1. Aranysárkány
$$$ | |A favorite of early-20th-century Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy, the Golden Dragon restaurant has been welcoming locals and tourists for decades. Set within a small, sloped-roof house, it's known for its charming Hungarian decor and its meat- and fish-heavy menu; highlights include the velős pirítós (bone marrow on toast), sárkányerøleves (dragon's bouillon) with quail eggs, and mézes-mázas libasteak (honey-glazed goose steak). The extensive wine list offers the inquisitive palate a good sampling of local Hungarian viniculture.
Alkotmány utca 1/a, Szentendre, Pest, 2000, Hungary26-301--479Known For
- Serves international cuisine (not, as the name suggests, Chinese food)
- Extensive wine list with many Hungarian choices
- Reservations a must in summer

2. Csülök Csárda
$$$ | |With its hearty Hungarian fare, rustic atmosphere, and unbeatable location in full view of the basilica, the Pork Knuckle Tavern has long been popular with locals and visitors alike. Knuckles are, of course, the specialty here, and if you've never tried this succulent dish, now's your chance. Bean soup with knuckle is enough for a small meal but to really fill up, try the Baking Dish Knuckle: smoked, sliced pork knuckle fried with potatoes and smothered with a garlicky sour cream sauce and served in a baking dish with bacon bits sprinkled on top.
Batthyány Lajos utca 9, Esztergom, Komárom-Esztergom, 2500, Hungary33-412--420Known For
- Pork knuckle in many varieties and forms
- Basic tavern atmosphere
- Few options for vegetarians

3. Macok
$$$ | |Considered one of the best restaurants not only in Eger but in the whole of Hungary, Macok is the city's most coveted dining experience. Yet it isn't formal and stuffy: this is a playful, colorful, and elegant bistro offering a menu full of upscale comfort food, including confit duck leg with cabbage-flavored pasta, Angus sirloin steak with toasted potatoes, and risotto with porcini mushrooms. As this is Eger, wine also plays an important part on the menu, with vintages culled from the best Eger has to offer.
Tinódi Sebestyén tér 4, Eger, Heves, 3300, Hungary36-516--180Known For
- Best dining option in Eger
- Great location at the foot of the castle
- Wines from the renowned St. Andrea vineyards
-
4. Prímás Pince
$$$ | |Its dramatic setting under soaring vaulted ceilings in the old basilica's cellar is just one of this contemporary dining room's many attractions. Add an enticing menu of Hungarian and international dishes, the city's best wine selection (with information boards on all of the country's distinct wine-growing regions), and surprisingly low prices, and you've got the top choice in town. Dishes change seasonally, but there is always a good mix of delicious meat, fish, and vegetarian options that aspire to something beyond your average fare, always fresh and well prepared. If it's on the menu when you visit, opt for the fluffy pancakes stuffed with paprika chicken, spinach, and sour cream. Though popular, the space is big enough never to feel crowded.
Szent István tér 12, Esztergom, Komárom-Esztergom, 2500, Hungary33-541--965Known For
- Spectacular cellar setting with shimmering chandeliers
- Dishes like roast duck leg and baked trout
- Draws crowds but never feels crowded

5. Fuji Japan
$$$ | Buda Hills |An aura of calm permeates this excellent, long-standing Japanese restaurant in the affluent Rószadomb district of Upper Buda. Comfortable club chairs and big windows make you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Pest. Tables are set a comfortable distance apart, so that you can watch the Japanese and Hungarian chefs work their craft in this full-service restaurant. Sushi and sashimi are expertly prepared, as are other Japanese specialties such as teriyaki tenderloin with sesame and mushroom tempura. There's even a separate dining room where you can eat at low tables, in traditional Japanese style.

6. Gerlóczy
$$$ | Belváros |The wicker chairs and café tables of this elegant brasserie, on a quiet and leafy square tucked behind Váci utca, are reminiscent of a scene out of a French movie; the summer terrace is about the prettiest location for lunch in Budapest. At other times of year, visitors can still enjoy the seasonal Hungarian favorites, like sült libacomb (crispy goose leg) in winter and asparagus soup in the spring, in the Parisian bistro-style interior.
Gerlóczy utca 1, Budapest, Budapest, 1052, Hungary1-501–4000Known For
- Seasonal French and Hungarian dishes
- Budapest's fluffiest breakfast croissants
- Lovely terrace

7. Kéhli
$$$ | Óbuda |This pricey but laid-back, sepia-toned neighborhood tavern is on a hard-to-find street near the Óbuda end of the Árpád Bridge. Practically all the food here arrives in huge servings, which was just the way that Hungarian writer Gyula Krúdy (to whom the restaurant is dedicated) liked it when he was a regular customer. Dishes like the hot pot with marrowbone and toast, or lecsó (a stew with a base of onions, peppers, tomatoes, and paprika) are great comfort food on a cool day, and Romani music livens up the place in the evenings.
Mókus utca 22, Budapest, Budapest, 1036, Hungary1-368–0613Known For
- Traditional Hungarian food
- Bone marrow with garlic on toast
- Romani music

8. Korona Étterem
$$$ | |Whether you dine in the downstairs vault, the cheerful upstairs dining rooms, or the pretty garden, this kind of simple down-home cooking—hearty plates of chicken stew thick with vegetables, stuffed pork chops, or noodles smothered in a creamy sauce of mushroom and paprika—hits the spot every time. In summer, try the refreshing cold cherry soup, a local specialty.
Szent István király út 6, Kalocsa, Bács-Kiskun, 6300, Hungary78-463–102Known For
- Home-style cooking with lots of paprika and mushrooms
- Cold cherry soup
- Garden dining in summer

9. Régimódi
$$$ | | Eastern EuropeanThis restaurant, which has an excellent wine list and specializes in fish and game dishes, is practically on Fø tér. Lace curtains, antique knickknacks, and lovely old paintings give the small upstairs dining room—which is air-conditioned and no-smoking—a homey intimacy; and, perhaps, the restaurant its name: Old-Fashioned (in the best sense, mind you). The downstairs dining room also has a certain antiques-induced charm to it, while the comparatively colorless seating out front carries only the advantage of allowing you to people-watch. The summer terrace, likewise upstairs, is a delightful place to dine alfresco and look out over the red-tile rooftops.

10. Trattoria PomoD'oro
$$$ | St. Stephen's Basilica |Real Italian pizzas made to order in a brick oven attract a hungry business crowd during the week. Weekends find just as many people enjoying pastas like ravioli with Gorgonzola and walnut sauce or the "priest strangler"—homemade pasta in tomato ragout flambéed with Parmesan cheese. It makes quite a spectacular presentation. The seating here has rustic tables on many levels fenced in by wrought iron. Exposed bricks and hanging plants give the place a Tuscan patio feel.
Arany János utca 9, Budapest, Budapest, 1051, Hungary1-302–6473Known For
- Large menu of grilled foods and pizzas
- Good selection of both Italian and Hungarian wines
- Rustic Tuscan decor

11. Trattoria Toscana
$$$ | |Visiting Italians tell us this popular trattoria feels pretty authentic, with its bustling waiters, rustic interior, and wooden tables filled with families on Sunday. An antipasti bar in front overflows with marinated artichokes, white-bean salad, and other classic Tuscan treats, and there's a well-worn brick pizza oven in back. The extensive menu boasts some of the best fish in town, including several sea bass options. The little understood mozzarella ventigli pasta with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh oregano (homemade cheese-filled ravioli with garlicky tomatoes and lots of oregano) is a dish to die for.
