Hungarian Food - What to Eat in Hungary - Wolters World Zoltan: About fast restaurant service: I have worked in hotels and there is a strange thing, an experience - when guests are arriving from western world - they are awaiting a McDonalds like fast service and forget to enjoy the time and the opportunity where they are. Worst case scenario: Germans yelling, playing the VIP president, and asking for manager many times without reasons, or because we are only just a communist country. Alas, we don't. You must learn, that at Hungary, people are much slower paced, and the world here is not that nervous, like in the US, or at Germany. Many times, good restaurants are forbidden to use pre-frozen microwaved heated food, and you will receive it mostly or all fresh made that needs TIME. Thats why you must sit and wait reasonable time, service, and the CARE. Never understanded why westerners can wait hours in the Caribbeans for just a single plate of food, and here many times don't. So, if you are being chased, you have brief time here and want to enjoy everything under an hour, forget quality restaurants, just look your burger chain. Else, take a deep breath, enjoy the city view, menu, service, and that you get local food that fill you up well, and will be not a new wave molecular kitchen that as it here being said makes the plate only dirty, and keeps you hungry.

Kosonom, Mark, for distinguishing between the real Hungarian goulash and the Chef Boyardee s$& that passes for goulash here in the US. I have had both and there is no comparison. One is goulash. The other is macaroni and beef. I've had the stuffed cabbage at our Matyas family get togethers and it is delicious. We have a family sausage recipe from the old country that we still serve and used to sell at an old neighborhood liquor store we owned in my hometown in Michigan for years. We would have back orders on the sausage for weeks back in the 80s and 90s.

why are there no videos from you of Turkey? I would love to see your take on it. although I travelled there as tourist and as child of migrants visiting other family members. I often wonder, how you see it with your eyes. as somebody just turned 50 and living in Europe I also have the 'tourist' eye of course. but I often wonder, how you would like it ther. as it is a country where you can travel with a rather low budget as well

you touched on trying the local pastries. I highly recommend finding out where the good pastry shops are. including all the different cakes. traditionaly it's the mix of turkish, austrian-french style cakes. on another note, palinka has 40 plus percent alcohol content. that is no margaritas. have fun. ps: we love Italian food/not much seafood though/

If you ask the hotel for restaurant recommendations 6: 55 youll end up at a touristy joint for sure.
That said the two iconic (and now touristy) places I recommend are Cafe Gerbeaud and New York Cafe to enjoy the coffee culture of Budapest. Both built in the 1800s still serving excellent coffee and delicious cakes!

One of my favourite Hungarian dishes is vadas, hunter's stew. Traditionally made with game (delicious from venison ) but nowadays often with beef, covered in a delicious thick sauce and served with dumplings. Not always easy to find in restaurants because it is quite labour intensive to make.

Local butchers are also amazing spots for lunch! In most, you can order cooked sausages and a variety of meats with bread for a great lunch. Also for Pest specifically there is an excellent little pasta shop for lunch in Kalvin Ter that is perfect for a quick and cheap bite.

Have to say that Hungarian food is my favorite out of all European food. Used to be a FA for two international US carriers and have traveled, and eaten, a lot. If feel as if theres a lot of opportunity to share this food around the world. Thank you for the food Hungary!

I live in Budapest at the moment. A Hungarian in the comments already mentioned it- but I would definitely add cold fruit soup to the list for anyone who's here in Summer. Apparently it's a starter- but definitely tastes more like dessert. Delicious.

I wish I had watched your video before I ate my lunch in Budapest. I have eaten a lot of things while travelling in Europe and the meal that I had in Budapest was by far the worst; I know it was because of a wrong choice though.
