The place

Hungarikum Bisztró is a small family restaurant two streets from the Parliament. Its idea is to cook the way grandmothers did, without reinventing or decorating the dishes: traditional Hungarian recipes, sometimes saltier or spicier than you are used to, with ingredients from the market. The dining room is narrow, with checked tablecloths, and some evenings there is cimbalom music.

What to order

  • Hortobágy pancake: a pancake filled with stewed meat, with paprika sauce and sour cream.
  • Crispy duck leg with onion potatoes and braised cabbage.
  • Baked sausage with mustard.

Booking

You can only book through its website, and the booking is not valid until they confirm it. Open every day from 12:00 to 14:30 and from 18:00 to 22:00.

What to order: The Hortobágy pancake, filled with meat in paprika sauce and sour cream, and the duck leg with cabbage.
