As a vegetarian, I feared that I would be hungry in Hungary.
As a literate human being, I fear that hungry in Hungary will leave you awkwardly silent at how bad that last line was.
Moving ever so swiftly on, Budapest had been on my 'list of things to do before I'm 30' for quite some time...quite some time clearly not being longer than 29 years...boy am I rambling today. Anyway, Budapest is awesome, as was 21 Magyar Vendeglo: Friendly and witty staff, dark wood décor, but ... hardly any veggie options. By hardly any...I mean one...Asparagus soup...with a random boiled egg yolk 'decorating' it.
Thankfully it was really tasty, and the bread and cheese dip skaplungle (it's a word) that it came with was D-licious which, should be the name of a rapper...or a wannabe rapper.
D-licious was also fully involved with dessert, of which we ordered an array of: Hungarian chocolate cake - as intense and flavourful as it sounds with layers of white and dark chocolate, some cottage cheese pudding which was a cross between cheesecake and mousse, and last but not least, something simply called 'sponge cake'...what a deceptive title for something that involves rich, dark chocolate, ice cream and cream. If this is sponge cake, then slap a hat on my head and call me Gloria. If this is sponge cake in Hungary...then Hungary is where you'll find me.
Price: 22, 180.94 HUF (Approx. £61.00) for 4 x coffee, 3 x hot chocolate, 3 x starter, 1 x main, 4 x dessert and service charge.
Veggie Friendly: 1.5/5
Food: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Atmosphere: 3/5 - would probably be a 4/5 in the evening - twas a twidge (also a word) too quiet at lunch
