    Luxury hot dogs 🌭 😁😋. The place looks really good and luxurious, ingredients are 🔝 plus lemonade with real 🍯 honey. Even the toiletries are from Rituals and you get your own towel to wipe yours hands. Family business where u will be treated like 🤴 👸.

    Beautifully decorated bijou of a place with a kind and hands-on owner. Great tasting food, a true reinvention of the hot dog! Very friendly service. Easy 5 stars all day long!

    Loved this place! The hot dog buns were super soft inside with a little crunch on the outside. Maybe the best hot dog bun I have ever had. Loved the selection. Mine was amazing and my husband loved his. Fries were perfect and the garlic aioli was a great dipping option. We sat outside and the atmosphere was great - quiet but lively around us. Highly recommend this place! And service was excellent!!

    DO go here - these are no ordinary hot dogs and the service is excellent. Fine dining meets gourmet hot dogs in an incredibly decorated small restaurant with inside and outside seating. Hot Dogs are no longer just a snack. This is an evening meal that will not disappoint. The owners have made a lot of effort with excellent results. Book now!

    Decor and vibes is pretty unique for a hot dog place- the flavors around the hot dog dish was pretty good (would definitely come back) and the fresh squeezed juice was amazing. The service was also great. The hot dog sausage itself though could have been more seared and unique, with more flavors. Overall, though, would highly recommend this place.

    Traveling with my very picky son, who wanted hot dogs... I googled hot dogs and found this gem! This is NOT a basic hot dog vendor store. This is a very clever restaurant that adds class & refinement to a hot dog. They create multiple versions of gourmet hot dogs using the freshest and some of the last ingredients and toppings you'd expect on a hot dog. Paulo was our server (I believe he is also the owner or manager) he was very passionate about the items on the menu, he took the time to explain and answer all of my questions. He was super attentive making sure we were happy with everything we had ordered. I am a somewhat bigger guy so I had the intention on ordering two hotdogs for myself but he was nice enough to warm me that that isn't normal and most people are full after one... He was right, the basic hot dog size is big, then after adding all of the toppings it's huge! We sat at the outdoor seating of the restaurant, we had a beautiful view of the restaurants that line the street just pass Hot Dog's da Praca. With that said, the interior here is just as beautiful. The inside of the restaurant is decorated in a sexy modern style with medium lighten and walls lined with bottles of wine. My 6 year old loved this place and asked to come back multiple times... We definitely will be back on our next trip to the area. Obrigado Paulo!

    I'm a hotdog guy: this was not what I expected. I expected big, greasy sausages, covered in sauce and melted cheese, topped with something crunchy. You know, hipster burgers, but with hotdogs. That's not what I got. This is kind of that, but elegant. Elegant, delicate, and classy. We got a table outside during a chilly evening, in the middle of the street. Although this is the busy Rua Amarela, this place is at the end of it, so it's not as noicy as others. They have a really cozy spot, with some open flame heating, and far enough between the tables to get a private feel. The guys running this restaurant are really great, super friendly and helpful, and pays great attention to make sure you'll have a nice visit. Upon recommendation we ordered two of their award winning hotdogs: "Brie" and "Lusitano". With that, a local IPA and a glass of red wine, also by recommendation. And by golly were those recommendations good! You can tell from the first bite that all ingredients are top quality. From the fluffy bun, through the toppings and sauces, all the way into the core of the sausage; nothing but fresh, delicious joy. The menu said something to the likes of "ingredients can be changed upon chefs approval", I took it as a joke when reading it, but after tasting these masterpieces I think that's serious. These guys really know what they're doing, and I found it incredible they could construct these little culinary adventures based on a hotdog! One of these darlings will get you full, but I really regret we didn't get an additional one to share. They are just that good, and I look forward to coming back here! Guys, seriously, if you've read this far it's a no-brainer: you care about hotdogs almost as much as these guys do; pay them a visit. You wont regret it, but it may change the way you look at a hotdog for the rest of your life.

    Let’s talk about the fries! WOW Brest one I had years and with the home made sauce is magic! The hot day we’re good - too much bread for me! The service is great 😊

    Truly a fabulous experience! Best food we ate in Portugal! Best, and most interesting, hot dogs we've ever had. Unlike anything we've had before. The restaurant is a place of luxury and the owners are great. Highly recommended.

    Different then what you expect but in a very good way. Very nice food (hot dogs in a culinary way!), nice cocktails and very good service. An unexpected gem in a lovely little street. Will come here again definitely.

    This is not a ordinary hot dog! We were a party of three on a late Thursday afternoon. We were greeted and served by the two owners. They were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered three of the gourmet dogs. They graciously brought out a fourth for us to try as well. The buns have a little crunch on the outside and super soft on the inside. The hot dog they use is firm and have a delicious taste. The toppings for each of the dogs were so unique and flavorful. On top of it all they hot dogs looked to beautiful to eat. The decor is modern and classy. When we are back in Cascais we will return. Highly recommended!

    Myself and my family went there while we were on holiday. We had beautiful starters (the nachos with guac and Mexican sauce were especially nice). We had beautiful hotdogs and the staff were so nice as to give us a free hotdog to taste which was lovely. We also tried the red velvet and pistachio brownies for dessert which were so so nice. The atmosphere and service was lovely and the staff were exceptionally nice. The espresso coffee was unreal in an incredible glass to maintain the aroma or something. Definitely recommend a lovely experience!!

    Nice atmosphere but pricey hot dogs with no selection of sausages. We visited this hot dog place with high expectations, hoping for a unique and flavorful experience. While the hot dogs themselves were decent, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the outrageous price tag of 15 euros for a hot dog. One of the key aspects that I believe defines a great hot dog is the variety and quality of sausages. Unfortunately, this place fell short in that department. It was surprising to find out that there was no option to choose the type of sausage for the hot dog. The sausage is the heart of a hot dog, and when a place emphasizes its fanciness and charges a premium, I expected a range of exceptional sausage choices. Comparing this to my experience with simple yet outstanding hot dogs at city food stands in Vienna, which offer a nice selection of sausages like the delightful Käsewurst, all within a reasonable price range of 5-6 euros, makes the difference even more glaring. Another example is Dogs & Tails in Kyiv. They offer a selection of sausages, including chicken, pork, and veggie options, paired with interesting toppings that elevate the overall flavor. The quality and diversity of ingredients at Dogs & Tails far surpass what I encountered here, all while maintaining a much more reasonable price point. I must acknowledge the inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and tasteful décor of this particular hot dog establishment. It's evident that the place is infused with care and passion. However, when the price doesn't align with the quality and selection, it's hard to recommend the experience. The fact that similar and even superior options are available at more sensible prices elsewhere leads me to the conclusion that I won't be returning to this place anytime soon. If the pricing strategy and sausage selection were reconsidered, this place could undoubtedly shine and win over more loyal customers. But for now, the combination of high cost and underwhelming sausage variety makes it difficult to endorse.
