"There’s always a contented buzz to this neighbourhood bistro on the Buda side of the Danube. It’s owned by the same team as Stand, so their ethos around quality is the same, and you’ll be looked after by a slick team.

The 18 Best Restaurants in Budapest, Hungary | Eater

"Stand25 is the restaurant of Hungarian celebrity chefs Szulló Szabina and Tamás Széll, the duo also in charge of the two-Michelin-starred Stand on the Pest side. Here, the focus is updated traditional Hungarian food. Must-tries include the goulash brightened with hints of chopped celery, layered potatoes, and túrógombóc, cottage cheese dumplings served for dessert with foamed sour cream and cherry preserves. Prices are steep, but the food is memorably delicious." - Tas Tobias
