Yes, show more Hungarian food videos! 🌻👍
Most nézd meg mit csináltál, most éhes vagyok 😂 Remek videó.... köszi
Köszönjük a támogatást! Örülünk hogy tetszett a videó! :)
I'm so happy I found your channel. I am literally watching all your videos about Budapest so we can make our next visit to Budapest in June even more spectacular then the first one few years back when we fell in love with Budapest on our first visit. Thank you for your great work and very helpful information. Greetings from Uk🎉😊
Thank you for your message! :) Its great to see that you are coming back to Budapest, and really happy to see that our content can help with planning that next trip :)
The food is so good. I need to try all of it. Frici papa is a great restaurant 👌
As half Dutch/Hungarian I cook Hungarian dishes at least two times a week, from the simple ones to complicated and time consuming ones (the latter mostly in the weekends because good Hungarian cooking is mostly slow cooking). I love every Hungarian dish, even kocsonya, which non of my (Dutch) friends even dare to try (it sounds like vomit in Dutch 😂). I always have homemade savanyúság to go with the dishes, káposzta, uborka, paradicsom, karfiol, retek és vegyes saláta.
Luckily I can get all my Hungarian food stuff and ingredients from a (web)shop over here in the Netherlands. The owner drives to Hungary every weekend to buy everything, even turó. You have to be quick for turó though, most of the time it’s already sold out on Tuesdays. If anyone reading this would like to try Hungarian cooking, please try to get some real Hungarian paprika (powder), it tastes so much better than the red muck they sell in the supermarkets over here!
Μy favourite dishes, apart from the ones in the video (I make them all regularly and I really love lecsó, for breakfast, lunch or dinner), so many. But if I have to name a few: csontleves májas gombóccal, hideg cseresznye leves, töltött paprika, rakott krumpli, paprikás krumpli, rántott csirke és Bécsi szelet, turós tészta, májas hurka, Bakonyi szertésszelet, csigány és csángó pecsenye, lángos (az eredeti, ahogy nagymama készítette; nem az, ami pizzává változott), mindféle rétes (nagymama túrós rétese volt a legfinomabb, amit valaha ettem), flódni, vargabéles, beigli … Túl sok, hogy megemlítsem.
As is the case in most places: I would recommend anyone to have dinner outside of the city centre or touristy places. You get better food most of the time for a lot lower price. One of my favourite restaurants is “A Harapó Mókus” in Óbuda. It’s a bit out of the way (though easily reachable by tram 1, 17, 19 or 41) but I never had better food in Budapest. Downside for tourists is that the menu is in Hungarian only so keep Google translate or DeepL handy.
To Stuffed Cabbage: love your channel, keep it up!
I got hungry as I went through your comment! Thank you so much! I used to go Mókus Vendéglő pretty frequently some years ago, I always enjoyed it, so thanks for reminding me, need to visit again 😊
Oh, but how could I forget my favorite deserts: Somlói galuska and Gundel palacsinta!
Throughout my life I have cooked countless chicken paprikas, lecsós, pörkölts. Stuffed cabbage is also very popular here in Poland. By the way, we call pörkölt... "gulasz". Thanks for the list of restaurants. I'm going to check some of them in spring.
Yeah, Gulyás/Goulash is all over eastern Europe but everybody has their own special take on it, like the ones in Prague are also very nice but far from what we label here as Gulyás :) I hope you'll enjoy some of the restaurants we mentioned when you visit :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures I had it in Prague too but in Budapest was so good. My first time trying this delicious food 👍
well, i see i must say goodbay to my diet on a nex week holidays in Budapest😅 thank you for video, brilliant!
Thanks for sharing this, very well explained. As a Hungarian myself I have been making these dishes to my foreign friends, and now my Husband knows as well about Hungarian cuisine, he loves the variety of flavours, never bored with the spicy and delicious dishes that I make. We became vegan/vegetarian but still
I’m cooking the meatless versions of the traditional meals. But I can say once you taste our specialities you will never forget the taste of it 😋👩🏻🍳
Another delicious video!:) Thank you, we can't wait to try those next week:) And yes, please make another video with even more Hungarian dishes!:) Greetings from Greece, Mirella and Panos
The few dishes I had while visiting Budapest were delicious! But I was so surprised how incredibly delicious the chimney cake was I think you could do a whole video on just the different places that make it
Oh yes, Chimney cake is delicious 😊 really love the Walnut and the Cinnamon flavoured ones 😋
Thanks a lot for this nice video - looking forward for your next video about food :)
Really helpful as I plan our visit - thank you 🤤
Great video and great information thank you
I rented a room in a families house: and they made eery day Letcho with Eggs aside as Breakfast - it was soooo good.
Like your video! I've been to Budapest three times! There's a popular food stall in Central Market and I love to eat there all the time. As you mentioned the chicken paprika was lovely and the stuffed cabbage was as well.😋
After 1 Week in Hungaria I get 10 Pounds weightgain as they served so delicious food. Had to ride my bicicle very long to get the pounds shredded - but that was worth it.
Great...now i am hungry! 😊
that was the goal😂
Thank you for your great videos🇭🇺😊
Thanks for all your great videos and information about Budapest.one my way to Budapest for the first time in febuary.cheers from Iceland
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the videos! I hope you'll enjoy your time here in the city when you come in February :)
My mom and I will be visiting Budapest this spring. I'm so happy I found your channel a few months ago to help me prepare for our trip. I'm going to leave the city so full of all the delicious dishes you described. I can't wait & Thank You!
Thank you for the kind message! I hope your trip will be full of fun and delicious experiences 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for this video. It’s really helpful!
Watching this at midnight is not a good idea, got me feeling really hungry xD
Please make a video on street food :)
Thank you for your enthusiasm and honesty about Budapest. Your videos made our first visit to Budapest a very wonderful and pleasant experience.
Thank you so much for the kind message! Happy to hear you had a wonderful time in the city :) Hope to see you back in Budapest one day :)
I will be going to Budapest later this year and have been watching all your videos for research. So excited to try out these foods!
Happy to hear! I hope you'll have a great time here and will enjoy the food as well 😊
Love food 😋 More videos please
Jó ez a kis hunglish, ment a like! :)
Köszike! :D
I'm coming to Budapest for a week later on in the year, Watching these videos makes me so excited for the food.
Happy to hear you find these useful! I hope you'll enjoy your time here when you come 😊
Matrai badass 🤣😆
maybe after this, Restaurants will change the english translation in on their Menu 😂
There is a dish in Poland, called gołąbki (literally little doves, I have no idea why) that is very similar to the stuffed cabbage you showed in the video. When I will be in Budapest I have to try them and compare. Also goulash and lecso are very popular in Poland, but probably taste different. I have to try them too.
I have a good friend who is Polish, he mentioned the Golabki to me too, and that each year when he visits family at Christmas time he needs to make Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage for them 😂 not saying it's better at all, but funny that they enjoy it so much 😊 but next time I'm in Poland I will have to try Golabki 😉
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures
Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát
That's what I've been learning from kindergarten 👍
I tried goulash was so good
I've tried only two of these dishes during my recent visit to Budapest, so I think I've just found one more reason to come to Hungary again!
Glad to hear that! It is one of our purpuse with this video to show people all the different kinds of dishes that can be tried here, and to have more reason to come back 😀
Great videos. Where are some good places for libamaj? I have had it at Kiskakutt and Paprika. Kosz!
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
BEST food for Me in Hungary-BONE MARROW ,,Getto Gulyas,, 😙😋🤤
Dziekuje! That is indeed a tasty one :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures👍🙂 Köszönöm ✌
Langosh very good as well,
5 hónapja jöttem el otthonról Spanyolországba és piszkosul hiányzik egy jó kis pörkölt nokedlivel, amit a nagymamám csinál, nincs párja a világon, pazar videó!
Köszi! 😊 Hát igen, a nagyszülők és szülők főzését nehezen verik meg a klasszikus éttermek vagy csárdák 😊
I live in Western Europe. The goulash I know is more like a stew and saucy. We eat it with rice and add sweat peas. Don't ask me why. But it's good. Maybe it resembles pörkölt more than it does goulash? Whenever I make it myself, I add lots of smoked paprika powder and a little garlic.
Megtaláltam a mai 4 feladatot
As a Hungarian, thanks for this. Now I’m going to go and make some gulyas.
Jó Étvágyat :)
Nice video! Can you suggest some restaurants where you can find these traditional dishes and maybe accompanied with some folk music? I'm visiting Budapest next week!
Hey there! To be honest, when we talk about folk music in restaurants in most cases those will be gypsy bands playing music (which is part of our culture indeed and is nice to listen to). But having a band play usually requires space and is expensive for the restaurants, so perhaps only a few places do this and those will have a higher price tag. There is Kacsa Étterem on Buda side which looks to still have regular Live Music. New York Cafe regularly has Gypsy music being played by a band, but I would only go there for the Architecture and maybe 1 coffee and a cake. This practice of having a band playing in a restaurant is more often found in the countryside these days.
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thank you very much for your advice! Your videos have been very helpful to me! I watched the majority of them in one day and I have made an idea! Keep this great work!
Olyan érthetően beszélsz angolul , hogy én , mint kezdő angoltanuló mindennap megnézem néhány videódat. " Még , még , még , ennyi nem elég ."
My lovely hungarian lady has made several vegetarian versions of some of these, her stuffed cabbage is amazing. I eat fish but hate Carp which is everywhere and often full of bones. Had a woodland mushroom ghoulash in Budapest that was awesome. Being an utter pain in the arse I don't like deep fried food very much either, I'll run from the breaded deep fried cheese but an slowly learning to embrace LANGOS. The buckets of lightly pickled vegetables from the supermarket are my favorite thing and always get a bucket into the suitcase coming home
It's really good to hear that even in vegetarian form you can enjoy some of the dishes. One thing not on this list but can be made vegetarian and I love it is the Gomba Pörkölt or mushroom stew 😊 I'm sure you would enjoy that too! :)
I've been told by my family I'm not to come back from my trip to Budapest without someone's grandmother's goulash recipe.
I try always to eat everything, but i dont make it beyond the silky smooth goose liver😋😋😋😋
Where on Erszebet korut you get a good Gyro? We had a favorite years ago. Kosz!
To be honest last time I went for a Gyros or Döner on Erzsébet körút was when I used to attend parties and needed something to soak up the alcohol and most of those were just doing what the food needed to do, but were not super great so not sure if I would recommend any of them :) Szeráj to me stood out a bit always and I hear Budapest Gyros is nice, but close to Akácfa utca Istanbul Kebab is also okay. To be honest my favorite Gyros right now is Floga Grill, but thats not close to Erzsebet Korut :)
Kosz. Majd meg probaljuk a Folgat.
Székelykáposzta gang has entered the chat
(+ túrós csusza, paprikás krumpli, rakott krumpli, és *** madártej *** ! :))
A székelykáposzta egy alul értékelt ételünk valóban pedig nagyon finom tud lenni 😊
There are a lot more Hungarian dishes that are good also.
Main course: paprikás krumpli, székely káposzta, Milánói sertésborda, vadas marhaszelet/sertésszelet, rakott krumpli.
Desserts: rétes, gesztenyepüré, madártej, zserbó
If you ever visit Budapest you must try Krumplis Langos by Vaci Street because they put a potato to Lángos just like a grandmas
It's very true! When I ask my Hungarian friends to suggest good Hungarian restaurants, they often can't give a proper answer because they usually eat the typical dishes at home :D
That's because we grow up eating the best food /dishes made by our grandmas and mom...none compares to them...we don't go to restaurants often to eat out....
Lecso is definitely a top 5 dish, and requires good Hungarian peppers. Substituting bell peppers is OK, but not the same.
I totally agree with you 😊
Remélem jó messzire jut el a videód, végre a külföldiek távolabb látnának a "gulash" és "paprikash" kombón 😁👍
Köszi! Remélem én is hogy jobban felfedezik a konyhánkat mert még ezen a listán kívül is van bőven mit próbálni ami finom 😊
I think street food video would be good. Food carts are easy way to try a bunch different things.
Will definately look, although Hungarian cuisine doesn't have a lot of food items that can be called "street food". Lángos and Chimney Cake definately fit the bill, and eating a nice grilled Sausage at a standing stall outside of a Butchers is also sort of a Streetfood experience :) But will look at what can be made into worthy content :)
Where's that food market shown @ 4:53? 😊
Hey there! That's actually a Christmas Market that's only happening from mid November to first days of January on Vörösmarty square 😊
Try our nyam nyam
Mate, when I was a kid, my old man used to cook Lecso all the time and I used to hate it😅
My Dad makes the best Lecsó...I could eat it every day....
Any advice on where to find Mátrai in Budapest?
Hey there! Pozsonyi Kisvendéglő for example at Pozsonyi út has it on the menu and it was nice when we tried it :) I believe Regős Étterem and Tüköry Étterem also have it available :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures thank you!
❤❤🥰🥰👍👍😋😋
👍👍👏👏😋😋👌👌
I visited Budapest on a day trip while I was in Slovakia to visit relatives. I found stuffed cabbage on restaurant menus in Budapest but none in Bratislava, which was surprising to me because stuffed cabbage, or cabbage rolls, was THE family favourite from my Slovakian great grandmother. I wonder why it's less popular there now... It's maybe more of a home food or perhaps more associated with other places and therefore not distinctly Slovakian enough to be on restaurant menus 🤔
Perhaps because it's a bit tedious to make, stuffing the leaves then having them simmer for long. Even here, not all restaurants have it on the menu.
@@StuffedCabbageAdventuresmaybe I lucked out in Budapest and didn’t look hard enough in Bratislava. They are definitely tedious! I think I’ve only ever had them on special occasions. Anyway, great video as always!
If I hate sour cream, how rude is it to ask for "no sour cream" on a dish ..and how would I say that? Lol. I'm visiting for the first time in March. I'm putting your videos to good use. Thanks
I’m going next week! And that’s my question! Haha
You can say : "Tejföl nélkül kérem szépen" - as in I would like it without Sour cream please. It's not rude at all, maybe a few old school waiters may raise an eyebrow but shouldn't be an issue. There are people who are lactose intolerant who may want to taste a dish but can't have things like sour cream, so it should be accepted 😊
I like most of the food you mentioned. Some of my favourites are szilvás gombóc, hurka, Székely gulyás, rakott krumpli, csöröge, dobos torta, uborka saláta, rétes. Hirtelen nagyon éhes vagyok. 😂😂😂
Can you suggest vegetarian or vegan food in Budapest
People have been recommending an app called_ Happy Cow. It shows Vegetarian, Vegan etc places on a map. I have checked it out myself and I believe it's very useful to find such establishments :)
Nem tudom mennyire volt benne gyermekkorodban részed, de kellene egy olyan video is ami a disznótort mutatja be a külföldieknek ha már a sertés ételekben ilyen jók vagyunk. Disznó legyilkolását mellőzheted:)
Nem rossz ötlet videonak, köszi :) betervezzük következő télre :)
How about the best Hotels for families?
Hey there! As a local my knowledge about Hotels is limited since I do not stay at any of them (hopefully one day some of them may invite us for a stay 😅). There are however Facebook groups like "Budapest Holiday, Hotel and Travel Tips for Tourists" and "Things to do in Budapest" where many visitors share their experiences and hotels they stayed at, and many are also asking for recommendations. Perhaps a post in those groups could help with getting some ideas 😊
Thank you. I love your videos. YOU convinced me to visit Budapest. We are into history, food, culture, politics? Advice?
Márk Wein 2 XD
7:03 Please, what food is that? It's a sweet dessert, or meaty/cheese roll?
Hey there! That's a dough that's similar to donut and it's filled with plum jam, it's a specific item for Szatmár county where a unique kind plum is grown 😊

I am surprised to hear that in Hungary people eat so much less fish than other countries. Why do you think that is? Is it because fish is expensive? Or just not popular?
That's an interesting question. While there isn't really a definitive answer with a source, based on some studies and my personal opinion it's because of 2 things : Hungary as a landlocked country needs to import most of the sea based fish which increases the price. On the other side the freshwater fish we have like carp has a lot of fish bone which makes the preparation more difficult and eating them is also a bit more of a hassle. We Hungarians eat a bunch of bread with Carp so that the fish bone we miss can go down easier 😊
Word of warning, on one visit you will not get to eat all the amazing food in Hungary. You will also not finish it all, the portions are very generous.
That is absolutely true :) More reasons for people to return :D
Hello Sir,
If you don't mind,, I'm visiting Budapest next month and if you can recommend a trusted money exchange office (( no commission )) or (( hidden commission)) I will be so thankful for you 🙏
Hi there! Most exchange in the offices in the city center will be fine. Just don't exchange at the airport, the rates there are usually the worst. If you walk around at Deák Ferenc tér (Budapest Centrum), look at the exchange offices on the streets, check their rates and decide which one you like most. The difference in rates won't be very high, there may be a few outstanding ones with super high and bad rates but not many. I never really had problems with Exclusive Change, Interchange or Western Union Change offices which are franchises. On a side note, almost all places accept cards these days :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures thank you so much 💙🙂
I would recommend using an ATM and choose the option to let your own bank do the conversion. That way you get the best conversion rates.
Gulyás is not equal to Goulash.
Goulash is Pörkölt.
Indeed Goulash is different most of the time abroad, especially if you look at what is served as Goulash in Prague for example. But if someone goes to a Hungarian restaurant here and looks at an English menu, they will see it listed as Goulash, sometimes as Goulash Soup. :) Wikipedia also mentions Goulash as "Soup or Stew."
Borzaska .... badass ???😅😅😅😅 Rather "dishevelled "
Mikor foksz bemutani a pacalpörkőlt, kocsonya és a zsíros kenyeret - ezek a jók hát nem ?? hü ha 🤣
Hehhe, szeretnénk majd a jövőben olyan videót ahol a "furcsább" és a különlegesebb ételek kerülhetnek bemutatásra, a pacal és zuza pörkölt meg a kocsonya pl pont ilyen 😊
Brasso not Brasov.
it is : (from wikipedia) Brașov (UK: /bræˈʃɒv/, US: /brɑːˈʃɔːv, -ɔːf/,[3][4][5] Romanian: [braˈʃov] ⓘ; German: Kronstadt, also Brasau; Hungarian: Brassó; Latin: Corona; Transylvanian Saxon: Kruhnen) is a city in Transylvania, Romania and the county seat (i.e. administrative centre) of Brașov County.
You are hungarian. am i right?
Yep :)
Sad face. So much delicious Hungarian food, so little suitable for coeliacs (who cannot eat wheat, barley, rye or oats). Maybe only stuffed cabbage if they use rice in the stuffing. And goulash without the bread bowl.
There are some restaurants in Budapest which offer gluten-free, lactose-free or completely vegan versions of some of these dishes. One we've been to was Kata Restaurant which was nice, but a lot of people recommend the Happy Cow app to look for places which may suit these specific needs :)
@StuffedCabbageAdventures thank you for the recommendations
There is more to Hungarian food than what you can find in Budapest. I suggest to go out to the country and find some real Hungarian cooking where the food in Budapest originally copied from.
Mátrai / Kárpáti Borzaska looks amazing!! I am in Budapest right now, where can I try it? I haven't found it on any menu cards so far 🥲
Hey there, I hope you could find a place in the meantime with Borzaska. I saw it on the menu at Pozsonyi Kisvendéglő, and perhaps Regős Vendéglő or Tüköry Étterem may also have it on their menu 😊
