Only the best things to do in Budapest
Due to the current situation that has been going on for the past year, unfortunately, we had no chance to travel and make new posts on Budapest.
We hope, that the situation will get better very soon, and are eager on updating with some fresh posts.
Stay safe!
Another brilliant escape experience, this time @mystiqueroom. Fantastic design, tricky game elements in the Time Machine room. We’d recommend it to mid- to advanced level players. Price/value 10/10 (for two players it costs approximately 13.000 HUF = 38 EUR as of Jan 2020)
We stayed in this lovely place for the very first time and at the end of our BP weekend it turned out to be a great choice. The hotel is located right in the very center of Budapest, a few steps from Deák & Vörösmarty squares. An ideal place to stay if you plan to visit the traditional Christmas market in December. Clean room with surprisingly quiet environment. The staff is friendly and we also liked the quick and smooth check-in/out which was appr 2 minutes.
A rare fine-dining place that made you feel in the golden era of Buda. Live piano music and great international menu options with a light kiss of Hungarian cuisine. Pricy, elegant, cosy. The restaurant also provides brunch/breakfast options.
Witty traps, a classic 1st generation escape room in the heart of the “party district of Budapest” – right in the middle of Gozsdu udvar. Smaller teams or a couple can play the room. Great value for money entertainment.
Just cannot get enough of the quality and mesmerizing Goulash soup – this time from @konyvbar This cozy restaurant excels not only with the gourmet food selection but the level of creativity they inject in the concept of restoration. Literally, every month a new book is on the table – where all the little details including the menu are meant to bring the book to life. International cuisine, with a taste of Hungary. This January (2020) book lovers can “eat” J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!
A family-owned Hungarian bistro with a taste of France. While our favorite dish is nowadays the wild boar stew, their onion soup is just wow. A cozy place, a great choice for family anniversaries, romantic dinners. Rather a high-end place, pricy but worth it. @Déryné Bistro
New York Café in Budapest became a true tourist attraction. It is rather common to see people queuing up in front of the entrance. But once you got in, the classy and elegant café makes you feel the 19th century chic of the capital. A bit pricey, the food, the pastry was OKish, but the interior design is what really amazed us.
There has been a lot changed when it comes to the art of gastronomy in Hungary. As Budapest took off as a favorite destination to visit, we witness a boom in the restaurant business as well. For Hungarians, it is hard to beat mom’s kitchen – especially when it comes to traditional dishes like Gulyás soup, pancakes (palacsinta), stuffed cabbage (töltött káposzta) and sponge cake (somlói galuska). Well, Tamás and Szabina made it. We got lost in the process to re-discover the old good flavors while enjoying the refreshing new concept of these Hungarian specialities. @Stand25Bisztó we got it all 🙂 Gulyás soup fan factory.
While our most loved bath in Budapest is Rudas, still this beautifully architected landmark of the city is a must-visit. Most of the tourists @Széchenyi are coming from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Russia. Another cool thing to try it the so-called Sparties, during the weekend the pools are open until dawn, hosting a big (foam) party.
