Eating Out in Budapest

Edit This
i_2
Budapest offers the hungry traveller a wide choice of eateries, from the inevitable MacDonalds to high cuisine. Hungarian food itself is certainly worth a try. Best known of the exellent meat dishes you can have is perhaps gulash, but there is a lot more to Hungarian cuisine. They have some particularly tasty game dishes, like Almával töltött fácán (Pheasant stuffed with apples)or Szarvastokány erdei gombával (Venison stew with wild mushrooms), and the sweet water fish is not to be sneezed at.

In most restaurants, menus will be available in English and German. Major credit cards will be accepted in many establishments. But do check beforehand if you don't want to get a nasty shock.

Fausto's

Edit This

Although the kitsch Venetian decor isn't to everyone's liking, Fausto's is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in town. Expensive but unpretentious, it's frequented by the type of people 'who live to eat', rather than 'eat to live'.

Gundel

Edit This

Gundel is without doubt the city's finest restaurant. Although a meal in Gundels turn-of-the-century atmosphere costs around 12, 000 HUF per head, the cost is borne out by the fact that both the Prince of Wales and Queen Elizabeth II have dined here.
