After making their mark in Campo de Ourique, Cais do Sodré, and Saldanha, Street Smash Burgers ventured beyond Lisbon for the first time at the start of 2025. The brand’s newest spot, less than a year after it all began, is in Carcavelos. It’s their biggest restaurant yet, with seating for 28.
"It was an organic decision. We have loads of customers who used to travel all the way from Carcavelos to our shops in central Lisbon, urging us to open a Street spot in their area", explains founder Carlos Conde to Time Out. The idea to dive into the smash burger scene came to him after a trip to Australia.
"We think it makes perfect sense, with a young demographic of students, surfers, and plenty of families. We also believed we could introduce a high-quality smash burger offering and fill a gap in the market. We found a fantastic spot in Praça do Junqueiro, and so far, it’s proving to be the right move. The response has been amazing", adds Carlos.
The menu is exactly the same as in their other locations. The Street Burger (€9.90) comes with 180 grams of beef (free from preservatives and artificial ingredients), American cheese, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. You can add extra beef (+€3.50), cheese (+€1.50), or opt for a gluten-free bun (+€2.50). Don’t miss out on their signature sauces – Mayo Siracha and BBQ Smokey – available for an extra €1.
There’s also a veggie burger (€12.90), and from time to time, the brand rolls out special limited-edition creations. Right now, they’re offering a bacon and cheese smash burger. You can pair your meal with regular fries (€3), sweet fries (€3), or fries with truffle sauce and grated parmesan (€6.50). For €13.90, the Street Combo includes a Street Burger, fries, and a drink. Soon, the brand will be launching new drinks and desserts, with a special focus on their own beer.
With an entirely open kitchen where you can watch the burgers being made, the new spot in Carcavelos sticks to the same industrial aesthetic, featuring a stainless steel counter and smooth grey walls.
Speaking to Time Out, Carlos Conde reveals that Street Smash Burgers should be arriving in the centre of Cascais "in the coming months". "Expanding beyond central Lisbon has always been our goal, and Cascais was always the obvious next step for us. We’re really eager to build a loyal following in the Cascais municipality", he says.
