“Kaartin Hodari & Hummeri” is not actually restaurant, but as it serves mainly gourmet hot-dogs, it deserves to be reviewed. Direct translation for the name of the restaurant is “Hot dog & Lobster in Kaarti”.
Restaurant is owned by same chef’s and sommelier’s as Muru and Pastis. Hodari & Hummeri is located next to Pastis, which is in a way convenient.
Dining room is tiny, only 5 small tables. One option is to eat by window but the you have to sit on pillows.
You can not reserve table which is understandable.
Because of the name of the restaurant, had to order Shrimp & Lobster version of 7 alternative hot dogs.
Also tried French fries with salt although you could flavor the with truffle, parmesan, chili or herb-garlic.
And glass of pinot noir red wine pairs nicely with this stuff due to softer taste of grape.
Hot dog was fresh and tasty. It included of course sausage which first suprised me. Had to ask, if this really is shrimp and lobster version. Kind of was waiting to see visible pieces of lobster, like in the logo. Think I chewed one piece of lobster. Anyway with tomato, onion and other stuff inside the the roll made this hod dog really enjoyable.
Hot dog was delicious, but overpriced compared to amount of lobster it included. Would you pay 20€ for hot dog? All other versions are under 10€, which makes more sense. Otherwise FOOD grade would have been higher.
Because you have to place the order at bar counter, service is not reviewed.
Overall grade is high because business idea is unique. If you like hot dogs, Kaartin Hodari & Hummeri is worth to try.
REVIEW: FOOD 4-/5 – SERVICE x/5 – OVERALL GRADE 4,5/5
