Some places to eat in Budapest

Hy guys!
Today I would like to speak about some restaurants that I have been this month.


1. Zizi bubbles and tapas
Hercegprímás utca 12. Budapest
http://www.zizibar.hu

It is situated only 2 minutes from St. Stephen Basilica. It has Hungarian and Spanish dishes or "tapas". Tapas are small portions of the dishes. However it is very cheap.
We went two times and we tried:



  • Potato croquettes with Serrano ham: Delicious!
  • Honey-mustard chicken breast roasted in bacon: So tasty!
  • baby squids in a crispy batter: The squids were too small.
  • roasted potatoes with tomato and aioli : They aren´t good and the alioli wasn´t real alioli sauce.
  • Roman salad with grilled chicken and anchovies: Good!
  • Black pudding, liver wurst and bratwurst: Very tasty!
  • BBQ pork with mustard-onion ragout:  Delicious!
  • Hungarian Hamburguer: The best one! With Hungarian meat!.





2. Disznó Bistro
Nagymező utca 19. Budapest

It is situated next to the Moulin Rouge and the  Budapesti Operett. Only 5 minutes from Octogon.

We taste theSpare Rib BBQ with Steak Potato Fries and BBQ Sauce.  It was pretty good.






3.Salvatore Bar
Erzsébet krt 48, Budapest
http://salvatorebar.com

Situated in front of the Corinthia Hotel. 5min from Octogon.
It has very tasty dishes with very economic prices. Moreover they have 2 liters cocktail for less than 10€.
It is a perfect place to start the night and not to expend too much money in drinks.

We chose the espagueti tagliatelle al pesto, salmon with paste and tuna pizza with extra of bacon.










4.Jerney Italian Bistro



Budapest, Vigadó tér 3, 1051
http://www.jerneybistro.hu/

They have excelletent pizzas. The dough of the pizzas are great.

Budapest is an incredible city with awesome views.
One good place to visit is the Liberty Statue. It was built in commemoration for those who sacrificed their lives for the independence of Hungary
It was first erected in 1947. Around this statue there is a very big green area.
The monument was originally designed by Zsigmond Kisfaludi Stróbi

Hola a todos!! Bienvenidos!!  El fin de semana pasado mi novio y yo aprovechamos el buen tiempo y nos fuimos hasta las rías baixas(Galicia), donde se encuentran algunos de los rincones más bonitos de toda galicia. En concreto estuvimos disfrutando de unas maravillosas vistas de Baiona desde lo alto del parador. Dicho parador dispone de una zona amurallada que puede ser recorrido disfrutando de unos paisajes mágicos y contemplar las fabulosas islas cíes.
Si te apatece algo especial y alejado del bullicio de las grandes playas de esta zona puedes pegarte un baño en unas preciosas y tranquilas calas que se encuentran rodeando el parador.
