Fausto
Still the most upmarket (and expensive) Italian restaurant in town, Fausto has brilliant pasta dishes, daily specials and desserts; there are lots of choices for vegetarians. The yellow walls and antique furniture provide an elegant touch and the Italian wine selection is huge. It remains one of the most pleasant dining experiences in Budapest.

La Fontaine
La Fontaine 'The Fountain' is a Parisian-style 'café-théâtre', with more of the former than the latter. The relatively simple brasserie food is good, especially the leg of lamb and the steak frîtes . There is also a much wider choice of fish dishes than one would normally find in such a restaurant.

Le Jardin de Paris
A regular haunt of staff from the French Institute across the road (who should know la cuisine française ), 'The Parisian Garden' is housed in Kapisztory House, a wonderful old townhouse abutting an ancient castle wall. The back garden ablaze in fairy lights is enchanting in summer. Try the homemade pâtés and the brasserie-style steak and chips.

Marcello
Popular with students from the nearby university since it was founded some 15 years ago, this father-and-son-owned operation just down the road from XI Gellért tér offers reliable Italian fare at affordable prices. The salad bar is good value and the lasagne almost legendary in these parts.
-
Marxim
A short walk (very logically) from Moscow Sq, this odd place is a hangout for teens who have added a layer of their own graffiti to the communist memorabilia and kitsch. OK, we all know Stalin szuksz , but it's still a curiosity for those who appreciate the Gulag, Lenin and Red October pizzas and the campy Stalinist décor.
-
Pink Cadillac
More of an upbeat 1950s diner than a pizzeria, the Pink Cadillac still reigns supreme on IX Ráday utca after all this time. If you don't like the surrounds, have it delivered to Paris Texas (that's a pub next door and not some one-horse town in the Lone Star State).
-
Taverna Pireus Rembetiko
Overlooking a patch of green and facing the Nagycsarnok Great Market, this place serves reasonably priced and pretty authentic Greek fare. Rembetiko is a folk music school and a style of traditional Greek music; there are live performances on Friday and Saturday evening. The courtyard is tempting in summer.
-
Trattoria Toscana
Hard by the Danube, this trattoria serves rustic and very authentic Italian and Tuscan food, including ribollito alla chiantigiana , a hearty vegetable soup stewed with cannelini (white Tuscan beans) and Parmesan cheese. The focaccia is excellent too.
