The crispy, toasted bread pairs so well with the earthy mushrooms, crisp corn and lettuce, and the delicious egg! It tastes like an upscale burger but doesn’t have the industrial feel you often get with American fast food. It honestly blows every burger I’ve ever had out of the water! And at just USD, it’s practically a steal.

My Time in Porto Alegre
There are a couple of amazing spots in Porto Alegre where you can get a top-notch gaúcho sandwich. If you find yourself in the Bom Fim neighborhood, head over to Lancheria do Parque on Av. Osvaldo Aranha. Not only can you try a number of Brazilian favorites, but you can also enjoy an array of fresh juices!
A traditional, non-pretentious bar with the feel of an Irish pub, Apolinário Bar serves 8 draft beers, hundreds of craft beers, and bar food appetizers. It’s pretty unassuming, so you may have to search for it, but the laid-back atmosphere is worth the trouble.

If you head to the coastal Parque Moacyr Scliar in the Centro Histórico neighborhood, you’ll come across a beautiful, peaceful boardwalk area. There, you’ll find lots of boats and a round, futuristic-looking restaurant like something straight out of The Jetsons. This is 360 POA Gastrobar, which is covered in big glass windows that offer 360-degree views of the area.
What to Eat
You can buy bags of their strong and aromatic coffees in the shop, and you can also enjoy a fresh cup with a snack. I recommend ordering their longo, a dark, strong double espresso that gave me a huge energy boost!
When you’re ready for a full meal, I suggest finding a sit-down area near six vendors serving a variety of cuisines. Their offerings include Brazilian, Japanese, and Italian. I suggest trying their delicious charque fried rice, which contains jerk beef; as well as the charque beef chop and fried egg. They’re out of this world!
The gamy flavor of the chicken hearts pairs perfectly with the cheese, which oozes out of the sandwich the moment it’s cut open. Bolstering the flavor are a generous helping of creamy mayo, fresh and juicy tomatoes, and crunchy lettuce. It’s almost like a gamy cheeseburger, only better!
The city was the site of the first confrontation of the Farrapos War, a decade-long uprising over trade between rebels and the Brazilian Empire that lasted from 1835-1845. Despite the war, Porto Alegre continued to grow, and eventually became known as the birthplace of prominent Brazilian intellectuals, politicians, writers, artists, and more.

I suggest enjoying your sandwich with a fresh juice. For just .50 USD, you can get an entire blender full of refreshing watermelon juice or a sour and tangy passionfruit-mango-orange juice. Best of all, a party of three can easily eat there for under USD, so it’s great if you’re traveling on a budget!
Conclusion
The meaty entrecôte rib filet, is a highlight and pairs wonderfully with their flavorful chimichurri. The polenta and the sausages in the skewers had some nice Italian herbal influences. Meanwhile, the parmesan-crusted chicken was crispy, salty, and one of my favorite dishes in Porto Alegre overall.
