Traditional Sweet Dishes
Dobos torte
Dobos torte was invented by pastry chef József Dobos in 1884 to create a cake with a longer shelf life, and its shiny caramel top doubled as both decoration and a moisture barrier.
Kürtőskalács
Kürtőskalács, or chimney cake, is baked on a spit over charcoal until the sugar forms a crackly caramel crust, and its rolled shape made it a favorite festival treat across Transylvania and Budapest.
Somlói galuska
Somlói galuska is a playful Hungarian trifle made from three types of sponge cake, rum-soaked raisins, walnuts and thick chocolate sauce, and it became a signature national dessert in the 20th century.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Gulyás
Gulyás began as a portable, one-pot meal cooked by cattle herders called gulyás, and its rich paprika-flavored broth is actually a stew in Hungary but is often served as a soup abroad.
Lángos
Lángos started as a way to use leftover bread dough and evolved into a beloved street food, usually fried until puffy and topped with sour cream, cheese or garlic.
Pörkölt
Pörkölt is Hungary's thick, paprika-forward meat stew, its name coming from the verb pörköl which means to roast, and it relies on slow simmering to create deep, savory flavor.
Traditional Beverages
Pálinka
Pálinka is a traditional fruit brandy protected by law in Hungary, and its long tradition celebrates regional fruits from plums to apricots in powerful, aromatic distillates.
Unicum
Unicum is a bitter herbal liqueur invented by the Zwack family in the late 18th century, and its secret blend of more than forty botanicals is still a guarded family recipe.
Tokaji wine
Tokaji wine, famed for its aszú sweets, is made with grapes affected by noble rot which concentrates sugars, and it earned the praise Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum, meaning wine of kings, king of wines.

Avoid eateries on Vaci utca and the main square, walk two blocks out for authentic food and much lower prices.
Loved the food scene, cheap street eats and great pastries. Weather was perfect in May, could've stayed longer.
Buy a 10-ride ticket pack or use contactless bank card on trams and metros, it saves money and skips paper-ticket hassles.
Expected more for the price, streets were dirty in spots and some restaurants pushed tourist menus. Not wowed.
Nightlife is fun but not cheap near the river. Some ruin bars felt overrated, still had a couple of memorable nights.
