This snack-bar has been improving the art of making cachorrinhos for more than 50 years. Fine and crispy bread, sausages of great quality, and cheese melted to embrace them. Everything brushed with butter and spicy sauce. Customers? Many. On a normal day 300 of these are served, usually accompanied by one or two cold beers.
Everyone knows Porto's classic dishes (we're looking at you, francesinha), but only one can truly rival the famous sandwich. That's the cachorrinho, a kind of Portuguese hot dog. And if you've never tried one, you have no idea what you're missing.
In porto, the humble cachorrinho is the afternoon snack for a beer with your pals. It comes in thin crusty bread, is stuffed with fresh sausage (sometimes alheira), and brushed with a spicy sauce. There are lots of them in the city, but only some places do them really, really well. Here are the best cachorrinhos in Porto
