Fast & Flavorful: Black Cab Burger

Black Cab Burger brings London’s street food spirit to Ferencváros. Choose from premium beef, chicken, or salmon burgers—or go straight for the signature Cabbie Burger, stacked with cheddar, jalapeño, and crispy bacon. Hand-cut chips fried in peanut oil pair perfectly with Fuller’s beer or Crabbie’s ginger beer, while Frankfurt-style hot dogs offer a tasty alternative. A true Budapest stop for locals and tourists craving bold British bites.

Golden Escape: Rókusfalvy Inn, Etyek

The golden lights of the Indian summer are at their most beautiful in Etyek when seen from the atmospheric terrace of Rókusfalvy Inn: from here unfolds the rolling panorama of the vineyards, the sea of Swabian houses, and the silhouette of the Buda Hills. The Inn entices not only with its seasonal dishes and traditional Sunday lunches, but also with the way its terrace shows a different face at every time of day: peaceful coffee mornings, convivial wine-filled family lunches at noon, and a romantic refuge in the evening. It is a place where the golden lights of autumn are crowned by the landscape and warm hospitality.
