Think you have a big appetite? I challenge you to finish a full meal at this place. I went with a group of about 10 people and none of us could finish. Situated down a side street near Vaci Utca, this restaurant serves huge (and I mean, huge) portions of traditional, Hungarian country food. Meals are based around vast quantities of meat, so not really suitable for vegetarians (though I think one of our group was vegetarian). Most of the food is served on wooden boards and often with nothing but a great big knife for cutlery.
The food itself is tasty and gives a new meaning to the words 'hearty cuisine' - you can almost hear your arteries harden as you tuck in. The service is somewhat brusque at times, but this just adds to the fun. Prices are reasonable and it has a really cosy atmosphere.
It does get ridiculously busy, so try and book ahead at weekends. And if you can't finish your meal they'll pack it up for you to eat in the morning (good for hangovers!).
Off Vaci Utca 67 in the city centre. It is down a side street, but the sign is quite visible from Vaci Utca; nearest metro: M1 Vörösmarty tér; tel: 1 266 2607
