After catching up on some sleep, it was time to properly discover Budapest: visit a museum, do some sightseeing, and finally eat something local!
First things first: breakfast and coffee at the London Coffee Society. The Hangover 2. 0—think breakfast burrito meets shakshuka—certainly was enough to get me started!
And that start involved some climbing, all the way up to the castle, to visit the Budapest History Museum.
Coffee at the heavily goat themed Zërgë, and then some proper sightseeing, in daylight, this time.
Then it was finally time to eat something typically Hungarian: lángos. I headed to the Hunyadi Square market hall, because there is supposed to be a food stand there serving pretty authentic lángos, according to some Hungarian vloggers, but when I got there, it was closed due to renovation works! Luckily—while having a coffee at Cube Coffee Bar—my new Budapest friend suggested an alternative, so thanks to her I was able to tick off one of my Hungarian food boxes at Gozsdu Lángos Bizstro.
With this greasy snack in my stomach, I was ready for some beer. Of course I drank (at) Onlygoodbeer, or Csak a Jó Sör as it’s called in Hungarian.
Beer Point turned out to be a weird mix of craft and macro beer, so I didn’t stay for long. HOPAHOLIC on the other hand had a great selection, and as it turned out, I had stumbled upon a tap takeover by Metalhead, a Bulgarian brewery.
Then I was ready to tick of another box on my Hungarian food bingo, but the restaurant I picked turned out to be a daytime affair, and already closed at five! So instead, I had a quesadilla dinner—and beer of course—at Beer Brothers.
The last stops of the evening were the Gravity Brewing brewery and taproom—an awesome space, with a great view on the shiny brewing installation—and MONYO Tap House.
