Whether you're a local foodie, a tourist exploring the best restaurants in Porto, or simply someone who believes everything is better with cheese — the Vacinado Burger at Pavao is an experience you absolutely cannot miss. This is not just food. This is a moment worth sharing, photographing, and talking about long after you leave Portugal.

WHAT IS THE VACINADO BURGER?

The Vacinado Burger is one of the most talked-about dishes at Pavao Restaurante & Pizzaria Porto. It is built for those who love bold flavours, generous portions and a little theatre at the dinner table.

What's inside:

- Toasted brioche bun — soft, golden and slightly sweet

- Aioli — our house-made creamy aioli spread generously on the bun

- 160g beef patty — thick, juicy and cooked to perfection

- Melted cheddar — layered inside the burger for maximum cheese impact

- Crispy bacon — two generous strips of perfectly crisped streaky bacon

- Caramelised onion — slow-cooked sweet onions that add depth and richness

- Your personal syringe of liquid cheddar sauce — the star of the show

- Golden crispy fries — a generous portion of seasoned fries on the side

The syringe arrives filled with warm, smooth liquid cheddar — and yes, you inject it directly into your burger yourself. It's interactive, it's messy in the best possible way, and it makes for an incredible photo.

Pro tip: Inject half the cheddar before your first bite, then use the rest as you go. Trust us on this one.
