Fricska means “jape”, mischief or a prank. This philosophy is immediately apparent when you enter this culture-pub, situated right on the banks of the Séd brook. A curious mixture of an old vernacular house and a “pub ruin,” it offers street food (sandwiches and cakes) as well as a daily menu. Books on the shelves, cozy pillows and games, occasional reading evenings, concerts and children’s activities all combine to guarantee a good time.

2. Marica Bar and Restaurant

Bar, Restaurant, Coffee, Hungarian, European

Situated right on the city’s promenade, Marica is the perfect place to enjoy watching the world go by. When the weather gets warmer, you can sit on the terrace while enjoying a glass of rosé or a cold beer. The spacious interior even includes toys and a menu of special meals for children.

3. Dekanter bistro

Bistro, European, Fusion, Beer

At the foot of the Castle, this bistro offers a good selection of wines along with the panoramic view. Take a seat on the cobblestone terrace with a glass of Chardonnay and just watch the people going by. If you get hungry, there is a fine selection of luxurious foods, from roasted duck breast to gnocchi, and if you fell in love with one or two of the wines, you can buy a bottle to take home.

4. Skorpió Irish Pub

Pub, Irish

Situated in the middle of the city center yet away from the bustling traffic, this Hungarian-Irish pub provides a relaxing place to stop for a while. The antique furniture, old pictures and higgledy-piggledy space inside take you back to days gone by. Have a glass of Hungarian wine or English cider, or even try a glass of “green fairy,” absinthe.

Kávé és teaház az Íródeákhoz

This café, standing in the library’s garden, is a hidden, cozy spot for tea or hot chocolate, or even for a good shot of spirits. The interior is full of books lining a semi-shaded space which you can enjoy while sitting on soft cushions. The coffee is good too, and every milky drink can be prepared with lactose-free milk.
