Pántlika

Budapest


For a place housed in a communist-era kiosk dating back to the 1970s with a bizarre flyaway roof, this DJ bar and cafe is very hip and has a great terrace. Food – soups, stews, hamburgers and pulled pork (1690Ft to 2590Ft) – emerges from a tiny kitchen, and the selection of pálinka (fruit brandy) is extensive. It’s opposite XIV Hermina út 47.
