The Street Smash Story

Born in Lisbon loved worldwide

Street Smash Burgers was founded in Lisbon when Carlos and Bea transformed their passion for smash burgers into a small shop in Campo de Ourique. What began as a neighborhood project has grown into the most recognized smash burger brand in Portugal. Built through dedication, learning, and the support of a loyal community, Street Smash has evolved from a restaurant into a trusted brand. Today, we serve thousands of customers every month in Lisbon, Porto, Zurich, and Milan.

At Street Smash Burgers, success comes from creating something authentic, sustainable, and built to last. Our mission is to redefine the burger experience by focusing on quality, simplicity, and unforgettable flavor. Transparency is at the core of everything we do: with open kitchens in every restaurant, we invite people to see our day to day operations and how their food is carefully prepared. We believe progress means growing with purpose, pushing boundaries, adapting thoughtfully, and keeping the passion alive. Our vision is to become a trusted, international brand that people recognize, love, and rely on, while staying true to what makes us unique.

Why Street Smash?

We are redefining the burger experience with premium beef, smashed on the grill for a crispy, caramelized crust and a juicy interior. Each burger is paired with the highest quality ingredients, soft brioche buns, and our signature sauces. Transparency is at the heart of what we do: our kitchens are open in every restaurant, so guests can see the entire cooking process. Our spaces are designed with simplicity and elegance, creating room for the food to shine while showcasing beautiful architecture. Beyond our restaurants, we bring the full Street experience to life through events, food trucks, and private catering for festivals, weddings, and parties.
