Change language:
If you are familiar with the culinary scene in Budapest, you might have noticed that there are always new restaurants and bars popping up all across Budapest. Funzine.hu has collected some of the best new places to try, so if you happen to be at a crossroads, trying to decide where to go to, this list might be helpful.
Beefbar Budapest
Here: 1013 Budapest, Clark Ádám tér 1.
Who does not love steak? Who would not enjoy a view that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Who would not like to feel like they are in the roaring twenties in a classy restaurant? Well, if you feel like all these descriptions apply to you, then we recommend Beefbar Budapest on the floor level of the freshly opened Hotel Clark. Goulash soup, loin and all other nation’s most special meals are on the menu, although a full-course lunch menu costs around 5500 forints (EUR 17).
A-Pecsenyés
Here: 1051 Budapest, Sas utca 25.
We have written previously about the best street food restaurant in Budapest, but A-Pecsenyés specialises in Hungarian cuisine, focusing on meats. You will find different variations of stew, sausages, soups, grilled- and fried meats for a reasonable price. What better way to dive deep into Hungarian culture than visiting the Saint Stephen Basilica and grab a Hungarian bite?
Rocky’s Budapest
Here: 1075 Budapest, Kazinczy utca 52/A
Some people say that Vintage Garden is especially for women with its lovely pastel atmosphere and setting. Well, if there is a café for women, then why should not there be a pub for men? Rocky’s Budapest is just the place for those nights when you are headed out for a ‘boys’ night out’. Funzine describes it as a
man-cave, where sports relics and motivational quotes will help you feel like a champion and unstoppable to start that freelance project you have been meaning to get down to for months now.
There is a wide range of beers, including Hungarian craft beers, with which you can wash down the hamburger specialities.
Holló és Róka
Here: 1092 Budapest, Ráday utca 23.
Holló és Róka (lit. transl. ‘crow and fox’), the Hungarian capital’s first raclette bar, is perfect for cheese lovers, specialising in, well, raclette. You will find this cheese speciality in numerous forms, but the best is the grilled raclette with potatoes, pickling onions, pickles, ham and leavened bread. This place is truly for those looking for a Mediterranean culinary adventure, as Holló és Róka offers an endless range of tapas, BBQ ribs with orange, Mediterranean plate or lobster-tail prepared with garlic. If you wish to continue your journey, you can head back to Hungary with a Hungarian wine, or go further with South-African imported wine.
