Palapa
The food at this colourful Mexican restaurant with live music makes it the perfect place for a change from Hungarian fare.

Csülök Csárda
The 'Pork Knuckle Inn' - guess the speciality here - is a charming eatery that is popular with visitors and locals alike. It serves up good home cooking (try the bean soup), the portions are huge and we remember a delightful winter Sunday in Esztergom long ago that began at the Christian Museum and ended with a Dreher-fuelled porky lunch here. Highly recommended.

Tóparti Halászcsárda
South of Kodály tér, the 'Lakeside Fisherman's Inn' is a quaint little eatery serving scaly things. Try its famous halászlé (fish soup). The csárda (Hungarian-style inn or restaurant) may be closed on Monday and Tuesday in winter.

Szalma Csárda
The 'Thatched Inn' is done up in HHK (High Hungarian Kitsch) décor - lots of chillies and plates on the walls - and very popular with tourists. Opposite the Mahart pier, it may be just the place for a final provincial meal before sailing back to Budapest.

Erm’s
Retro-style Erm’s, with its walls festooned with early 20th–century memorabilia and simple wooden tables dressed in lacy cloths, is an unpretentious spot with a wide choice of Hungarian specialities, including some vegetarian choices.

Pityer
One and a half kilometres southwest of Fő tér, this traditional halászcsárda (restaurant serving fish dishes) is worth the trip if you're in search of fish. Portions are large and the surrounds are quite atmospheric.

Régimódi
Régimódi is the best of the tourist traps in the centre. With a menu heavy on poultry, there are enough vegetarian, fish and game dishes to keep everyone satisfied. Choose a table on the main square or the quieter back terrace.

Zöld Lovag
This courtyard eatery is another one of those 'medieval-style' restaurants, with colourful banners, large rough-hewn tables and chairs, a menu in Old Hungarian script and men in tights. But the food ain't half bad at this particular one.

Gödör
This restaurant-cum-wine cellar is affiliated with the Jégverem in Sopron and as such caters to 'greedy-guts' types. Portions are massive, dishes relatively authentic and prices reasonable. You really can't go wrong here.

Paradicsom
The 'Tomato' is an above-average Italian restaurant with a good vegetarian selection. The pizza and pasta are quite good. Belsö Uránia Udvar can be accessed from Mártírok tére or Fő tér 20.

Promenade
Vaulted ceilings, white-washed walls and a wonderful terrace overlooking the Danube are all highlights here, one of Szentendre’s best restaurants serving ‘enlightened’ Hungarian and international dishes.

Múzeumkert
This restaurant-cum-cocktail lounge called the 'Museum Garden' also serves some of the best cakes and pastries in Esztergom. It attracts a mixed crowd of tea drinkers and boozers.

Aranysárkány
It may sound Chinese but this place serves superb Hungarian and Austrian dishes and is big on steaks. Laura Bush has graced this place with her presence, so it must be good.

Anonim
Housed in an attractive old townhouse in Watertown, 'Anonymous' serves small but excellent and very tasty dishes. The garden seating is a real plus in the warmer months.

Szent Márton
Below the abbey and at the back of the car park, this place has a snack bar, pub and gift shop, as well as a decent - if not ground-breaking - restaurant.

Görög
In a restored Esterházy mansion, the 'Greek' serves, well, Greek-ish food in pseudo-Hellenic surrounds. It does make for a change from goulash.

Café Trafó
This little café is a leafy oasis with modern décor; a great place to take a breather, sit back and relax. We could spend all day here.

Claudia
Excellent cakes and ice cream are served here, and it's a great place to relax, especially in summer when tables spill out onto the pavement.

Albatrosz
This restaurant and (sometimes lively) bar is in an attractive old house overlooking the lake near the castle. It attracts a young crowd.

Kiskakas
Tucked away in a quiet courtyard/parking lot is Kiskakas, an upmarket spot with a Hungarian menu and covered outdoor seating area.

Lángos Stand
For a quick bite to eat, try the small lángos stand halfway up the steep steps from Fő tér to Castle Hill.

Café Móló
This modern, upbeat place opposite the less-than-appetising Iseum should be your first choice if you just want a pizza.

Vasember
With consistently good Hungarian cuisine, this cellar restaurant in the 'Iron Man House' is the town's best restaurant.

Semiramis
Semiramis easily fits the bill of a downtown Manhattan café. It probably serves the best coffee in Szombathely.

Marzipan Museum
This is a good place to stop for cake and ice cream, and kids will love the marzipan creations inside the museum.
