This place - and not the pastry shop next door - is where to head for Pest's best ice cream
(190Ft per scoop), as you'll be able to deduce from the queues. In winter, let them eat cakes

HUNGARIAN
PESTI DISZNÓ
11am-midnight Sun-Wed, to 1am Thu-Sat; M1 Oktogon)
Punters would be forgiven for thinking that the `Pest Pig' was all about pork. In fact, of the
dozen main courses half are poultry, fish or vegetarian. It's a wonderful space, loft-like al-
most, with high tables and charming, informed service. The wine card is very, very good
and most wines are available by the glass, too.

A little bit pricey for what and where it is, but

A family-run
bouchon
(small restaurant) with an Art Nouveau-style interior, this place serves provincial French
food stirred with a little Hungarian inspiration and the occasional Italian stray (eg osso
bucco) making an appearance. Warm welcome.
