Bringing gourmet sausages – a Western hit – to Hong Kong, local sausage specialist Brat serves sausages made with highest quality meat and rid of chemicals or added fat. All handmade with a choice of fifteen flavours (including two vegetarian options) and divided into three categories – pork, beef and chicken – such as Portobello mushroom and porcinis, chorizo and garlic, habanero, bourbon whisky, and one added with artichoke hearts.

Hot dog is the star offering of Brat, with the option of extensive additional ingredients like sauerkraut, mustard, gherkin sauce, caramelized onion, jalapeno chili and preserved cucumber, served with fries made-to-order. Brat also suggests alcoholic drinks to accompany hot dogs, and imports numerous Belgian beers that are rarely seen in Hong Kong. Each beer is served in a separate style of beer glass. As alternatives to hot dog, there are also chef’s pasta with daily gourmet sausages, all day breakfast and sausage sampler.

Brat has set up a pop up restaurant in The Landmark, Central, running until August, offering the six flavours as well as a new taste chipotle. Replacing fries with chips, providing customers with new option.
