Free-range chicken, sea bass, juicy rib eyes and burgers sizzle on the charcoal grill at this excellent restaurant. Hungarian classics are also well represented, with several vegetarian dishes completing the picture. If you're not peckish, you might make your way to the atmospheric wine bar instead to sample tipples from all over Central Europe.
