This very popular étkezde is an excellent place for lunch or a very early evening meal. There are daily specials and the menu changes every week.

Klassz
Probably our favourite restaurant in Budapest at the moment, Klassz is mostly about wine – Hungarian to be precise – and here you can order by the 10cL measure from an ever-changing list of up to four-dozen wines to sip and compare. The food is of a very high standard, with foie gras in its various avatars and native mangalica pork permanent fixtures on the menu, as well as more unusual (and fleeting) dishes like Burgundy-style leg of rabbit (2390Ft) and lamb trotters with vegetable ragout. Reservations are not accepted; just show up and wait.

Spinoza Café
This attractive cafe-restaurant in the Jewish district has become a personal favourite both for meals and as a chill-out zone. The venue includes an art gallery and theatre, where concerts by the Pannónia Klezmer Band and other events take place from September to May, along with a restaurant and coffee house. There’s live music Tuesday to Saturday from around 7pm. The food is mostly Hungarian/Jewish nonkosher comfort food. Remember: the play’s the thing.
