From the inevitable beer terrace in balsamic stew to the historic Buda restaurant, here are our favorite places to be in Budapest this summer!
KEG Brewery
After a nice walk in Buda, after wandering around Gellért Hill, KEG Sörművház awaits you every day of the week with a cozy terrace surrounded by chestnut trees. No fewer than 32 tap ales and freshly-pulled thirst-quenchers are just the beginning, as a four-course lunch menu during the day and seasonal dishes in the evening welcome gourmets who want to unwind.
At KEG, you can sample small-batch craft beers from our country, as well as from many parts of the world, along with burgers, seasonal dishes, summer desserts, beer skates, and roasted malts in the form of a KEG.
In addition to their popular programming, cozy balcony, cool cellar, and show that caters to all needs, in 2023 it’s also worth raising our beer-full of glass to the fact that this year it’s been 5 years since DC was a lost venue like KEG, revived by good friends. .

Edes Mackó Trumpet cake shop
In the Édes Mackó store, which celebrates its fifth birthday this year, desserts and delicacies made from trumpet cakes are baked with the same – if not more – enthusiasm than in summer. In addition to the traditional trumpet cakes and flavors, for example, this time you can also dip your favorite trumpet cakes in different layers in fondue mode. You can treat yourself to some heavenly, crunchy kürtősbons, but you can also kick back with an iced Magnum coffee.
In addition to the usual sweets and desserts, there are of course also refreshing summer novelties. The Peach Blossom dessert will decorate every sweet tooth’s plate like flower petals for a piping cake topped with peach frosting. But ice cream lovers don’t have to walk from the sunny terrace to Városliget, where you can sample a cool summer dessert served with trumpet cake.

Roma Food Bar
Róma Ételbár welcomes its guests with its open doors every day of the week, tables adorned with checkered tablecloths, and endless love. In the warm and homey restaurant, which is modern and in a way evocative of the past, the delicacies that live in our memories are lined up one after another. Roma turns any weekday brunch into a Sunday feast, from golden gravy, heavenly chicken paprikash, and pakka meat with rice and zucchini soup to soft cheese fritters. But if you just want spaghetti potatoes, it’s also good to know: It’s no coincidence that every road to Budapest leads to Rome.

Alessio
You don’t even have to go next door to get the heavenly flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean, just go to the dear and beloved Italian restaurant in Pasaret. In addition to Alessio’s daily offering, his food, drinks and hospitality invite you on a gastronomical journey into Italy from the first minute. Just one spoonful of Mediterranean fish soup is enough to sweep you off your feet, but the same goes for the spicy shrimp and chili peppers, as well as the locally seasoned and stuffed noodles. Of course, don’t forget to plan your trip to them even if you want to party, relax, and enjoy some dull discussion.

praises
Every day except Sunday, the ovens in Salvi in Thaly Kálmán utca are glowing and ceaselessly churning out the most delicious Neapolitan pizza. For breakfast, they treat people on the street to excellent coffee and focaccia sandwiches, and starting at 11:30, all eyes are on delicacies made from long-leavened pizza dough. You can start or end the day here with the wonders of round pasta, Italian flavors and refreshments mixed Salve style, but if you listen to us, come back month after month for their seasonal specialities.

FIRST Craft Beer & BBQ
The terrace of FIRST Craft Beer & BBQ, one of the largest craft breweries in the country, invites you to relax under the iconic arch of the always sparkling Madách tér. Filled with string lights and green plants, the beer terrace will captivate you in no time with its urban atmosphere and unique food and drink offerings. In addition to icy cold draft and glass beers, guests will be swept off their feet with refreshing cocktails and lemonades, as well as great barbecue dishes. Among the latter, it would be a mistake to miss out on the Grilled Chicken Wings with Creamy Coleslaw!
