Mézes Kuckó

Top choice in Budapest


This hole-in-the-wall shop is the place to go if you have the urge for something sweet; its nut-and-honey cookies (280Ft per 100g) are to die for. A colourfully decorated mézeskalács (honey cake; 450Ft to 950Ft) in the shape of a heart makes a lovely gift. Four different types of honey (1700Ft to 2400ft) available too.
