The best Hungarian restaurants in Budapest

Time Out18 hours ago
Developed in the later 1800s, rediscovered in the early 2000s, Hungarian cuisine has the same peasant roots as its French counterpart. It relies on prime meat and top-quality naturally organic produce. Here in inland Hungary, freshwater fish is another staple. Classic dishes include chicken paprikash (paprikás csirke or csirkepaprikás), topped with another essential, sour cream (tejföl), which also tops töltött káposzta, stuffed cabbage in tomato sauce. There's goulash, of course, and halászlé, a spicy fish soup.
Where can I get good goulash in Budapest?
The one Hungarian dish everyone knows is goulash (gulyás), a paprika-flavoured soup filled with chunks of beef and potato, traditionally served in a small cauldron. Brought alongside will be a small dish of an even fierier paprika mix to add to the bowl at your peril. Because the best goulash is slow-cooked – its name refers to the herdsmen (gulyás) who would prepare it over an open fire – the places which do it well are fairly thin on the ground. Many of Budapest's best restaurants are more international in approach – find great goulash at the following select Hungarian-focused eateries.

Oldest living person turns 116

Ethel Caterham became the oldest living person in April after the death, aged 116, of Brazilian nun Sister Inah Canbarro Lucas. She will celebrate her birthday in a care home in Lightwater and take the day 'at her own pace' surrounded by her family. Ms Caterham was born on August 21 1909, in Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire, five years before the start of the First World War, as the second youngest of eight siblings. This makes her the last surviving subject of Edward VII. According to the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) she met her husband Norman, who was a major in the British Army, at a dinner party in 1931. They were stationed in Hong Kong and Gibraltar and had two children. Her husband died in 1976, the GRG said. A spokesperson for her care home said: 'Ethel and her family are so grateful for all of the kind messages and interest shown to her as she celebrates her 116th birthday this year. 'Ethel has again chosen not to give any interviews, preferring to spend the day quietly with her family so that she can enjoy it at her own pace. 'The King may be her one concession, understandably. Thank you again for your kind wishes on this special day.' Last year Ms Caterham was sent a birthday card by the King to mark her 115th birthday. The title of the oldest person ever is held by French woman Jeanne Calment, who lived to 122 years 164 days, according to Guinness World Records.
