Limassol

The restaurant Street Dogs in Limassol is a small, no-nonsense spot for burgers and hot dogs, with a reputation that is much bigger than the room itself. Reviews are unusually enthusiastic for such a casual place, often praising the owner, the fresh ingredients and the made-to-order feel.

The menu Hot dogs and burgers are the reason to visit. The Blue Dog, Aussie Dog, Philly-style options, cheeseburgers, fries and custom toppings get the most attention. Reviewers like the juicy sausages, soft buns, fresh vegetables and bold sauces. The only real caveat is that this is a small street-food place, so seating is limited and it may not be instant fast food.

The menu The most praised dishes are the pork chop, salmon, fish dishes, wraps, steak sandwich and rich desserts.
