Best Restaurants in Budapest

Sure it's not easy to find the best restaurants in Budapest Hungary, not only because tastes and wallets differ, but because there are not many good guides that are customized for You (that's an inherent semantic problem I guess). The present list is a combination of several respected and received lists offering the top dining places in Budapest Hungary.

First, the internationally recognized Michelin guide on Budapest. Then there's the Hungarian culinary blog, Chew, which has got a continuously updated collection of the Top 33 restaurants, based on which I have attempted to make a user-friendly quick restaurant guide on Budapest Blog, taking the nationality feature as the leading thread (within that: alphabetical order).

If you click on the individual restaurants you will get a quick overview of each dining place: basic info (address, phone, opening hours, etc.), general atmosphere description, a characteristic photo and a map - contextualized in the major Budapest attractions (also pointing out what places of interest you may find worth checking out).
