"Étkezdes are affordable, quick, lunch-only eateries in Hungary patronized mostly by locals (similar to osterias in Italy). Kívánság, located in a working-class Budapest neighborhood not far from the city center, is one of the best examples of this dying genre. The go-to meal here is the daily soup special followed by mátrai borzas: a crunchy, fried, potato-battered pork loin topped with sour cream and cheese and paired with a side of rice. Not much about the interior has changed since the opening in 1985, but that’s part of the appeal. Kívánság is open only on weekdays." - Tas Tobias
