                <description><![CDATA[Fatal actually means wooden plate in Hungarian but the portions may well prove life-threatening. <br><br>Located in Pest off the Vaci Utca, the restaurant is easy to find, cheap and offers huge traditional meals, mostly cooked and served in the dish dish, atop of a wooden plate.<br><br>I had the pork knuckle and only got halfway - highly recommended but book in advance if you're going in the evening.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This website is about the real Budapest, and gives very interesting background details about the history, culture and architecture of this beautiful capital which is slowly losing some of its unique features (old presszo bars, neon signs, dingy borozos) as it changes into a modern European metropolis. Written by a Hungarian speaker, the articles featured go behind the facade and into much more detail than a guide book could manage.<br>It has a wealth of information for people who really love Budapest and want to know the city better.<br>Check out the recent story on the Trabants - really interesting!]]></description>

Wander round the many stalls, and if nothing else, at least buy a colourful string or two of chillies to take home. Take a little care of your possessions, but get stuck in.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A tiny cosy traditional patisserie and coffee shop on Buda hill in the castle close to the exuberant neo-gothic Mathias church. After a walk round the Royal Palace or the cobbled streets and quirky aristocrats' houses, indulge in a cherry brandy chocolate and cream coffee, with raspberry torte, and drift back a century or two. Especially nice in winter, and more chance of getting a table.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A reasonably priced and enjoyable restaurant on the Pest side and just south of the popular tourist areas. <br><br>Home-brewed beer, which you can have in litre sized glasses if you want (and at about £2.70 a litre at May 2007 exchange rates). Ask the band for your favourite tune.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The European flagship of the Four Seasons chain. Recently renovated to its glorious, Art Nouveau best. <br><br>Stunning all the way I'm sure, but I've only been in for tea, as I'm a poor student and not a millionaire, like you. I ate in the bar area, which is beautiful, and the food was good and the service impeccable.<br><br>Wish I could afford to stay there. Donations on a post card to...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A very good place to eat, in Buda. Easily reached from Moskva ter by bus 22 or tram 56. The conservatory is particularly pleasant, and the daily specials outstanding. I was there (several times!) in the autumn, but apparently in the season the garden is open and the barbecue going. One of my favourite restaurants in a city of excellent food.]]></description>
