Egon’s Supermercado is located 55 kilometres from the center of Brasília, and while many would think that this is a long way to go shopping, this place is well worth it.
Before you reach the little town where Egon’s is located, you drive through a rural area that is dominated by corn and soy fields and, depending on the season, sunflower fields that are an amazing sight when they are in full flower. The area was set up by the founders of Brasília to be an agricultural area by the Projeto de Assentamento Dirigido do Distrito Federal (PAD-DF) and it attracted people from all over Brazil to work on the land.
Egon Prediger, a son of parents with German heritage, arrived here in the 1980 from a German settlement in Rio Grande do Sul to work on the soybean crops. But he soon realised that there was a need for a restaurant to feed the workers, so he and his wife set up one up. They also realised that a supermarket was needed to serve the local population with essential items like meat, vegetables, agricultural goods, and everyday items.
Egon’s Supermercado was born. It has since grown from a 400m2 shop to nearly 2000m2 today. The supermarket is owned and operated by the Prediger family.
When you enter the store it looks like every small country supermarket, but extremely clean and airy. You see all the goods for sale like in every other country store, from cowboy hats, work boots, cachaça, pet food, vegetables, etc.
But then you find row after row of herbs and spices from the brand Familia Prediger. And I mean herbs and spices that you will rarely find in Brasília. Egon’s is famous for its charcuterie, producing various salamis, as well as fresh and smoked sausages. The salami is simply divine.
The butchery section contains a huge selection of various cuts of beef, pork, and lamb. You can also find sausages like black and white blood sausages, Frankfurters, Kraków’s, smoked hams, as well as pickled vegetables in all sizes.
During our visit Jandir Prediger mentioned that all the fresh vegetables and meats are organic and sourced from the surrounding area. The herbs and spices are also organic, as well as all the ingredients for the salamis.
To top it all off, the prices are much lower compared to Brasilia. You will be surprised by the quality of the products, and what they cost you.
There is a restaurant, called Pad Bier Restaurante, on the other side of the street which has a small beer garden attached. Food is per kilo with a choice from a buffet. Again, the quality and pricing is fantastic. On weekends, especially Saturdays, it is a popular hangout for motorcycle riders from Brasilia.
All in all, a great experience; a great drive through farmlands, top quality meats and herbs, and a great restaurant. Definitely worth the drive.

If you want a day trip outside the city, Billy does really great tours to Cristalina, Pirenopolis, etc. I went on a Cristalina small group tour with him and it was really fun. My son is still talking about it two years later.

One of the best Açaís I've ever tried!
Super affordable, with generous portions. My favorite is the one mixed with cupuaçu sorbet 😍
The place is very charming and peaceful. They offer a range of delicious typical food and the owner is super friendly.

Highly recommended
Cristina has a natural ability to engage with children of all ages. With her previous profession employment as a teacher, and having two adult children of her own, she is well placed to take responsibility for any children in her care. Speaking fluent Portuguese and English, your children will be in safe hands and also receive the benefits of improving their language abilities.

I came here to write a post about Billy and I see there already is one! So I'll just add my experience. When I was brand-new to Brasilia I did a group tour of Brasilia. This is a really great tour - you'll learn not only the layout of the city and the history of why it's been done that way, but also get to see all the big monuments and best architecture. I would really recommend this tour if you have family or friends visiting. You'll learn so much about the city, and your guests will feel like they actually know the city.

Moving is often a stressful and daunting task, but AAA Moving & Relocations LLC made it a breeze!
The team was fantastic - they were professional, efficient, friendly and patient! They took great care in packing and securing all of my belongings, and even went above and beyond to collect a few items that I had forgotten.
Paulo Woolny, the owner of the company, was also incredibly helpful throughout the process. He provided transparent and accurate quotes upfront, so there were no surprises when it came to the cost of my move. He also kept me informed every step of the way, which really put my mind at ease. He is always willing to please you if he can and if something is under his control.
When my removal reached Italy, their Italian counterparts were just as efficient and careful. All my belongings arrived in time and in perfect condition, which was great.
Overall, I cannot recommend AAA Moving & Relocations LLC highly enough. They truly are experts in their field, and they made what could have been a very stressful experience into a pleasant and easy one. If you're looking for a moving company that cares about your belongings and your peace of mind, look no further than AAA Moving & Relocations LLC. You shall not be disappointed!
