Dining Out: Restaurants and Cafes
Budapest is full of eating places for all tastes, from chic restaurants to small eateries. In this section we give a selection of restaurants and cafes, including their cuisine and specialties, and also provide our comments on some places.
Please note that many restaurants (mostly those of first category) are closed in the daytime and open at 6-7 p.m. only to serve dinner.
Most restaurants usually stop serving food an hour before closing and do not serve it one hour or so after they are open.
Tip sometimes is included in the bill, so check the bill please before paying.
Bon appetit!
Located in a small, early nineteenth-century building, Le Jardin de Paris is a cosy cellar thoughtfully decorated with the posters, lithographs and pictures. It has a feel of '70s-style French bistro and offers a variety of French specialties, including some game dishes and excellent desserts. Its wine list is French too, with some eclectic touches.
Indian cuisine with extensive selection of Tandooris, breads and other specialties. Real Indian spices, smell and taste, good choice of vegetarian dishes. Large non-smoking area. Waiters are fast and speak English, prices are really attractive – a meal for two is from 2 500 forints. Dessert section of the menu, however, leaves much to be desired. They also deliver.

This new addition to kert (open-air bars) family is a huge terrace with a spectacular view of the Danube, Margit Island, and the pool that offers good service, nice food at reasonable prices and music by a DJ.
Relaxing and energizing atmosphere. Remember to visit the toilet to see its extraordinary keeper.
II. Árpád fejedelem útja 8. (terrace on the top of Császár-Komjádi pool)
We call it a cultural place. It is neat and clean with smiling waiters and free WIFI. The crowd is mostly educated students, their professors, and foreigners. Live concerts, inexpensive and tasty food.
