Wang Mester

Budapest


A short walk from the southeastern corner of City Park, this minimalist, pretty authentic restaurant serves dishes from across China with an emphasis on Sichuanese classics, such as gung bao prawns (4390Ft) and mapo tofu (tofu in a spicy sauce. 2790Ft). Brick walls and dark-wood furniture make for an elegant atmosphere, with a counter kitchen where the chefs work magic. Popular with local Chinese.
