Best hot dogs in Prague

Did you know? Hot dogs have their roots in Germany, arriving in the United States with immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The long, thin sausages were called "Dachshund sausages" (referring to the dog breed). Legend has it that the name "hot dog" originated from a cartoonist who, unable to spell the German word, coined the simpler term while drawing a vendor selling sausages at a baseball game. Another theory suggests the name might reference the lower-quality meat often used in sausages at the time. As for who first thought of putting a sausage in bread, that’s still up for debate!

The Street Burgers & Cocktails Bar

Address: Konviktská 261, Prague 1
Website: thestreet.cz

The Street is famous for its burgers, but we keep coming back for one of the best hot dogs in Prague. Featuring sausages from a local family-run butcher, generous portions, fries included, and stylish surroundings, there’s little to fault here –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ except that they don’t accept cards, so bring cash. While their other location on Bělehradská focuses on burgers, hot dogs are exclusive to this spot.


Station Anděl

Address: Lidická 798/19, Prague 5
Website: stationandel.cz

A relatively new addition to Prague’s food scene, Station Anděl has already earned its place on our list of the best hot dogs in Prague. Their creative combinations might surprise you –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ think sausage, goat cheese, fig mustard, and caramelized nuts –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ but the flavors work beautifully. If you prefer a more classic approach, they’ve got you covered too. Bonus: they also serve poutine, the Canadian comfort food staple.

Eaternia

Address: Nádražní 3, Prague 5
Website: eterniasmichov.com

Think hot dogs and veganism don’t mix? Think again! At Eaternia, they replace the sausage with seitan, and the result is just as satisfying. The relaxed atmosphere might remind you of a school canteen, but the food is worth it. And if hot dogs aren’t your thing, their vegan burgers and even svíčková are equally fantastic.

BASAK HOTDOG (Korean Street Food & Corndog)

Address: Kostečná 121/3 & Národní 340/21, Prague 1

A unique gem on Prague’s food scene, Basak introduces Korean street food with a focus on corndogs. Crispy on the outside, with a choice of sausage or gooey cheese inside, these treats are a delightful departure from the traditional hot dog.

Párek v rohlíku - Ladislav Červený

Address: Náměstí Míru, Prague 2

Food from street stands isn’t always worth it, but Ladislav Červený’s kiosk is an exception. This Prague institution serves a simple yet unbeatable Czech párek v rohlíku (sausage in a bun). It might not technically be a hot dog, but it’s so good we had to include it. Just be warned: it often sells out before closing time!
 

EXTRA TIP: One of Prague’s top hot dog spots used to be Dogfather in Dejvice. While the restaurant has closed, you can still find their food truck at local markets and festivals—don’t miss it if you spot them!

So, which hot dog in Prague will you try first?
