Kacsa

Vörös és Fehér
Kacsa means “duck” in
Hungarian, so it's easy to guess
what dominates the menu here.
Duck is served in many inventive
guises, created by a brilliant chef.
There is more than duck on offer,
however, and the wine list is sim-
ply superb.

This restaurant is so popular
that it's almost impossible to get
in without a reservation. It was
founded by Budapest's wine soci-
ety and has an excellent wine list.
The international menu often
steals the show from the wine.

are as luxurious as the Vadrózsa,
