The food. Oh, the food.<\/p>\n
Gerl\u00f3czy restaurant rocked my world<\/a>. The broccoli cream soup with the big lump of ricotta cheese in the middle as an appetizer, followed by a main dish of white fish on top of polenta, covered in a mustard sauce, was so freakin’ phenomenal that the chocolate mousse dessert was anti-climatic — and if you know how much I love chocolate, you know what I’m saying. I’m still in a daze over that meal.<\/p>\n The night before, we ate at Centr\u00e1l K\u00e1v\u00e9h\u00e1z<\/a>, where I had “free range chicken paprika with noodles” (not sure if the chicken or the paprika was free range), which was actually in a beautiful paprika sauce, and was absolutely delicious. And the night before THAT, I had pumpkin soup with roasted seeds at Menza<\/a> which also rocked my world (we talked about it all week).<\/p>\n Updated: We also ate at a place called Hummus, a Hare Krishna restaurant near the Danube; excellent Indian-style vegetarian cuisine (but not very spicey) and reasonable prices. And today I ate at an Italian sandwich restaurant called Pomo D’Oro, which was outstanding<\/span> (get the lox sandwich!)<\/p>\n Budapest may have the best overall cuisine I have ever encountered anywhere on Earth. Come to Hungary hungry. Seriously.<\/p>\n
