The Pozsonyi Kisvendéglö (restaurant) is a very simple but charming little local restaurant near Westend Shopping center. It is often crowded by families and students since they serve large portions and have very modest prices.
Pozsony serve typical Hungarian dishes, mostly meat, like Cigany pecsenye (veal with garlic with bacon served with pommes) and paprikas csirke (paprika chicken with gnocci). Dont forget to try one of the delicious soups like the creamy mushroom soup or the cold cherry soup.

The spicy hot flavors of Hungary is one of the great experiences awaiting you when visiting Budapest. One of these flavors you should try is the delicious langos.
The langos is simply a round and flat bread-puff (made of, often potato-based, dough) deep-fried in oil and garnished with different tasty toppings like cabbage, ham, mushroom.
This simple Hungarian dish is as good as it is simple, unforgettable.
The classic langos
If you want to try the classic langos you should top it with:
- fresh garlic or garlic sauce
- sour cream and shredded cheese
- shredded cabbage.
Langos used to be one of the most common fast-food dishes in Hungary before the 90:es before all the American fastfood chains invaded Budapest. Now-days you can mostly find it at the markets in Budapest.
The langos isn’t exactly diet food but its a real treat and a classic Hungarian speciality that goes way back in Hungarian history. And while your at it, grab a beer to wash it down with. You wont regret it!
