- Precio: €

A Hungarian eating house on Király utca since 1997: stews, vegetable pottages and roasts at neighbourhood prices, Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 22:00.

What it is
Frici Papa is a kifőzde, the age-old Hungarian eating house: home cooking that recalls grandmothers' kitchens, a menu that changes every day and low prices. It opened in spring 1997 on Király utca, in the middle of the Jewish Quarter and the ruin-bar district, and the idea is still the same: eat well and cheaply with the comfort of a restaurant.
What to order
The menu of the day mixes grilled dishes, főzelék (thick vegetable pottages, of peas, lentils or potato, with an egg or a sausage on top), roasts and homemade sweets. It is the place to try what is eaten every day in Budapest, not what is served to tourists.
When to go
Open Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 22:00 and closed on Sunday. At midday it fills up with local people; in the evening it is quieter. You can eat in or order to take away.

Qué pedir: Order the set menu of the day and a főzelék, the thick vegetable pottage that is Hungary's everyday dish.

A tener en cuenta: No reservations; closed on Sunday.
