampling some of their portugese and brazilian imports. Just BIG WOW FACTOR. read more

This shop is a must for anyone seeking top quality products and foods from Portugal and Brazil, mainly. The family that runs it has been there for many years and are very helpful in case of any questions. I've never had a non-five star experience there, just an excellent spot! read more

Eu amo essa loja! I was craving peri peri and some cerveja de Portugal (super bock) They habe tons of Portuguese and Brasilian foods/drinks, wines ,meats etc. owners are so nice. Highly recommend read more

It's been a while since we've been here, but a recent visit helps me remember why we loved it. European Foods carries Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian food products. I came in searching for accompaniments to our Spanish tapas dinner and was pleasantly surprised to walk out with: Spanish Olives with anchovies Galician canned octopus and mussels Boquerones These finds would normally set me back $30-40 in DC, but I got everything for about $20. The olives remind me of this summer in Spain and I can't wait to come back to European Foods to stock up. read more

The place is clean. It has set up protocols for covid. It is bit pricy. The meat market is clean but prices are a bit high read more

Arlington staple love this spot, everyone should come here to try out awesome spices offered and goodies from far & has been a neighborhood grocery for so long come out and support ! read more

Being a product of both Portuguese and Brazilian parents, this place reminds me of home. Yesterday, I was feeling a bit homesick and went here to purchase products that I grew up with growing up in an ethnic family just a close drive to Newark, NJ. The best thing about it - on Wednesday nights they get a fresh delivery of Portugese rolls (aka "Papo Secos") that come from the famous Teixeira Bakery in Newark, NJ. I highly recommend you try it. Another reason I love it so much is that I get to practice my Portuguese when I walk in. The folks that work there are really nice and they can answer any questions you have about the fresh meats and imported cheeses you may have. They recently renovated the shop last year and I think the layout is great. It is pretty well organized. I've been going here for over a year, and I think it is one of the best kept secrets in the area! read more

LOVE IT. If you have ever traveled to South America you are going to lose your mind in here. Great fresh meats in all sorts of cuts, imported beer you haven't had in ages, fresh bread every Thursday, and my favorite thing of all would have to be the frozen food section. Do yourself a huge favor and grab a bag of coxinhas and then come back and thank me for changing your life. I usually just pop like 5 of these bad boys in the oven or toaster at about 350 and in 15 minutes I'm in Brazil. I believe they still do free tastings on Saturdays from 11am to 1pm of 12pm to 2pm, either way, I hope for your sake they do, otherwise welcome anyways, buy something you cheapskate. read more

Hooooooly crap!!!!!! After years of livid in the dc area I finally found a Portuguese store!!!!!! No more waiting until I drive all the way to new York to get my hands on my chourica, caldo verde, dobrasa, favorite olive oil, serrinha... You get the point. There aren't too many portuguese in this area it seems so their bigger store is in manassas where they have more portuguese items. However, ifyou ever have a hankering for something they don't have here just ask them for it and they will gladly get it for you. They also make weekly trips to new jersey to pick up new items and will take personal orders from you (even over the phone) and hold it for you until you come in. The only drawback isthey make their trips on like Tuesday so if you're looking for some natas or broa or any bread it won't be very fresh. But hey, they'll always freeze stuff so it keeps!! Great great great great place with really nice employees. So worth the trek from dc!!!!! read more

We drove from out of State to pick up picanha at European Foods. We came away with a bounty of produce and wine at a very reasonable price. You can see the results in the photograph above with the picanha steaks and sausage we cooked. We'll certainly be back soon! read more

This place has all kinds of good stuff from Brazil that is difficult to find in the area. Pao de queijo, queijo de minas, various sausages, and of course passionfruit juice. I have yet to find a place with actual passionfruit in the area (the big yellow kind), but European Foods has the unsweetened concentrate from Da Fruta that is about as close as you are going to get without smuggling them back on the plane. I also believe it is family owned, and the folks there are always friendly and helpful. read more

If you miss the deli markets of Europe of Latin America, then fear not, this small, newly revamped, grocery store on the corner of Washington Boulevard and Pershing Drive, will probably have what you are looking for. They have frozen salted cod, Brazilian flipflops (yes, you might want green and yellow flipflops), fresh bread, slabs of meat, cheese wrapped only in muslin negligees, wine oh wine, exotic soda by the liter, oh joy, oh joy! I bought a whole wheel of cheese (okay, it was about the size of a softball) for under $5 per pound! It's a really small shop but they seem to have endless varieties of goodies. And the folks who work there (the owners?), are friendly. And informed and helpful. This could be my new fave! read more

The real deal on Portuguese food. My dad is Portuguese and this is the stuff he would buy, linguica, chorizo, sardinhas, oils, bacalao. They have wines as well. I can't speak for Brazilian (not my area of knowledge) but you have what you need to cook true continental Portuguese foods here. They also bring down stuff (yummy baked good and meats) from the Newark store "Lopes," which we used to make pilgrimages to in my youth. Nice people too. read more

There is nothing European about this place... Brazilian and other South American treats yes. They are very well-stocked with sausages and other processed meats. If you're lucky you might find some Suckling piglet or pulled goat. This is perfect for those who want to spice up their BBQ and test their grill skills. You can also find some dried and salted seafood. They are perfect for making a soup. You can also pick up some Portuguese rolls and some Brazilian cheese bread. Perfect for a quick snack. Unfortunately they lack fresh fruit. However they do have some frozen pulp and Brazilian drinks. If you've never been to European Foods check it out. :) read more

I like this place. It's smallish, but you can find all kinds of goodies from the lusophone world. Also, they have frozen Portuguese egg tarts- amazing! read more

Great store. I happened upon it while trying to find El Charrito (see separate review) and got a passion fruit soda, as well as a 6 pack of brazilian beer. The staff are friendly. I'll have to look for the frozen cheese rolls next time! read more

So far the BEST place to buy brazilian food. They have everything, to make any brazilian happy: brazilian barbecues cuts of meats, feijoada, brazilian sausages, cheese rolls (pao de queijo), guarana, coxinha, brigadeiro, sonho de valsa, coffe, some whithe / fresh cheese and a huge variety of other countries, Portugal and South America. The staff is awesome friendly and they speak portuguese. The man that cut the meats always understand me, even when I'm buying just a little piece (from ribs, i.e) he will always ask me if I want him to separate the bones, and had never tried to push me another stuff but what I have asked. The cashier is also something else, always smiling, and will always wish you a good morning / afternoon. When I;m homesick, just to be there helps me to feel better \o/ Highly recommend a pit stop there! read more

Great meat selection for your weekend churrasco! Wonderful frozen appetizers for a gathering (Kibes and Bolinhos) and good refreshments and wines selection. Friendly staff, clean. read more

Why do they call this place European at all? It's all and only Latin American stuff. I lived in Europe for 10 years and there's nothing here I even recognize. It's all in Spanish and Portuguese ... This place needs to be called Sabor de Sud America, not Europe... Wrong advertising completely. read more

Sadly little market. I was really disappointed because there was very little to nothing in the store. Lots of empty cases. For example, the smoked sausage was so hard it definitely had to have been there for weeks. People seemed nice but for the few of these markets around this area not worth the time or money. Very sad and very disappointed. PS- don't get deceived by the "European" part of the sign, they have very little European products. read more

I love Brazilian food and culture and my wife comes from a Portuguese family. This amazing little market specializes in Brazilian and Portuguese products, so it is perfect for us. We use it primarily for specialty products that we love: Acai from the Amazon; cheese from Minas Gerais; picanha (the best cut of steak in Brazilian steakhouses); carbonated water from Portuguese springs; Portuguese wine; and of course the famous pastais de nata (an egg custard tart) originally from Belem in Portugal. In short, awesome food, friendly staff, good prices, and a feeling like you have just stepped into a little corner market in Lisbon. What's not to love? read more

This place is amazing. I am Brazilian and a serious BBQer. The selection and price of meats in this place is bar none. They also have great sausages that they make in house. I could spend all day talking about the goodies in this place. Staff is always friendly. I have been coming to this place for the last six years since moving to the area and have never been disappointed. read more

OMG! This place is heaven! I am Brazilian and I used to live in NYC and when I moved to DC I was super sad that it would become close to impossible to find a good "mercadinho," but this!! It has everything, from queijo mineiro to alfajores. But the best thing ever is that they have CHOCAPIC! For those not familiar with this, it's simply the best cereal in the WORLD and can only be found in Europe. The people are also very friendly and I had a nice little chat with one of the people who worked there. And they all speak Portuguese, which is great! I went on a Sunday morning, so they were out of one of things I wanted, but that's normal since they get their shipment on Mondays. Definitely worth going! I am totally going back there!!! :-) read more
