Bölcső Bar

$$ | Gellérthegy

Sometimes you just need a good burger and a great beer, and Bölcső delivers. For that reason, and its proximity to the nearby university buildings, it can be busy with students in the evening, but for lunch it's a relaxed stop. In warm weather, you can sit out on the street.

West Kiraly BRGR

$$$

Probably the best burger joint in town, West Kiraly BRGR has a huge menu of perfectly grilled patties, as well as special editions like a beef brisket burger and a pulled pork burgeras well as a "beyond vegan" option. All the burgers are available in three different sizes, according to appetite, while there are also sandwiches and ciabattas available. Everything is delicious but also expensive, especially as sides like fries and coleslaw cost extra. Factor in a few drinks (choose from local wines or Czech and German beers) and you can anticipate a sizeable final bill.

Király utca 1, 9021, Hungary
30-228–8700
Known For
  • Delicious eight-hour-cooked pulled pork burger
  • Whole-wheat and gluten-free buns available
  • Very expensive by local standards
