Bélszínszelet
The views from this
traditional restaurant on the
slopes of Gellért Hill are out-
standing. However, the food is
average, and the Gypsy band that
shuttles from table to table can
either be a nuisance or a delight
depending on your mood.

Alabárdos Étterem
If you're looking for Hungarian
food as it used to be cooked, this
is the only place to come. From
the goose liver terrine to the deli-
cious chicken paprika with curd
strudel, everything on the menu
is authentic. Prices are high, but
worth every forint.

Töltött Paprika

Kisbuda Gyöngye Étterem
A unique restaurant where
the service can be terrible and the
decor so cluttered that you trip on
the way to your table, but the
food is tremendous and the ambi-
ence outrageously
ancien regime.
Gourmets and foodies love it, as
it has a chef who genuinely cares
about what he's serving.
