Budavári Fortuna Mátyás
You'll need a string of
superlatives to describe the duck
dishes at this outstanding Buda
restaurant. Service is ostentatious,
with dishes whipped out from
under tall silver domes
(see p52)
.

Rivalda
Locals lock to this beer bar
to sit at one of the long tables and
drink, eat and be merry. The food
is unfussy but nobody complains.

Csalogány 26

jazz pianist soothes the soul on
most evenings

worth every forint
(see p53)

Le Jardin
Trout has never tasted so
good as at this great river-ish
