If you would like to experiment a bit with different nations’ cuisines, then this compilation might come in handy. A visit or living in Budapest does not mean that you have to stick with Hungarian cuisine (although it is delicious), so Funzine has collected 12 of the best restaurants where you can taste international meals. Join us for the first round of six.
Russia: Arany Kaviár
Here: Ostrom u. 19, 1015 Budapest
As soon as you step into Arany Kaviár restaurant, you will feel like you’re in the czar-era Russia. The owner, Szása Nyíri, aims to help people get to know Russian cuisine better with the help of a combination of traditions, experimenting with tastes and an energetic atmosphere. There’s a wide range of caviars on their menu, such as sturgeon caviar (the sturgeons were raised at Hungarian fish farms), or Osetra caviar, or a rarity, the sterlet caviar. Apart from caviars, you can taste various Russian dishes and meals prepared from fish, so you will surely find something that is to your taste at Arany Kaviár.
It was even featured as one of the finest restaurants in Budapest by The Culture Trip not long ago.
France: Araz
Here: Dohány u. 42, 1074 Budapest
Araz invites you on an exciting gastronomic journey, spiced with special tastes and extraordinary meals. The chef at Araz is Áron Barka, who is a genius at mixing the specialities and traditions of the French and Hungarian cuisine. The elegant meals were inspired during the time he spent in France when he learnt of techniques and ingredients that have since become essential to modern gastronomy. The dishes at Araz are prepared from fresh ingredients and will enchant both tourists and locals.
China: Wan Hao
Here: Jegenye u. 30, 1107 Budapest
The authentic meals from Guangzhou (or Canton), the Bao and Jiao served in homemade bamboo baskets, the soups and ragús served in clay bowls and wok dishes are just a few of the many delicious culinary wonders served at Wan Hao. The restaurant is in a used-to-be factory building and has become the meeting point for the local Chinese community. You should definitely check out Wan Hao not only for their food but also for
the creative way they’ve renovated the old building mixing retro with Asian mood.
