Hungarikum Bistro, the place you can't leave
The only time to eat diet is when you're waiting for the roast to be done - Julia Child
Gosh, how I love food that has an impressive history, but most importantly the place where it is served.
I assume any criticisms that may arise after my post is read, I suppose each of us have guilty pleasures, so I have a guilty pleasure for traditional Hungarian food, I am not of Hungarian origin, but I love it to death.
Yes, I live in the west of Romania, and I am quite close to the Hungarian border, very often I cross the border strictly to visit some Hungarian restaurants or even different events or street festivals where I find food stalls prepared according to old recipes, even so I have my favorite places where I always go.
Now you are probably wondering why I don't look for a Hungarian place in Romania without having to cross the border, my answer is that yes, there are places in Romania where Hungarian food can be served but they are at a greater distance from where I live, so I prefer to cross the border to my neighbours.
Why do I prefer Hungarian dishes?
Hungarian dishes are famous for their history, for the slow way of cooking and especially for the spices used here, I refer especially to paprika (sweet or hot).
Hungarian cuisine is very rich, today I will stop at the most famous dish, the GOULASH.
Goulash should always be seasoned with a chilli paste for a truly regal taste.
Goulash has as main ingredient pork or beef which is seasoned with many kinds of spices, potatoes, dumplings, onions, garlic, carrots and a lot of paprika, from what I discovered the secret of a successful goulash is the preparation time and the pot in which it is prepared (the larger the quantity cooked the more amazing the taste), preparing this dish takes a long time so if you are hungry and want to eat something that is prepared quickly forget the goulash.
After having introduced you to my favourite dish, I will now introduce you to the place where traditional food can be served, namely Hungarikum Bistro.
Hungarikum Bistro is a Hungarian specific restaurant, the most ordered dish is Goulash, but there are several other dishes that are also ordered here such as Langos (it is prepared from water, flour, yeast, salt, sugar and the secret ingredient) it can be served with sour cream or cheese and dill, and Confid de Canard (this is duck meat cooked for many hours in the oven in duck fat, tender meat that melts in the mouth and a strong taste of garlic).
The service in this small neighborhood restaurant is impeccable, the restaurant itself looks amazing, to convince you that I am right what I am writing here if you look carefully in one of the pictures attached here you will see an ad that says ,,Fully Booked".
I must also tell you something about the prices you find in the menu, I have attached a picture of the menu there prices being written in Hungarian currency, forint, the cost of a dinner served here is quite high, this may also be due to the quote and reviews of thousands of people who have lived here.
If you happen to be in Budapest I highly recommend you to try this restaurant, you can find it at Steindl Imre Street 13, Budapest 1051, Hungary.
All I can say is, "Bon appétit".
