Castle District
Where the beautiful set eat and sup, Zóna is as much an architectural triumph as a foodie magnet. The menu is succinct and nicely executed; we particularly like the goose breast, seldom-seen rabbit thigh and the selection of Hungarian cheeses paired with pear ice cream. There are burgers, too, if all you want is a quick bite.
Breakfast (2400Ft to 2900Ft) is available from 9am till noon daily. Midweek set lunch is 2990/3590Ft for two/three courses.
