Best Restaurants in Budapest

The cuisine in Hungary is known around the world and plays a major role in the Hungarian culture. From roadside eateries to stylish gourmet restaurants, the dining options in Budapest are endless and food from almost all nationalities can be found. Hungarian cuisine is something to enjoy though, and visitors should indulge on goulash, soups, desserts, (stuffed pancakes), trout, dumplings, strudels and the iconic and decadent Dobos Cake, a five-layer sponge cake layered with butter cream and topped with caramel slices. Hungarian cuisine is known for using lots of spices, such as paprika and hot chillies, and is arguably some of the spiciest cuisine in Europe. The inner city and Central Pest are the main areas for dining out in Budapest, while Central Buda also boasts some great eateries.
