John, the owner, is super nice and speaks English very well. I came here to order to go back to my hotel, and ended up drinking beer for an hour outside relaxing and listening to the sound of the barrio. The food is excellent, the beer is COLD, and the servers are so nice. I give this restaurant my highest review!

I was happily surprised that my waitress spoke English. She was very friendly and gave us their only English menu. My wife and I ordered 2 - 163 angus burgers with fries and coke. The burgers were delicious and the caramelized onions gave it that extra yumminess. The fries tasted great as well. I highly recommend this place! My only complaint is that I wish they served milk shakes.

After walking from Copacabana beach to Ipanema beach, we were making the trek back to Copacabana…read more We had passed TT Burger on the way there and decided we would stop by for a later dinner. My guidebook proclaimed TT Burger as the best burger joint in Rio and we were craving some juicy burgers. TT Burger has some seats inside and a small patio. It seems like more of a grab-and-go spot as they have self-service kiosks but we decided to dine in on the patio. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, a soft drink, and their guava ketchup which is made in house. The guava ketchup was as delicious as it sounds and made for a good dipping sauce for the thin-cut fries. The burger itself, which had to be the star of the show, didn't blow my socks off but it was solid. Reminds me of a smaller burger you would get at a spot like Shake Shack in the US. If you're looking for a quick meal, give TT Burger a try!

So that's quantity, let's talk about quality. Bottom line, it's a decent burger. Worth being charged insane prices, even as a Carioca myself??? No, not at all. The fries are standard. If you are drunk and want a GOOD greasy fat burger, this is not the place. It will underwhelm and make you sad you spent so much. If you are just in the mood for a nice good old burger to dig into, even sober, this will be a better taste for you but again make you wonder why you spent so much.

I found the burger to be a bit dry, but I only went with the traditional, so there's still hope for the other varieties Hare offers. The beginnings of Hareburger are humble and special - a 19-year-old veggie pioneer asked his family for R$50,000 and created the original Hareburger to then sell along the beach in Zona Sul. It's worth mentioning he'd also play the flute and wear a magic hat while telling you wonderful things about mystical outer space. That's the culture that created this Hareburger spot and now you'll find a handful of locations strewn throughout Rio. Aside from the different veggie burger options, you can also enjoy a cone of the famous frozen açai - it's quite yummy- and a number of different juices.

Pros: big patty, fresh, someone speaks English Cons: Disappointing, over-salted, soggy…read more Let me explain. This place has a reputation of being the best burger in Brazil because of some associated chef's legacy and three different meats put into their signature patty. It didn't feel that gourmet to me, just a typical pub burger. I made my own burger medium with the signature patty, lettuce, tomato, Brazilian cheese, and pickles on a sweet potato bun. As well as fries. The burger came to me wrapped up in a bag with my fries; I was perplexed to find the bun already soggy, as I ate it in the restaurant a minute after they made it. The toppings were fine, nothing special except the cheese, but the burger was definitely rare and very over-seasoned. I'm not sure if this is a Brazilian thing, the under-doneness, but eating raw meat in a country you aren't from isn't the best idea. However, the fries were done properly-hard to mess those up. The tables had a couple of sauces; a ketchup that tasted like bbq sauce and a sweet chili sauce. Very random. Would I come here again? Most likely not. The price of the burger is a bit high and it just wasn't that memorable.

Overall I just loved the location, love the story that built this restuarant and LOVE the burgers. This place is only recently open so please go support it! Everything is hand made. All vegan!

The burgers are pretty good, and that's coming from a meat eater! You order a burger based on a menu of toppings but then get to pick what kind of patty you'd like. There are four to pick from with the soy bacon being my favorite over the also good Indian one. When I visited they were out of many items on the menu which isn't a good look but that didn't stop me from getting what I hoped to order. Prices are a steal for what you get. Credit cards accepted and the owner speaks English. I'd visit again but try something else. There are better veggie burgers, but it's still a good choice if you're craving one.
