The largest puppet theatre of Central Europe, the Budapest Puppet Theatre (Budapest Bábszínház) is situated in one of the venerable, but slightly crumbling protected buildings of Andrássy Avenue, which is over 100 years old. The building hosts a 403-seat theatre hall with up-to-date stage equipment, and a 99-seat chamber hall, the Játszó-Tér on the 4th floor. The Budapest Bábszínház is also peculiar in the sense that it stages shows for the widest range of age groups from pre-schoolers, through school children to adults. It has owed its greatest success stories to the puppet play adaptations of musical works by Mozart, Bartók, Kodály, and Tschaikovsky.

In addition to housing shops for all your needs, it also has a relatively large community space with chairs and tables. Its eating options, however, are slightly more limited. Despite being a shopping centre, it is one of the most pleasant spots of the 12th District thanks to its loft and the adjoining park-like terrace.

The Klauzál Square Market Hall was built in the place of a burned-down theater in 1897, at the period when the capital was suffering from a market hall fever and opened five market halls. The once imposing structure with three hundred retail outlets was renovated in 1987 and then in 2015. This time the city administration dreamed up a hall with new features and spaces, and the plan came true in October. The building is still accessible through the main entrances at Klauzál Square and Akácfa Street, and customers can go to the brand new mezzanine level by stairs, escalator or elevator. In addition to farmers’ tables and display cabinets, numerous catering units, fine bakeries, as well as traditional artisans and suppliers will await customers seven days a week. We highly recommend to try the pancakes on the frist floor

Macesz Bistro is a Jewish bistro, serving home-proud food in the middle of Budapest's old Jewish district, close to the Synagogue, the kosher food store and Szimpla Kert. The bistro welcomes guests with a cozy atmosphere and affordable prices. All dishes on the menu reflect a kind of Jewish-Hungarian cultural co-operation; here, stuffed cabbage and matzah balls co-exist in harmony. However, it's important to note that Macesz Bistro is not a kosher bistro, despite the fact that there is no pork on the menu. In addition to the menu, their wine selection is remarkable, as well.

Curious about the dishes Hungarian families ate in the '70ies and '80ies? Then visit Kádár Étkezdébe in Klauzál Square. The unbelievably simple and brilliant dishes cooked by Katika are served in a home-like, friendly milieu. The floor and the tablecloths are chequered, the walls are adorned with old photographs, and the broth is just perfect. Since the eatery is near the Jewish Quarter, it also serves kosher dishes along with all the traditional home cooking of Hungarian housewives.

Két Szerencsen is an excellent choice for a date, a lunch or a glass of wine with friends. It has a pleasant, intimate milieu where you can enjoy a glass, but it's best with a filling Mediterranean dinner. You'll find it near the Opera, in Pest's Brodway, Nagymező Street.

Among the trendy restaurants of Liszt Ferenc Square, you can find Menza, a vintage place where the tablecloths are still striped and the chicken soup is still rich in meat. However, apart from letcho, you can find all modern options on the menu - even hamburgers. Supposedly, they invented the idea of serving all the vegetables, extra meat and dumplings in a separate bowl, and then they pour the soup on it from something that looks like a teapot. It’s definitely worth to drop by for a lunch menu, and for a nice cocktail outside on the terrace on a lovely summer day.

Located on Arany János utca (Arany János Street), right across an A-plus bakery and breakfast spot, Á table, Espresso Embassy might be the mountaintop of Budapest’s cafés. Spearheaded by the former and ever masterful baristas of Printa, the Embassy thinks outside the box when it comes to coffee-making; and, despite its premises, which used to give home to a secondhand clothes shop, puts brand new ideas into practice. A prime example for an innovation would be the so-called filter coffee, which, just like all the other caffeine masterpieces, is made from Has Bean beans. As for the non-liquid selection, it’s made up of sandwiches and various bakery products, so you might have a hard time deciding between Espresso Embassy and formerly mentioned Á table.

Sarki Fűszeres on Pozsonyi út in Budapest is the reincarnation of a small, but rich pantry. The shop and café is a tiny, of-the-wall delicatessen, which they duly prove with the platter named Baltazár Szendvics. The platter filled with hams and cheeses sliced in front of us, bread variations spread with lemon jam, herb butter and olive oil, fried egg and vegetables is a great and filling brunch option.

Mazel Tov is an open hearted cultural space in the city’s center, a streamlined and comforting place focusing on gastronomy in the 7th district, in the middle of the historically Jewish quarter, today’s downtown’s night-life center. This urban, recreational, dog-friendly garden laden with planted herbs and trees is transformed into a garden party location in the evenings. We wish to establish an informal, casual atmosphere, an easily digestible urban meeting point, which transforms into one of the most intimate and greenest arbors at dusk, every day of the week.

Fausto di Vora has two molto bueno places on Dohány Street in District VII – right next to each other. These are Fausto’s Rostorante and Osteria, and although they have different atmospheres, the international cuisine, entwined with Italian flavors, is a common ground. They pay special attention to the ingredients and the preparations – we can taste this if we choose the lobster, steak, lamb, the angler fish, or the scallop. We can choose original Italian wines, or even Balaton-region ones from their impressively long wine list.
