Castle District


'Rumour' (not 'Fame'!) and its food are what’s on cognoscenti's lips in Budapest these days. An inventive menu of mostly fish and poultry displaying Asian influence (confit catfish with kohlrabi and white miso, dan dan noodles), though this wouldn't be Hungary if a pig's trotter (sertésláb) didn't make an appearance. Stylish, very classy decor, with shades of brown dominating.
