Le Grand Burger

Porto Alegre


It pains us to think a gourmet burger hot spot in the middle of Brazilian beef country needs to import its main ingredient from the UK, but such is life. This whimsical, French-inspired hamburgueria consistently takes the city's best burger honors.

The long list of creative burgers (all of which can be made vegetarian, with five vegan choices as well) satiates a beautiful Moinhos de Vento crowd. Reservations recommended.
