It is an understatement that the Hungarian people eat meat a lot: we’re indeed a meat-lover nation. If you want to dine where we do, visit any of the above mentioned places to eat and drink a lot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire Churrascaria Steakhouse<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

1052 Budapest, Pet\u0151fi t\u00e9r 3-5.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most exclusive restaurants in Budapest awaits its guest with the Brazilian style BBQ, a.k.a. more than 20 kinds of churrasco grilled meat and the authentic rod\u00edzio service. The former includes beef, pork, lamb and poultry on skewers barbecued separately over open fire, whereas rod\u00edzio service refers to the special mix of all-you-can-eat and \u00e1 la carte services originated in Latin-America. In the rod\u00edzio restaurants, the guests can get what they want from the buffet table that is fully packed with starters, salads and soups, then the waiters carrying the skewers will slice the meat at the table right onto the guests\u2019 plate \u2013 just like in Fire Churrascaria Steakhouse.<\/p>\n

You can try the Blue Cheese Filet Mignon, the Sweet-Chili Chicken Wings and in the evenings the Pork Shank among other individually flavoured masterpieces. Both garnish, including mashed potatoes with truffle, feta polenta and many others, and dessert are served from the \u00e1 la carte menu. Head to Pet\u0151fi t\u00e9r to experience the genuine Latino gastronomy!<\/p>\n

Belv\u00e1rosi Diszn\u00f3toros<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

1075 Budapest, Kir\u00e1ly utca 1.<\/em><\/p>\n

1053 Budapest, K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly utca 17.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to the two downtown locations of Belv\u00e1rosi Diszn\u00f3toros, you don\u2019t have to go all the way to the countryside to have authentic Hungarian sausages, pork knuckle, blood pudding and other grilled meats. Combining together the idea of a butcher\u2019s shop and a fast food restaurant, Belv\u00e1rosi Diszn\u00f3toros offers hearty and filling meaty treats, accompanied by a variety of salads and side dishes, which you can then consume at one of the standing tables, or order to go. A meat-cravers paradise, the two establishments are popular mostly among local office workers, so be prepared for a \u201ctiny\u201d queue if you decide to drop by in lunchtime. Who knows, you might bump into one of us in K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly utca!<\/p>\n

L\u00f3ca<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

1051 Budapest, Okt\u00f3ber 6. utca 3.<\/em><\/p>\n

Situated just a stone\u2019s throw away from St. Stephen\u2019s Basilica, L\u00f3ca has been enriching downtown Budapest\u2019s cavalcade of colorful culinary experiences since only a few months, but many restaurant-goers (including us) have already developed an affinity towards its authentic Hungarian cuisine. The reasons for that are manifold: it is one thing that the place itself is a piece of gastronomy heaven. It is another thing entirely that they really mean it when they\u2019re defining themselves as the keepers of Hungarian traditions: cultural artefacts and pieces of folk art surround the tables, folk motives are etched and painted onto the antique furniture (thanks to a traditionalist lady), and<\/p>\n

even the look of the drink list evokes a warm picture of the Hungarian countryside and its village beauty into one\u2019s mind.<\/h4>\n

Upon taking our seat on a l\u00f3ca (a kind of long Hungarian wooden furniture), we were greeted by a rich \u201cpeasant board\u201d, filled with sausages, cheese and vegetables, recommended to us by the restaurant manager, whose self-professed ethos is \u201cgood food, good wine, good owner\u201d. The Hungarian platter was followed up by a pot of steaming hot potato soup, accompanied by sausage and sour cream. Next, a large T-Bone steak was brought out by our attentive waiter, garnished with roasted potatoes and mixed salad. The juicy beef was done medium well and seasoned perfectly, culminating in delicious flavors in our mouth. Since there\u2019s no good Hungarian restaurant without a great fish dish, we decided to put our chef to the test and ordered a catfish filet prepared in K\u00e1rp\u00e1t-style. The touch of dill in the fish\u2019s creamy sauce is what earned this dish a gold medal from us.<\/p>\n

Our stay at L\u00f3ca was made perfect by the exquisite wines served by the waiter, all procured from outstanding Hungarian cellars, accentuating every hidden flavor in our dishes. If you want to have a wonderful meal in an authentic environment dining on hearty foods prepared from top quality ingredients, visit L\u00f3ca and spend a couple of hours in the countryside.<\/p>\n
