The 7 Best Burgers In São Paulo, How do these rankings work?

1. Holy Burger 

You’ll probably not see better looking burgers no matter where you travel in the world. The fact that they taste delicious is the big bonus.

They are usually loaded with cheese and served up with super house cocktails. Everything you could want for a night out with good friends.

2. Vinil Burger

They opened in 2012 and have been taking the city by storm since then with their fresh, tasty and stacked burgers.

Their concept is unique in that you can choose your toppings but the price will always be the same. Simple and utterly delectable. What more could you ask for?

3. Z Deli Sandwich Shop

This traditional Jewish deli has been a go-to spot in the Jardins neighbourhood since the 1980s. As well as huge, overstuffed sandwiches on homebaked bread, their burgers are amazing.

Choose from authentic and juicy Brasilian hamburgers or try the lamb version.

4. Meats

Meats is a gourmet burger and milkshake restaurant that brings things to another level with their creative and extravagant toppings.

Toppings include burger, cheddar, bacon and the famous shrimp bobó or grated foie gras – a really indulgent treat. Wash it all down with a delightfully boozy milkshake that’s spiked with Jack Daniel’s.

5. St. Louis Burger Shop

St. Louis Burger Shop has been cooking up thick, juicy patties for more than 10 years in Sao Paulo. Like the name suggests, it’s a US-style burger joint that keeps things simple, but delicious.

Their blue cheese and rocket burger is a must-order.

6. Burger Joint New York

Burger Joint is a famously ‘hidden’ burger shop in NYC, and has since expanded to several other cities across the world. Write down how you want you burger on a piece of paper and wait for the juicy hamburger to arrive in front of you.

Order the Lazy Boy: Colby & Cheddar Cheeses, lettuce, tomato, purple onion, pickles and house mayonnaise, rib bacon and Dijon mustard. *drools*

7. Bullguer

If you love the American diner-style smashed burger then Bullguer will be your new beef heaven. They cook all the burgers to order, with 100% Black Angus beef for fantastic flavour.

Think Shake Shack, Sao Paulo style.
