Hot Dog da Augusta

It's a nice option for hot dog, but the potatoes have so much salt.

Inexpensive, full of flavor, friendly, fast, and a 1950's style that make this a great place to eat and hang out. All sauces are vegan, as are the mashed potatoes, and the fries are baked perfectly with a touch of paprika. The vegan options are growing and new locations appear to be coming soon.

Silly to limit non-vegan restaurants to 4 stars, as they deserve 5.

Being used to the traditional Danish hot dog stand that has about three or four different varieties of hot dog, the menu here astounded and impressed me. There were at least 20 different types of hot dogs, of which (I think) four or five were fully vegan and another three or four were vegetarian.

I had the ‘Picante’ (vegetarian) as a combo menu, which included a hot dog, a side of chips (fries, but not fries, since they’re oven-baked—which, to me, just makes them all the more delicious), and a surprisingly large freshly-squeezed orange juice (650 ml or so, I would guess).

You choose between traditional hot dog bread and a ciabatta—I chose the ciabatta. The Picante has a ‘soysage’, some kind of tomato-based sauce, crispy onions, avocado (extra), some kind of little red thingies that I first thought were tiny cherry tomatoes (but which I think were actually a kind of mild pepper), and probably one or two more things. It was absolutely delicious.

The serving was completely adequate to serve as a whole meal (which it did). I did not leave feeling hungry in the slightest. The total came to R$ 21 or R$ 22 (about US$ 5–5.50), which seemed more than reasonable, if perhaps not quite at actual street-food level. (To be fair, this *isn’t* a street-food stand, but an actual property with tables to sit at.)

The lady behind the counter was very sweet and nice to me, and she didn’t seem to mind at all that I showed up for, erm, dinner at 10:53 p.m., seven minutes before they close.

I highly recommend this place, and I would give it five stars if the rating system didn’t limit vegetarian-friendly restaurants to four.

Um local bonito, bem decorado. As opções para veganos são boas.

Been here many times now. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, all clearly marked (though the fries aren't marked, they're vegan). All mayos are vegan, the French bread is too. The staff are really switched on about what's vegan and what's vegetarian. The vegan currywurst with French bread is divine.
