Restaurants in Budapest

Hungarians like to eat very much, and very good at cooking as well. Even cooking channels in the television is very popular. If you check tripadvisor.com ratings of Budapest restaurants, very hard to find restaurants with ratings of 3 out of 5, even on the 46th page. It does not mean there are no bad quality restaurants in Budapest, or you would like anything you can eat here, but most of the people are happy what you can eat here. There are many restaurants in Budapest several hundred or even several thousand if we count fast food places and buffets as well. If you want really tasty foods, restaurants are way better than fast food places.

Costes the first restaurant in Budapest with a Michelin star

Best restaurants in Budapest

In Budapest the following restaurants got a Michelin star: Costes, Onyx, Borkonyha, Tanti. I think it is a huge acknowledgement for a restaurant. But don’t think that only 4 good restaurant can be found in Budapest, I think there are hundreds of them. Apart from the main Hungarian cuisine line, there are Japan, Indian, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Thai, Slovak, Serbian, Turkish, Sea fish and who knows what kind of other restaurants can be found here. Totally there are approximately 500 restaurants in Budapest, if I count every place you can eat something can be as much as 2000, and growing. Fast food places are not that good, as the real restaurants.

Those who don’t want to spend much I suggest two choices: Trofea grill restaurants for fixed price, here you can eat as many as you can, or the fastfood places in the West End shopping mall, where there is a wide selection of foods at a fixed price, starting about 3 Euros a main course without soup and beverages. There is a fastfood in almost any shopping malls the prices are the same but the quality is up and down. The safe choice is usually if there is the Il Treno pizzeria which is there in several shopping malls.
