Budapest: Cheap Eats

Budapest has culinary delights for every budget and palate.  Be sure to have some
langos (similar to an elephant ear with savory toppings, we like it with cheese and
sour cream) and sample some
palinka ( a local liquor similar to brandy).  Here are
some of our other favorites:

Traditional Hungarian:  Paprika, near Heroes Square and City Park.  This
restaurant is adorable and made up to look like a Hungarian cottage from long ago.  
Classic Hungarian dishes such as chicken
paprikas, stews (gulyas or goulash) and
desserts are served here in delicious and ample portions.

Café: Muvesz Kavehaz (Museum Coffeehouse), Andrassy ut 29. Just steps across
the street from the magnificent Opera House, this cafe makes you feel like you've
stepped into a different time.  Opulent decor, luscious sweets and good strong
coffee make a rainy afternoon a treat.

Mexican: The Iguana, Zoltán u. 16.  A watering hole for many of the British and
American expats, but still a delicious place to rest and recharge for the rest of your
sightseeing.  An easy walk from the Parliament or a slightly longer one from Deak
Ter.

Crepes: Granny's Pancake House (Nagyi Palacsintazoja), near the Batthyany
Ter (Square) and other locations as well.  Delicious crepes with both savory and
sweet fillings, and they have an English menu as well.
 

Pastries/Sweets: Augustz, Feny Utca 8.  Located behind the large Mammut
shopping center near Moskva Ter.  A perfect little sugar rush.
