Standing at the foot of the castle walls, this former baroque building merges the heritage of the past with tasteful modern elegance. Given that the restaurant is in the heart of the city, the castle and the marvelous park alongside brook Séd are easily accessible, ideal for a little walk after lunch. The menu changes with the seasons so, for example, winter is associated with foie gras with lecsó, or catfish with paprika and dill-flavored cottage cheese pastry.

Elefánt Restaurant

Restaurant, Italian, European

The Elefánt (Elephant) has always been a fresh spot on Óváros (Old city) square. With a continually changing décor, it is equally capable of surprising regular guests as well as visitors, but there are some things that don’t change, check out the aquarium with the friendly fish on the wall. You can choose from either the a la carte or daily menu, or top off the day with a great coffee or hot chocolate. During the summer, there is a nice patio area from which you can admire the beautiful historical buildings.

Historante

Restaurant, American, Soup

This restaurant put a lot of effort and consideration into the creation of its quality cuisine, a repertoire which delights all who sample the fantastic, fresh meals. The chefs like to preserve traditional tastes, but they also do not stint in their presentation of modern gastronomy. An important part of their philosophy is to cook using local produce. This attention to detail is tangible when you taste the cockerel soup with thyme, or the pullet fillet baked in a Parmesan crust, or the broccoli-filled raviolis bathed in a buttery almond sauce.

Fricska means ‘fillip’, mischief that causes funny moments for both the perpetrator and the victim. This philosophy can be understood instantly when you enter this culture-pub right at the bank of Séd brook.

Books on the shelves, cozy pillows and games, sometimes reading evenings, concerts and children’s programs guarantee a good time.

Marica Bar And Restaurant

Bar, Restaurant, Coffee, Hungarian, European
