Guidebook for Budapest
Food Scene
Lovely traditional Hungarian pastry shop - one of the best around really. Cakes and decent coffee as well. Try rétes (Hungarian strudel), beigli (Winter time pastry with poppy seed or nut) etc. Small place but great for getting your breakfast supplies! Open 8-6pm on weekdays and 10-6pm on the week-end (including on Sunday).

All right, this place (10min fron the house) has become a Budapest symbol. It's a ruin bar set in a beautiful but crumbling house of the Jewish district. Bohemian atmosphere and LOADS of foreigners (it became touristy in the past few years). For a more local feeeling go there to shop at their very nice farmers' market on Sunday from 9 till 2pm.
