What to eat in Budapest

Hungarian cuisine is hearty and paprika-rich: goulash soup, chicken paprikash, and slow-cooked stews are the classics. Try lángos from a market stall, chimney cake (kürtőskalács) for something sweet, and a glass of Tokaji or Egri Bikavér with dinner before an evening concert.
