Bob Pike (US) and Rainbow Jizz Concert - November 6
Musician Bob Pike has been an off-and-on fixture in Budapest for at least 10, maybe 15 years. I had heard about him from various friends but never met him until last year when he sat in for a few songs on mandolin with alt.country star Mookie Brando. It was great foot-stomping fun.Read more »

The riccotta stuffed ravioli with sage and butter was very good, but for about 6 pieces at 2400 huf it was outrageaously expensive.Read more »

I have been meaning to write up a little restaurant next door, for some months. A la galette
offers French crepes and cider in the heart of Budapest. The staff are very friendly, service is good, and it is probably one of only 2 non-smoking restaurants in Budapest. The average priceRead more »
Best lunch menu in Budapest
New York Pizza is a little gem hidden away about half-way up Szondi u. Both Chew.hu and the Budapest Times have given it rave reviews, especially the service. Well, I found the service aggressive and pushy. Maybe this is New York style and I have been in Hungary too long where there is usually the opposite problem - no service. But leaving the service aside, New York Pizza does a great lunch menu.Read more »
