This place may not look like much from the outside, particularly among the newer, trendier spots on Bartók Béla út, but it serves some of the most delicious authentic Balkan food in town. A Bulgarian known as Bárni is the proprietor, living out his dream of showcasing the chargrilled flavors of his childhood. The menu is very meat heavy, but the salads are good and there are tasty sides like peppers stuffed with feta cheese.
Hungary has no culinary tradition in hot-smoking meat, but BBQ restaurants have quickly won over the hearts and stomachs of Budapest diners. Smokey Monkies is a mini-chain of fantastically authentic American barbecue.
