There are so many opportunities in the capital when it comes to food and beverages. With the coming winter season, however, people feel more like sitting in a restaurant and warming themselves up in a very cozy place. Funzine.hu collected the 8 must-visit places in Budapest that will surely make you return once you have tasted the atmosphere. Let’s check them out.

1. MiniZso – 1015 Budapest, 7 Hattyú Street

MiniZso is one of the most trustworthy breakfast place in Buda that is the sister of the KicsiZso restaurant. The 2nd enterprise of Zsolt Horváth is situated at the foot of the Castle District. It offers simple delicacies from the various sandwiches through the cakes to the special soups.

In the tiny place, innumerable sweets can be tasted like the fig-flavoured focaccia and the special pie with chocolate and pumpkin filling.

Creativity and Hungarian hospitality compensate for the lack of space in the tiny restaurant.

2. Bakelit Café – 1074 Budapest, 3 Dohány Street

Opposite to the largest synagogue of Europe is the Bakelit Café, in the city center. Even the entrance is decorated with a number of vinyl records that make us guess that music is a central thing in the restaurant.

Billiard, table football, good background music and genuine Hungarian retro feeling welcome the visitors at the café that is open every day.

It is worth tasting the cocktails, the spirits and the wines in the restaurant, and then it is guaranteed that your night will go well.

3. Sawasdee Thai Restaurant – 1052 Budapest, 2 Semmelweis Street

Sadly enough, there are not enough authentic Thai restaurants in Budapest.

However, this catering establishment, which got its name after the most commonly used Thai word for greetings and farewells, brings some colour into the gastronomical life of the capital.

Visitors can try out the most popular dishes of the Thai cuisine including seafood, spicy curry, phad thai or the various soups. They pay attention not only to the flavour of the dishes, but also to the tempting outlook. On weekdays, a two-course meal with a drink costs 2,500 Ft (8.3 euros).
