Manufacturer's product description
This restaurant is located in a strange, horseshoe-shaped house originally built in the early eighteenth century at the foot of Castle Hill in Buda. There are two rooms - a front one with a bar counter and vegetable salads on display and a back one, which is quieter, with candle-lit tables, stained-glass windows and paintings reminiscent of days gone by. The game specialties - venison, hare or pheasant - and poultry dishes as well as steaks are all reasonably priced. In summer, a pleasant terrace with a view is open.
Advantages: Beautiful, romantic, cheap Disadvantages: More signs in English; credit cards not to be used everywhere
...Budapest is one of the most beautiful and loveliest cities of planet earth. This city is the capital of Hungary - a country in central Europe. Budapest has two parts: Buda on hill and Pesti. Danube - the river, separates these two parts of the city from each other.
Budapest has a very rich history, and it would take me years to mention it all. The city is known for its culture, for its bridges that were destroyed during the World War Two and then rebuilt, for its Houses of Parliament (which to me are a smaller and simplier version of the British Houses of Parliament), for its castle on hill, for its wonderful thermal baths, for its delicious food and wine, and the list can go on and on and on ...
Since July 1998 I have visited the city several times, and frankly, I cannot get enough of it. It is a city that has everything. It is so...

Advantages: Cheap, lots to see and do. Disadvantages:
...Budapest is another of the former Hapsburg cities, with the Danube separating Buda from Pest. There are so many things worth seeing that Budapest requires a full weekend to even see most things superficially. Public transport is very cheap, yet some tourists still baulk at buynig a ticket, there is accommodation available cheaply and centrally, and there are no ends of places to visit, and many places to relax. For one of the most breathtaking views, head up to the Fisherman's Bastion and look down across the Danube to the Parliament building. The Underground system is excellent and easy to use, but beware of the steep stairs in many stations, if the escalators are out of order. There are a multitude of restaurants worth visiting, and I worth recommend Fatal (bodes well you might think!) on the Vaci utca. Watch out for pickpockets...

Advantages: Cheap and unspoilt by tourists Disadvantages: Not good for vegetarians
...Even in this day and age, Budapest is still relatively unspoilt by tourists and is a fascinating place to visit. Its a noisy, buzzing city with great architecture and you can wander for days finding new places to see. Its quite big, but the transport system is excellent and very cheap. While you are there, do not miss out on a trip to the spa! Avoid the hotel ones, check out the spas just out of the centre which are used by the hungarians themselves - they are fabulous and just the job after a day of exploring! Only downside was that there is meat on just about every dish on the menu. However, they are starting to cater for vegetarians more now and we got by just fine over the week we were there....
