Eat

## Where to eat

In general, the budget traveler would do well to seek out self-service canteens (of which there are plenty) near his place of accommodation. These offer authentic (though of course not spectacular) dishes at very low prices, and offer a great opportunity to get acquainted with Hungarian cuisine in the company of locals. They tend to be only open for lunch, however, and many close on weekends.

1. Kappuciner Étterem A small, old-fashioned establishment offering various dishes for weekday lunch -- the grilled chicken is quite good.
2. Kinai Étterem See also Lili Kinai Bufe in the city center.
3. Casablanca Wonderful kebab and gyro spot in the city center.
4. DZ Street-Food Mátyás király u.
5. István Cellar Kazinczy u.
