Budapest

A cozy, foodie guide to Budapest

Budapest, Hungary

My Favorite Places in Budapest

Hungarian cuisine is said to be one of the spiciest in Europe, perhaps because we use a lot of paprika, black pepper and other spices. Majority of the dishes are based on meat, carbs and seasonal vegetables & fruits.

The list of dishes to try can be rather long, especially if the recommendation comes from a Hungarian. 🙂

Below you will find a highlight and a culinary map, which will hopefully help you decide where to eat in Budapest.
