The best restaurants in Budapest to try traditional Hungarians dishes
Change language:
Hungarians like to say and believe that the Hungarian cuisine is world-famous. Its uniqueness is undoubted, and we sure like to talk about it with pride. Trying out traditional Hungarian dishes is strongly recommended, this is why funzine.hu collected six restaurants where you can’t go wrong with the selection.
Magyar QTR
You can find an exceptional restaurant along the Pest quay: Magyar QTR welcomes guests with Hungarian dishes, the wines of local producers, a wide selection of pálinka and a beautiful panorama of the Gellért Mountain. The restaurant went through significant changes two years ago: besides a complete renovation, its name was changed from Gepárd & Űrhajó Bolyki Wine Bistro. Even though the atmosphere has changed, the quality of the meals and the kindness of the staff stayed the same.
Terv Presszó
The place loved by both locals and tourists can be found a few corners away from Deák Ferenc Square. The restaurant found in the heart of the city looks back on a long history. It was opened in 1954 and it instantly became the meeting point of local artists. Its attractiveness hasn’t decreased, in fact, it has found new admirers thanks to tourists interested in Hungarian flavours. Visit Terv Presszó (Plan Presso) and enjoy the retro atmosphere while eating a divine goulash, chicken paprikash or stew.
Lángos Papa
The Hungarian cuisine is known for its diversity even overseas: while most tourists are averse from our juicy stuffed cabbage and fatty stews, there’s one curiosity that no foreigner can say no to. It is lángos, which is made perfectly in Lángos Papa found on Andrássy Avenue. The crust is crunchy, while the toppings are rich in flavour. Perfect combo!
