La SPOT Launches Limited-Edition ‘Spicy Sister’ Octopus Hot Dog – A Fiery Addition to a London Legend
Limited-Edition Delight Available For Two Weeks Only
La SPOT’s limited-edition ‘Spicy Sister’ Octopus Hot Dog, featuring a smoky Pimentón de la Vera marinade, is a fiery twist on their viral hit, available for just two weeks in September 2025.
London’s culinary scene has a new star, and it’s hotter than ever. La SPOT, the Charlotte Street hotspot famed for its buttery brioche creations, is raising the bar with its latest limited-edition offering: the ‘Spicy Sister’ Octopus Hot Dog. Available for just two weeks, from 15th to 30th September 2025, this fiery twist on the viral original is set to become the must-try dish of the season.
The original Octopus Hot Dog, launched earlier this year, quickly ascended to cult status. Featuring a slow-cooked octopus tentacle nestled in golden brioche with onion marmalade, Makoto cheese, crispy potato julienne, and a dusting of paprika, it became an overnight sensation. The dish has been immortalized in over half a million organic social media views, devoured by influencers, foodies, and celebrities alike, and sold out every single day since its debut. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s one of London’s most photographed dishes.
La SPOT blends European tapas flair with buttery brioche, creating a vibrant, shareable dining experience that’s both Instagram-worthy and deeply satisfying.
But fans asked for more – spice, drama, a sequel – and La SPOT listened. The ‘Spicy Sister’ Octopus Hot Dog (£17) swaps the paprika for a bold, smoky Pimentón de la Vera marinade, delivering a deeper, more intense heat. The star of the show – the tender, slow-cooked octopus tentacle – remains nestled in the signature pillowy-soft brioche, accompanied by the beloved onion marmalade, molten Makoto cheese, and crispy potatoes. It’s the same visual masterpiece, now with a fiery kick that lingers.
This limited-edition creation is available in extremely limited quantities – no pre-orders, no second chances. It’s first come, first served, and once it’s gone for the day, it’s gone.
“The Octopus Hot Dog has become a bit of a London legend in just a few months,” says Iryna Zast, co-founder of La SPOT. “We wanted to reward our regulars and spice lovers with something new – but we also wanted to make it special. This is a two-week-only moment. If you miss it, you miss it.”
La SPOT: Soho’s Newest Dining Destination
Nestled on Charlotte Street, La SPOT has quickly become Soho’s freshest culinary arrival. An independent neighbourhood gem, it’s a celebration of sharing, socializing, and bold flavours. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of European tapas bars and a love of buttery brioche, the restaurant offers a refined yet approachable menu that’s captured the hearts (and cameras) of London diners.
Founded by a husband-and-wife team and their close friend, La SPOT blends Ukrainian and Spanish influences to create a space where food fosters connection. Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or a relaxed weekend brunch, the restaurant invites guests to slow down, connect, and explore rich flavours without the typical Soho price tag.
At the heart of the menu is brioche – rich, buttery, and versatile – serving as the base for an imaginative lineup of dishes. Alongside the iconic Octopus Hot Dog are crowd-pleasers like the Oxtail and Cheddar, Red Prawns, and a veggie/vegan option packed with sautéed vegetables, garlic, green apple, and cheese (goat or vegan). Each dish is generously filled, deeply satisfying, and designed to be shared.
The menu extends beyond brioche, offering vibrant small plates inspired by French and Spanish tapas culture. Highlights include Croquettes de jamón, Patatas Cheddar with jamón, and perfectly grilled Ribeye and Pluma Ibérico steaks. As evening falls, La SPOT transitions into an intimate dining experience, with dimmed lights, a cosy Wine SPOT downstairs, and mini brioche sliders for sampling more of the menu.
Weekend brunch is a highlight, with brioche toasts piled high with scrambled eggs, red prawns, truffle oil, or spicy chorizo. Accompanied by Spanish tortillas, roasted veg, and churros with black and white chocolate dips, it’s a feast worth waking up for.
Seasonal specials, served in limited quantities, further showcase La SPOT’s commitment to local produce and culinary creativity.
Don’t miss your chance to taste the ‘Spicy Sister’ Octopus Hot Dog – a fiery, fleeting moment that’s set to sizzle. But act fast: once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
