Budapest Burger

Belfrit introduced its newest addition to their menu, the Budapest Burger, made with 100% Hungarian ingredients. The restaurant describes this fresh item as “just like Budapest; it is Hungarian through and through.”

The burger is made with Mangalica patty, and it is topped with goose liver and onion jam. This one meal combines three authentic pieces of the Hungarian gastronomy.

Special Ingredients

Both Mangalica and goose liver are authentic Hungarian ingredients. In fact, we love them so much, that there is an annual Mangalica Festival and a Goose Liver Festival held in Budapest. The Mangalica is a Hungarian breed of domestic pig developed in the mid-19th century by crossbreeding different Hungarian breeds. Currently, there are three existing types of Mangalica: the “blonde”, the “swallow-bellied”, and the “red” one. Hungarians are quite skilful when it comes to processing meat. Therefore, we have Mangalica sausages, salami, grease, and many other ways of consuming this particular meat. On the other hand, Hungarians love their goose liver mainly in the form of a terrine or pâté as an appetizer. It is prepared similarly to the famous foie gras but it is a bit different.
