"Hungarian cuisine in the historical Buda Castle Grandma's homestyle Hungarian kitchen, using the best ingredients, with love and care. Pest-Buda Bistro is one of the oldest restaurants in Hungary. The building was originally built as an inn, opened in 1696 and has been used as such until 1800. It has an original baroque roof structure and the ground floor was a tavern or restaurant for several centuries. The restaurant was renovated and reopened and pays tribute to the traditional home-style Hungarian cuisine with fantastic Hungarian classics such as catfish paprikash with homemade cottage cheese pasta, chicken paprikash, stuffed cabbage, and braised pork."
