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.
If you want to try the genuine Hungarian cuisine this is one of the restaurants you should try. It is one of Budapest hidden treasures!

The Bavarian Corner just behind Blaha Lujza square (not far from New York Cafe) is a coasy and relaxed second-class restaurant serving international and German (sturdy dishes, lots of meat and potatoes) dishes at relatively low prices. An excellent choise for meeting with friends and startingpoint for the evening.
Normally we wouldn’t recommend a Bavarian restaurant in Budapest but this little “sörözö” (beerhouse) just happen to have a really good Hungarian plate you shouldnt miss! So if you want to try the Hungarian beers (they have a fair selection of german and international beers to) you definitely should try them with some traditional Hungarian delicacies (the Hungarian plate), which goes very well with the beers.
The Hungarian plate is big enough for two persons (not if they’re really hungry) to sit an chew on over the beer. It includes 4-5 different salamis and kolbász, strong and ordinary paprika, tomatoes, some cheese and bread. The plate is spicy, fresh and delicious! Hungarian delicacies at its best!

Mandarin bar & restaurant on ó utca in the center of the town (not far behind the Budapest State Opera) is another great example of the new, innovative and superb Hungarian cuisine. Their international and Hungarian dishes like “Rosemary duck in mandarin sauce with steamed cabbage” and “Fillet steak in brandy and pepper sauce with homemade croquettes” are among the best served in Budapest. The menu also offers descent Hungarian wines, good cocktails and drinks.
The restaurant itself is very stylish with a friendly atmosphere. It is probably among the smallest restaurants in Budapest (there are only 5-6 tables in the restaurant part, the bar facing the street have more space tough) but at Mandarin bar and restaurant size definitely doesn’t mather. The great food and atmosphere, low prices, good service and the short distance to other bars, lounges, cafes and nightclubs makes Mandarin an excellent choice for:
- a nice (romantic) dinner,
- dinner with friends or
- as a starting point for a party night
Example from their menu:
Start with a green Salad with Smoked Salmon in a Creamy Horseradish Sauce, try the Chili-Honey Chicken and pita with Grilled Vegetables for main course and finish with the Chocolate Fondant.
Mandarin represents the new creative Hungarian cuisine at its best. Be sure not to miss this superb little restaurant in downtown Budapest.

Csalogany (seductive) 26 on the Budaside is a relatively new restaurant with innovative and excellent international and Hungarian cuisines at affordable prices. The menu have a god selection of interesting and imaginative dishes with a broad price-range. Their wine-list is also very good with high-quality Hungarian wines by the glass. The staff is very helpful, professional and are very knowledgeable about the Hungarian wine culture.
On our visit we had the Mangalica with confit and a roast Lamb with polenta for main courses and a bottle of Weninger Pinot Noir that was a superb match for the dishes. Both dishes were really juicy and delicious. For dessert we had the Krem Karamell, a small taste of heaven! This was by far the best Krem Karamell we have ever tasted, be sure not to miss it if you drop by!
On our visit to Csalogany 26 we had:
1 Mineral-water = 600 ft
1 Espresso= 350 ft
1 Weninger Pinot Noir = 5000 ftg
1 Mangalica with confit = 2500 ft
1 Roast Lamb with Polenta = 2500
1 Krem Karamell =600
Total: 11550 ft = 45 Euro for two persons.
Csaloganys great kitchen, the friendly staff and the relatively low prices (considering the quality of the dishes) makes this Hungarian restaurant an excellent choice for a romantic dinner or just to enjoy a superb dinner in Budapest.
