If culture and cuisine go hand in hand, check out the café and self-service restaurant at the Museum of Fine Arts (Szépművészeti Múzeum)—where contemporary cooking and Hungarian tradition come together.
Anonymous Bar & More (Anonymus Bar & More), nestled beside Vajdahunyad Castle (Vajdahunyad vára) in City Park (Városliget), offers everything from artisan cheeses and Hungarian burgers to classic sausages and specialty coffees.
Classic Hungarian cuisine seekers shouldn’t miss Goldfish Restaurant (Aranyhal Étterem), famous for fish dishes such as fisherman’s soup and sizzling catfish fillets, or Owl’s Castle (Bagolyvár), which channels the atmosphere of your grandmother’s Sunday dinners.
Modern Italian lovers head to Bocanova Pizzeria (Bocanova Pizzéria) for authentic pizzas, Sicilian fish soups, and risottos crafted with top-notch ingredients in a friendly setting. Stop by a trendy bakery for sourdough bread, gourmet sandwiches, and specialty coffee in a relaxed garden environment. Or kick back with cakes and cocktails amid the greenery at BalloonBar.
