It is quite easy to communicate in Budapest as most places have English and Russian speaking vendors and waiters. However, once you get into a small restaurant or cafe, somewhere on the banks of the Danube, you will be faced with the fact that you will not be understood in either Russian or English.
Therefore, we have prepared the top dishes and products, the names of which will help you not to stay hungry:
- pörkölt – Stewed meat
- gulyás leves – Goulash (soup)
- halászle – fish soup
- töltött káposzta – Stuffed cabbage
- pálinka – “Fruit brandy”
- kolbász – Sausage
- kürtőskalács – Pie from the oven
- somlói galuska – Sponge cake drizzled with rich chocolate sauce and topped with light whipped cream
- dobos torta – Sponge cake filled with soft chocolate butter topped with a thin piece of caramel
- palacsinta – Pancake
Food in Hungary is not only hot dishes, but also delicious local sweet pastries and fragrant Tokaj wines. Therefore, Budapest will appeal to all gourmets, from the smallest to adults.
