Restaurant Gazela

Gazela is a local legend, a must-visit pilgrimage site for tourists, famous for its iconic Cachorrinhos (a unique Portuguese-style hot dog) and its never-ending, cheerful atmosphere.

The concept here is simple and direct: to offer fast, delicious, and satisfying Portuguese snacks and ice-cold beer at affordable prices. This is why it's always packed—from local workers to curious tourists—all crowding around the counter or the small tables.

The glory of the kitchen belongs entirely to the legendary "Cachorrinhos da Batalha". This is no ordinary hot dog: it's a special bread filled with sausage and melted cheese, expertly grilled to achieve a crispy exterior and a rich, juicy interior. Paired with a cold draft beer, it's the perfect combination. Other reliable options on the menu include the Philly cheesesteak and grilled sausages.

At Gazela, the experience of speaking with the staff at the counter is as good as the puppies; it was the first place where I felt at home here in Porto.

I would absolutely recommend sitting on the balcony at the old Gazelle Café, having a hot dog and a beer to start the day
