Probably the best cachorrinho in Porto (I’ve tried a few). Consistently delicious food with a great selection of beers too. I can’t say I’ve tried the full menu since the cachorrinho—a flavourful variation on a hot dog—never lets me down. The restaurant has recently been renovated too so there’s plenty of seating but with the same laid-back atmosphere and friendly service. A favourite of mine away from the touristic side of town.

Just loved this place, if you in the area you need to try their Cachorrinho, "hotdog" with a twist. Highly recommended. Friendly service and the perfect place for a quick tasty bite.

This cachorrinho is absolutely delicious! The sausage is savory and meaty, and the cheese adds the perfect amount of creaminess. It’s crispy on the outside and warm on the inside - it’s hard to go wrong with this place!

Personally I believe its the best cachorrinho! Nice flavours, big sausages inside, bread crispy but not too much. Fair prices Fast service and nice staff The prego was also great, the one with onions with honey and brie cheese. It is incredible. The mousse dessert was a biiit too sweet for me personally. Overall it is a great deal

For me, the best cachorrinho in Porto. And the best prego in the world. Beer in the right temperature. Gentle and efficient staff.

Best place for grabbing Portuguese style fast food with fresh tap local beer. I have been to the place for a few times and I will definitely come back since it fits my needs. Picapau, cachorrinho and portuguese stuffed breads are delicious to my tongue. Love the place!
