Budapest Restaurants

  1. Articsóka

    Charming Articsóka is tastefully decorated and has an atrium, roof-top terrace and a theatre that can accommodate 100 people. There's live music every second week of the month, and the atmosphere should win a prize. The food is more Hungo-Med than Italian (but heading in that general direction). Pasta dishes are especially recommended.

  2. Magdalena Merlo

    This restaurant, conveniently catty-cornered from the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy, serves an odd mix of Hungarian and Italian dishes. What's more, since it was the Svejk (from Jaroslav Hašek's satirical novel The Good Soldier Svejk ) for many years it has retained a page of 'nostalgic' Czech and Slovak dishes for those who can't let go of the memories.

  3. Okay Italia

    Okay is a perennially popular place run by Italians with a full range of dishes with a nearby branch (V Nyugati tér 6) that serves just pasta and pizza, which is what most people come for in any case. Both restaurants have terraces.
