Pressed Porto hot dog: a thin sausage in crisp bread, slathered with butter, spice and cheese, then griddled flat in an iron press. Eaten standing at Cervejaria Gazela.
Cervejaria Gazela on Travessa de Cimo de Vila opened in 1962 just off Praca da Batalha, building its name on the cachorrinho. The dish, a small Portuguese take on the hot dog, is pressed in a heavy iron press with butter and spice until the bread is crisp on the outside and the sausage and cheese melt together inside. Anthony Bourdain filmed Parts Unknown here in 2017.
