Remíz

Óbuda & Buda Hills


Next to a tram depot (remíz) in the Buda Hills, this veritable though somewhat shabby institution remains popular for its reliable food (try the meats cooked on hot lava stones, especially the ribs; from 4580Ft) and verdant garden terrace. We love grilled ewe's milk cheese with roast veggies and cranberries (2920Ft) and the goose crackling (1980Ft). Portions are huge.
