Kispiac

Top choice in Budapest

LoginSave

This small retro-style restaurant – an absolute favourite – serves seriously Hungarian things like stuffed csülök (pig's trotter – and way better than it sounds, 2950Ft), roast malac (piglet, 3250Ft) and the ever-popular wild boar spare ribs (3950Ft), as well as an infinite variety of savanyúság (pickled vegetables). Perfectly selected wine list and a warm welcome.

The owner's grandmother's plum jam roly-poly (szilvalekváros derelye) will be your dessert of choice. Kispiac is next to the Belvárosi Piac.
