Restaurants<br />
Kacsa<br />
Kacsa means “duck” in<br />
Hungarian, so it’s easy to guess<br />
what dominates the menu here.<br />
Duck is served in many inventive<br />
guises, created by a brilliant chef.<br />
There is more than duck on offer,<br />
however, and the wine list is simply<br />
superb. d Map B3 • I, Fπ utca 75<br />

Rivalda<br />
Rivalda was voted “best<br />
restaurant in the city” from 2000<br />
to 2003. It is a casual but classy<br />
place, where the food is contemporary<br />
and the service very good.<br />

Gundel<br />
A Budapest legend, Gundel<br />

since the mid-19th century. The<br />

Vadrózsa Étterem<br />
Few restaurants in Budapest<br />
are as luxurious as the Vadrózsa,<br />
situated a fair distance from the<br />
city centre. Take the HÉV train to<br />
Margaret Bridge and then make<br />
your way by bus or taxi. d Map N1<br />

Vörös és Fehér<br />
This restaurant is so popular<br />
that it’s almost impossible to get<br />
in without a reservation. It was<br />
founded by Budapest’s wine society<br />
and has an excellent wine list.<br />
The international menu often<br />
steals the show from the wine.<br />

Jazz Garden<br />
Warm summer evenings<br />

Budapest’s best French<br />
