Arany Kaviár
Price: over HUF8,000
Located on a quiet street below the Buda Castle, Budapest’s leading Russian restaurant has a lovely ambiance and superb service, yet it is most definitely the food that really steals the show. The menu incorporates the gastronomic traditions of all the nations that were once part of the Old Russian Empire, such as Armenia, the Ukraine, or Georgia. Here you will find the richest and most exclusive selection of fine caviar in Budapest, including the world-famous beluga, sevruga and osetra caviars, which all feature on the menu. The restaurant offers a selection of the finest Russian vodkas, all served ice cold.

Fausto
Price: over HUF8,000
Fausto is considered by most as Budapest’s finest Italian restaurant. The setting here is elegant, with and antique furniture and large round tables covered in crisp white linen, and the food first class. The menu includes a variety of soups and traditional Italian starters, followed by primi and secondi piati of meat or fish, and the fresh seafood is truly excellent. Menu changes with the season. Italian haute cuisine doesn't come cheap but there are more than 70 kinds of Italian and Hungarian wines available to ease the pain. Book well in advance.
