while learning about Budapest and Hungary’s history in general, on a hop-on hop-off bus tour when we decided to “hop-off”, we stumbled upon one of Hungary’s most famous restaurants – Gundel. In a word – YUM. one of my favorite items on the menu…dessert consisting of coffee, cognac & cigar for a grand total of $12. Gundel is in the lovely city park Varolisget where you will also find the Szechenyi Baths – another must-see on the list.
one of my favorite finds was castro bisztro…delicious, cheap and fun atmosphere. we shazamed some great tunes that night!!!
other faves on the Pest side – Cafe Kor, Instant and the many cafes along Liszt Ferenc Ter.
another city bus tour down and a wienerschnitzel later, having one of the many delicious biers/beers i enjoyed on this excursion to Austria. this is St. Stephen’s Cathedral behind me in Vienna. all in all, getting “ashed in” was not half bad. i may have brought home a few extra pounds from beer calories but along with that many priceless memories well worth the spare tire!
