红妆人NefelibataI would like to recommend a few must-order dishes. First, the Parboiled Beef Salad (Nam Tom). I love this way of eating beef. It is rare to see such authentic beef in the local area. However, the beef is a bit overcooked recently, and I have reported this to the store.

孟繁琳The Central Coffee Shop has been around since 1887. I don't know what it tasted like before, but now the environment and service are impeccable. The price of coffee is much lower than Starbucks, but the quality is incomparable to Starbucks. Order an opera house with a cup of coffee. The sweetness of chocolate and the bitterness of coffee are combined to make it less greasy. It is really satisfying. If you come to Budapest, please don't miss it. <div, class="less-words">. <a, href="javascript.", class="unfold">, hide comments <i, class="icon"></i>, </a>. </div>.

读万卷书；行万里路This Ruszwurm cukraszda café is located on the west side of Budapest, behind the Matthias Church on the top of the Buda Hill. The restaurant was built in 1827, and Princess Sissi was a frequent visitor. The café is small, with only 6 or 7 tables, but it does good business. The taste of their desserts is outstanding, especially the tiramisu, which is the best tiramisu cake I have ever eaten.

蹄少主一直很纠结Next to the Bank of China in Budapest, I originally thought it was a Chinese restaurant, but when I looked closely, I found that it was an authentic Hungarian restaurant. But after eating, I found that the taste was quite suitable for us, hehe. Because the first meal had grilled foie gras with steak (seems to be a specialty of Budapest), it felt great, so I decided to try this one again. The portion was very large, and it was also served with fried green beans with onions (a bit like Chinese stir-fry), and French fries, which tasted very good?? The Spanish fried rice was also very large, and two people were full. The only thing that might lack a little taste is the pea cream soup, because it contains mint, I don’t feel used to it. I’m okay with it, but my husband basically passes it. PS, the menu of this restaurant has pictures and Chinese. So friends who travel independently can come and try it?? The location is easy to find, just locate "Bank of China". <div, class="less-words">. <a, href="javascript.", class="unfold">, hide comments <i, class="icon"></i>, </a>. </div>.

读万卷书；行万里路This restaurant is a popular local restaurant with a high cost-effectiveness ratio, so there are many diners. If you go late, it is easy to queue up. You can ask the hotel to help you reserve a seat. The restaurant is about 300 meters away from the Hungarian State Opera House and is close to the famous Andrassy Avenue. The food tastes good, but it doesn't feel as good as its reputation, and there is a certain gap compared to other popular or Michelin restaurants in Budapest.

读万卷书；行万里路This Gelarto Rosa is an ice cream shop located in the center of Budapest, southwest of St. Stephen's Basilica. The characteristic of this shop is that the ice cream is very beautiful. Various flavors of ice cream are made into the shape of rose petals and glued together to form an ice cream rose. Due to the unique shape, a large number of tourists line up to buy it, but the taste is not too outstanding.

读万卷书；行万里路Cyrano Restaurant is located in the center of Budapest, close to Vas Street. It was awarded the title of Michelin Knife and Fork in 2018. The restaurant's red pepper chicken and red stewed beef are its signature dishes, which are also specialties of Budapest. The dishes taste remarkable, and the prices are still very affordable for a Michelin-level restaurant.

隨時出走This place has been highly praised by self-service travellers. Satisfying the craving for food is also a very important part of travel. Thanks to everyone’s help, I will try it out. There is a business lunch in the business center. If you look carefully, you should find it nearby. There are many places where you can eat spaghetti and ten soups for 1100 HUF, which is really cool.

胡贵闳Came here with my family and husband after arriving in Budapest. Got this recommendation after requesting authentic Hungarian food from our hotel and we were not disappointed. I had the brisket goulash, my parents had a beef potato pancake, and husband had the wild boar stew. Bone broth and sauerkraut as an appetizer. Almond pudding for desert. Everything was excellent and the service was incredible. Tan à gave excellent recommendations and was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back.

读万卷书；行万里路Borkonyha is a Michelin one-star restaurant in Budapest, located in the center of Pest, next to St. Stephen's Basilica. The dishes here are very good, especially the veal, which is very tender. Although it is fully cooked, the tenderness of the taste makes people feel that it doesn't even feel like beef. The taste of other dishes is also remarkable. I have tried several Michelin and Internet celebrity restaurants in Budapest, and the taste of this restaurant is the best. Of course, the price is relatively expensive, but for a Michelin restaurant, the cost performance is still very high.

小奶油儿When I woke up early, the sky was gloomy, so I immediately gave up Fisherman's Bastion and decided to go to the most beautiful breakfast shop for breakfast. After breakfast, I found that the sky was clear. I arrived at Fisherman's Bastion at about 10 o'clock and felt that everything was just right. After visiting Fisherman's Bastion, I walked back to Pest from the Chain Bridge. The sun was bright, the breeze was blowing, the sky was blue, and the sun was warm. It was a blessed day. Budapest got dark very quickly in winter. I had lunch in Pest and walked around a little before it got dark. It was the last day before returning home. I was very lucky. No matter what happened in the middle, this trip was finally frozen in a beautiful moment. #新时代新青年新旅游 #邂逅冬日美丽

It has an unbeatable view and is a very good choice for both dining and drinking coffee. If you go to the Fisherman's Bastion late and there are many tourists, you can choose to order a cup of coffee here. The price is not very expensive, but the view is definitely worth it.

It is a unique experience to see the castle from the water. The dishes are also exquisite and delicious, suitable for slow savoring.
