What dishes to try in Hungary. What to try in Budapest? Food, drink and establishments Popular Hungarian dishes
About the indicated prices: at the time of writing this post for 1 euro they give about 310 Hungarian forints (Ft)
1. Goulash. If you are in Budapest, then you must eat Hungarian goulash. There is nothing special about it, and everyone knows it very well (especially those who were in the Ukrainian Carpathians and ate goulash and bograch there). But we have to. Because without the goulash ritually eaten in Budapest, the rest of the meal does not count, and you will be haunted by a painful feeling of incompleteness.
Moreover, goulash is delicious, so what :) There is also such a thing as pörkölt - similar to goulash, but much thicker, it is no longer a soup, but something like a stew.
Where to find: For example, Menza etterem ez cavezo, Liszt Ferenc tér 2, from 10:00 to 00:00, but in general goulash is not difficult to find in Budapest :)
What is the price: about 1000-1500Ft
2. Libamaj. But this is a hit. For the sake of libamai, I would go to Budapest again today. Libamay is a foie gras-type goose liver. Libamai is served both cold and hot (fried). I liked it better cold. How can I describe it? Divine. The top of the gastronomic pyramid. Tender, airy, melting in your mouth. In short, I simply cannot convey this taste; I can only hum and show with my hands.
The degree of divinity depends on where and how this liver was prepared, in all restaurants differently. But what they sell around in jars - even for a lot of money - is not at all the same! There is an ordinary pate, albeit made from goose liver, but there is no comparison at all.
Where to find: Menza etterem ez cavezo(cold appetizers section on the menu), Liszt Ferenc ter 2
What is the price: about 2000Ft
By the way, this is this restaurant Menza In general, I highly, highly recommend it. If you want to try Hungarian cuisine, but don’t have any desire to go to a place that looks like a wooden hut with wild boars on the walls, then Menza is perfect.
It's a nice, quiet place close to the center, the menu is international, but you can also find slightly modernized Hungarian staples. And also palinka, Tokaj wine - everything is there :)
3. Duck! Hungarians are known for game and poultry. I haven’t tried game, I don’t know, but duck is cooked beautifully in Budapest. Order roasted duck breast or leg- you can't go wrong. A perfectly cooked duck, cooked just right, with a crispy skin and juicy meat - another thing that will make me miss Budapest :)
Where to find: in my opinion, duck is on the menu of almost all Budapest establishments, but I would recommend Cafe Intenzo, Kalvin Square, 9 - something like a cozy tavern with reasonable prices, opens from 11:00
What is the price: about 2000-2500Ft
4. Chicken paprikash (paprikás). Well, it’s the same story as with goulash. Chicken with paprika, stewed in thick sour cream sauce. Served with small chipette dumplings. The dish is simple and can easily be prepared upon arrival at home. But it’s iconic! So - as long as it’s time and intensity - you can try it.
Where to find: Cafe Intenzo, Kalvin Square, 9
What is the price: about 1500Ft
In general, Hungarians, of course, know how to eat meat. Meat eaters have plenty of freedom here. Everything is very tasty and properly prepared.
5. Hungary is rich in fish:) I really wanted to try it halaszle- fish soup with paprika and tomato sauce - but all around it’s delicious meat... She never got around to it. But if the opportunity arises, you should try halasle. Even in Hungary, baked in every way is very popular. trout. If you love river fish, be sure to try it.
Where to find: Castro Bistro, Madach Imre ter 3, from 11:00 to 00:00. In general, I highly recommend it, it’s a cool informal bistro, the prices are moderate, the cuisine is varied, there are also Hungarian dishes. And having a cocktail there is also good. In the evenings it becomes noisy, youthful, drunk and fun :)
What is the price: about 2500-3000Ft
6. All kinds of sausages and sausages. They are also called Debrecen. Sold in street stalls, in a bun, without a bun, etc. I advise you to go to TöLTő Bar & Grill- a small but proud trendy establishment (actually, more like a stall:) with home-made hot dogs and sausages.
The sauces and additives here are also unusual - for example, you can choose pork sausage with pickled tangerines and fruit sauce.
Delicious!
Where to find: Wesselényi utca 31, from 12:00 to 20:00, closed on Sun.
What is the price: 1100-1300Ft
7. If we’re talking about street food, we need to remember Langos- typical Hungarian fast food. A yeast flatbread fried in oil and topped with some kind of filling, most often grated cheese. Tasty, satisfying, cheap and cheerful :)
Where to find: in street kiosks in the city, also in the central market. Sometimes lángos is also served in establishments, with soup, for example, in the same Menza.
What is the price: 300-500Ft
8. Krémes. Traditional Hungarian pastry. Two or three layers of puff pastry, and between them a thick, thick layer of custard. In general, it’s tasty, but quite boring, to be honest :) I won’t say that it’s a must try.
But with a cup of coffee and a piece of creamesh (or any other dessert) you can sit in a fun Book Cafe coffee shop, which is located on the third floor of the large Alexandra bookstore, and looks more like a ballroom rather than a cafe :)
There are also cakes such as Dobosh, Esterhazy, etc.
Where to find: Alexandra Könyváruház, Andrássy ut 39
What is the price: dessert + coffee will cost around 1600-1700Ft
9. Cakes Dobosh and Esterhazy. And again I can’t recommend it. Exactly the same Dobosh or Esterhazy can be eaten in any good local confectionery; these desserts have long since disappeared into the world. Well, unless you are a fan and comparing with the original is a matter of principle :)
Where to find: Ruszwurm Cukraszda, Szentharomsag U.7, an old pastry shop in Buda, has all the traditional Hungarian sweets. Well, or in any other pastry shop in Budapest
What is the price: piece of cake 500-600Ft
10. But what can’t be missed from sweets is this shomloi galushka). Pieces of sponge cake with custard, whipped cream and syrup. It looks, frankly, like some kind of strange mess. But it is actually a very tasty and tender dessert. It looks something like tiramisu.
Where to find: in pastry shops, in the dessert menu of cafes. We ate at Cafe Intenzo
What is the price: 600-700Ft
11. Another interesting Hungarian sweet - chestnut puree, with which they make various desserts. But not for everybody. It is especially common on restaurant menus during the chestnut season, at the end of autumn.
Where to find: Menza etterem ez cavezo, Liszt Ferenc ter 2, from 10:00 to 00:00
What is the price: about 1000Ft
12. Street sweets worth trying kurtoskalács, they are literally on every corner in Budapest. At first we kept walking past and turning up our noses - what could there be there that we haven’t seen? Well, bun and bun.
And on the last, cold, cold November evening, we walked past the kiosk - and so the warm smell of citrus and vanilla came from there! Well, we bought it, of course. It turned out to be not just any bun, but a very tasty bun:) Warm, tender, all saturated with a citrus smell - just what you need on a chilly evening!
Where can I buy: almost everywhere)
What is the price: about 300Ft
13. And if you wanted good coffee, then Budapest has it. And you need to go to the coffee shop to get him My Little Melbourne Coffee.
I thought that after the motley variety of Kyiv coffee shops, nothing would surprise me - but this little Australian coffee shop sunk right into my soul. It’s so nice and cozy there! The coffee is excellent. Both espresso and Australian flat white.
There are Australian flags hanging around, plush koalas, and some wonderful music is playing :)
In addition to all sorts of coffee, there are also delicious paninis with salty fillings, croissants, and juices. An ideal place for breakfast. Especially if you sit on the ground floor by the window.
Where to find: My little Melbourne coffee, Madách Imre út 3.
What is the price: coffee 700-800Ft
14. Tokajskoe wine. Tokaj wines come in sweet, semi-sweet, and even dry varieties. I usually drink dry wine, so at the bar I asked for dry Tokaji. To which the bartender said that he could pour me a dry one, but if I want to try Tokaji true wine, then I need to drink only sweet ones. Well, the sweet is so sweet :) Surprisingly, the Tokaji sweet turned out to be not at all cloying. And very fragrant. It smells like ripe pears and berries. A truly intoxicating smell. I really liked it. Later, I even bought a bottle of Tokay at home, albeit semi-sweet.
Where to find: in almost all restaurants and bars
What is the price: 1000-2000Ft glass
15. Drink palinka- such a fruity Hungarian brandy. For everyone, if you drink rum and tequila, then you should like palinka. I don’t really like it, I prefer gin :)
Where to find: in any bar
What is the price: 700-1000Ft 50ml
16. Bitter Unicum. A creepy, strange bitter thing, which, nevertheless, is a famous specialty of Hungary.
I thought it was like Becherovka, which I love very much, but alas. The unique one turned out to be very bitter and very tasteless. Like medicine. But if you want, you can take a risk)
Where to find: in any bar
What is the price: 500-800Ft 50ml
Well, you can taste all this abundance of alcohol, for example, in the famous ruin bar Szimpla Kert. A huge two-story abandoned building in which they made an endless bar.
A completely crazy place. A lot of drunk and cheerful good people :)
For different types of alcohol - different zones and different bars. Its own area for cocktails, for strong drinks, for wine. Where there is wine is the most peaceful place. Where are the cocktails and strong drinks - rubilovo-mesilovo :)
You take your glass with something and go for a walk. In Szimpla Kert there are a lot of rooms, nooks and crannies, stairs, everything is hung with all sorts of old strange things. Cool!
Prices are average.
In general, there are several such ruin bars in Budapest, but Szimpla Kert is the largest and most famous. You don’t even have to drink, but just be there, absorb and observe. Very cool place.
Characteristic dishes for national Hungarian cuisine are those that use a large amount of ground paprika, onions, tomatoes and green bell peppers. The most popular meat here is pork, the most common vegetable is cabbage. Among the delicacies, it is worth highlighting goose liver pate and chicken paprikash.
It is impossible to imagine Hungary without such national dishes as:
1. Traditional goulash- beef soup, which is stewed with the addition of onions, cabbage, potatoes and tomatoes.
2. Chicken paprikash prepared from finely chopped chicken meat, which is fried with the addition of onions, sweet peppers, paprika, garlic and broth. Add sour cream to the finished dish.
3. No less popular Turosh chusa- boiled noodles, to which sour cream, cottage cheese and cracklings are added.
4. Hungarian soup made from lake or river fish is called Fazelek.
5. Virgin Roast prepared from suckling pig, which is stuffed with chopped pork ham.
Traditional Hungarian cuisine can offer many interesting dishes for dessert. Strudel has also become almost traditional here. In Hungary, nuts, poppy seeds, cherries, pears or apples are used as filling. The most popular local cakes are Shomloy dumplings and dobosh. If you see such a Hungarian dish as kürteskalács on the menu of one of the restaurants, you should not be surprised, since it is just a traditional cylindrical dessert.
Hungary is a real “treasury” of desserts. It is famous for its culinary traditions, delicious sweets, and aromatic pastries.
It is said that some local recipes were borrowed from the times when the country was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But there are also original desserts that were first prepared here. In any case, you should definitely try Hungarian sweets.
Kürtőskalács
Kürteskalács can be considered a kind of Hungarian confectionery fast food. You don't need a specialized kitchen to prepare it. Kürteshkalach is baked over coals, directly on street braziers, by rolling thin sweet dough onto a metal spit. The result is a fragrant hollow pastry, which is topped with sugar, cinnamon, cocoa, coke shavings, chocolate or ground nuts.
Today kürteskalács can be bought in Hungary literally at every step. It is simply impossible to resist the enchanting aromas of fresh baked goods wafting through the city streets. The bakery costs about 300 Ft and is very popular at fairs and festivals, both on holidays and on weekdays. It is delicious on its own, but sometimes the tubes are filled with soft ice cream.
Retesh (rétes)
The history of this dessert is intertwined with the culinary traditions of the neighboring country – Austria. It can be considered almost a “twin” of the famous Viennese strudel. The dish is a roll of very thin dough with a filling that can be very varied: apples with cinnamon, cherries, curd and cheese mass with the addition of poppy seeds or nuts.
Classic retesh is made from a special dough with a high gluten content, which requires a special “strudel” type of flour. You can try Hungarian retesh in a cafe, paying from 320 to 2,450 Ft per serving.
Kremes
As you can guess from the name, the central place in this popular Hungarian pastry is given to cream. A dessert prepared according to a traditional recipe must certainly have a lush vanilla-cream layer that melts in your mouth. The delicate taste is emphasized by thin puff pastry with a crispy crust that crumbles into small flakes.
The ingredients used in the preparation of kremesh and its appearance led to the fact that the dessert was often called nothing more than the Hungarian version of Napoleon cake. It is better to decide on the similarity of these dishes yourself - a piece of creamy pleasure is inexpensive, from 400 to 800 Ft.
Cake "Dobosh" (Dobostorta)
During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, confectioners in Budapest competed with their Viennese counterparts for the privilege of baking sweets for the royal court. The Dobos cake, which is the magnificent result of this rivalry, is now considered a classic Hungarian national dessert. It consists of six thin sponge cakes with chocolate cream, decorated with caramel glaze.
It was “Dobosh” that became the favorite dessert of Elizabeth, the wife of Emperor Franz Joseph. The cake got its name in honor of its creator, confectioner József Dobos, who first baked it in 1885 to coincide with the National Exhibition. For that time, both the shape and taste of the cake were truly innovative.
The dessert was also unique in that it could be stored without refrigeration for up to 10 days. This made it possible to transport it over long distances in special boxes made of wood.
For more than 20 years, József Dobos kept the recipe for his cake a secret and published it only in 1906, after his retirement.Today, one of the most popular desserts in Hungary continues to be baked according to the old original recipe. “Dobosh” is sold in pastry shops for Ft 4,500-6,720, and a slice of specialty cake can be purchased for Ft 450 to Ft 2,250, depending on the status of the establishment. Serve the cake with a cup of aromatic tea or coffee.
Cake "Esterházy" (Eszterházy torta)
Another Hungarian cake, whose history dates back to the era of Austria-Hungary. This time the dessert was named after the diplomat, Prince Esterhazy, who 170 years ago served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and was present as an ambassador at the coronation of Alexander II.
The cake was first baked in honor of the birth of a minister's son in the mid-19th century. Crispy almond cakes that melted in the mouth created a real sensation, and the unusual delicacy quickly gained popularity among European aristocrats. The cake took pride of place among the most famous Hungarian desserts, becoming almost a cult favorite.
The classic Esterhazy cake consists of five layers made from whipped egg whites. Initially, they were baked with almonds, but later they began to replace them with walnuts or hazelnuts. The cakes are combined with butter cream flavored. A mesh-like pattern is applied to a thick layer of light sugar icing decorating the cake using liquid chocolate.
The price of a cake, which can be purchased in pastry shops in Budapest, starts from 4,500 Ft and depends on its weight. A portion of dessert in cafes or restaurants can be purchased from 550 to 840 Ft. They eat it after the main course, with tea or coffee.
Gundel pancakes (Gundel palacsinta)
Another favorite delicacy of tourists and residents of Hungary, named after its creator, is Gundel-style sweet pancakes. This dish was invented in 1910 by the famous chef, one of the founders, Károly Gundel, with whose name it went down in the history of national desserts in Hungary.
The delicacy consists of thin lacy pancakes generously stuffed with a sweet mixture of sour cream, raisins, dried fruits, lemon zest and walnuts. Gundel-style pancakes are generously poured with hot chocolate and alcohol tincture on top. Sometimes dessert is served burning - this is the effect that ignited alcohol gives. You can taste a portion of the famous pancakes in Budapest restaurants for prices ranging from 1,400 to 2,900 Ft.
Shomloy dumplings (somlói galuska)
One of the most unusual Hungarian sweets is Somloy dumplings. This pure indulgence consists of small pieces of soft nut, vanilla and chocolate sponge cake with the addition of raisins and walnuts. The final chord in preparing the dessert is soaking it in rum, adding butter cream, decorating with whipped cream and patterns of chocolate sauce.
You can try the symphony of taste in Budapest called “Somloy dumplings” for an average of 600 – 1790 Ft.
The national cuisine in Hungary could not stand apart and not be influenced by the cooking of other countries. In the 15th century, the Italian bride of the king transformed the palace kitchen according to the traditions of her country. After the Turkish conquests, the recipes were supplemented with paprika, which became one of the main ingredients. Certain culinary secrets were borrowed from neighboring Romania. However, culinary specialists from Hungary managed to transform the dishes in such a way “in their own way” that it is almost impossible to recognize the prototypes in them.
Hungarian cuisine has certain specifics:
- the main assistant in creating dishes is pork fat;
- the first courses are very filling and thick;
- the recipes contain a lot of meat, mainly pork, poultry, veal;
- spices, paprika and onions are used in large quantities;
- sour cream is served with all first and second courses;
- The main method of preparation is stewing.
Flour is distinguished by its maximum inclusion of gluten. This allows chefs to create unique desserts from the finest dough, as well as tarhonya. These dried granules in the form of cereals are used in soups, side dishes, and stuffing.
What is a must-try in Budapest?

Hungarian food from A to Z

The soups here are hearty and rich, the portions are huge, and the ingredients are solid. In addition, almost everything you order and try in Hungary is tasty and inexpensive! Eat this goulash soup and you'll be full all day. You don't even need to continue your meal. So, recipes for the first Hungarian dishes.
Balaton fish soup - dish number 1 in Hungary
- Goulash, or gouyash (Gulyás). This is a “two in one” soup, i.e. both the first and the second at the same time. Goulash is cooked from a huge amount of meat and spicy seasonings. Order a plate of spicy meat soup with dumplings, potatoes and a piece of fresh wheat bread in a cafe or restaurant. And don’t forget to tell everyone how filling, tasty and even fun it is. After all, the meat delicacy, which is impossible to tear yourself away from, is usually served in small pots.
- Halaszle. Balaton fish soup is the best food in Hungary for fish lovers. This soup used to be prepared by local fishermen, but now the culinary masterpiece has been elevated to a cooler status - the pride of the national cuisine. If you order halasle for the first time, pay attention to the aroma, taste and consistency. Hungarian soup is rich because it is cooked from a large amount of river fish. The trifle is quickly fried in pork fat with paprika and onions. Then add tomato juice, simmer and chop. In the pot in which this beauty is served, you will see large pieces (catfish, pike, carp).
Main courses and snacks
Basic Hungarian dishes are no less varied in content, number of ingredients and portion sizes. Everything is served generously and on a grand scale.
Chicken paprikash - a simple but tasty dish
Hungarian food and snacks: curd körözöt
- Paprikash (Paprikás csirke). The taste of this traditional Hungarian dish is unforgettable. Having tried one of the varieties, say, Borju from veal or Csirke from chicken, you will want to fry the meat at home and, flavoring it with sour cream sauce and paprika, remember how tasty and satisfying you were treated to.
- Pörkölt / Tokan. This is a real national dish of finely chopped meat, stewed in wine and tomato sauce, flavored with spices and onion dressing. The beef version of goulash is also good, Marha porkolt, and pork - Sertes porkolt, and others. Tokan will also show you the colorfulness of Hungarian cuisine. It is somewhat reminiscent of perkölt, but here the meat cuts are thinner and longer, there is less onion and paprika. But with lard, sour cream, peas and other goodies, the simple dish will amaze.
- Körözött. A cottage cheese snack with a piquant taste, a frequent guest on buffets in Hungary. Unforgettable aroma and satiety. All this, combined in a curd spread with the addition of onions and hot spices, is spread on bread. Nourishing and tasty. It can easily replace breakfast, afternoon snack or dinner.
