Food in Budapest is wonderful and very inexpensive. A fabulous blend of Austro-Hungarian cuisine makes Budapest one of the best gourmet cities in the world. I am including a comprehensive list of restaurants here but my advise is to be adventurous and explore little cafes and coffe houses on Budapest streets.
