One of the best new modern Hungarian bistros, this place offers both excellent cooking and superb value. With internationally trained chef/owner Gábor Fehér at the helm, expect such 'oddities that work' as tomato soup with blueberry and red currants and seared calves' feet with smoked mayonnaise. The place is small; be sure you book ahead, lunch is only available if you have a reservation.
ESCA's sister-restaurant just next door, Tábla, is now open for breakfast and lunch only.
