Change language:
If you are visiting the capital of Hungary, there are countless places to pop into for lunch or dinner. But if the usual destinations are no longer a novelty, it is worth checking out some of the themed restaurants in Budapest for exciting and colourful ways to spend a holiday or just an afternoon out. Below, we have gathered some groovy places that are sure to break you out of your everyday routine.
The Magic
Junior sorcerers and witches in training, or really anyone who loves fantasy will enjoy the feeling of being plunged into another place at The Magic restaurant on Hajós Street, which teleports you straight to the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
Start the night with a Love Potion or some Liquid Luck and choose a magical main course such as Merlin’s Feast or the Witch Salad to pair it with. Finally, to top off the magical experience, you might have a Magic Ball or a Sweet Mandragora.
Sunny Diner
Can the USA come to you in themed restaurants in Budapest? You bet! For those looking for a taste of the American dream, Sunny Diner is the perfect choice. The eatery on Hűvösvölgyi Street is the country’s first American-Mexican à la carte restaurant. Open since 1997, the place offers everything from authentic milkshakes to burgers and quesadillas for hungry guests, in the classic diner atmosphere that most people might be familiar with from the movies.
Buffalo Steak House
Also transporting you to the United States of America, albeit showing a completely different face of the country, is the Wild West restaurant Buffalo Steak House, with its charming and unmistakably Hollywood-influenced Western feel, complete with cowboys and guns. The restaurant serves barbecue dishes, Mexican food, as well as special steaks from different nations–with exotic meats such as zebra or kangaroo–, and those who would rather go vegetarian need not worry either, as the restaurant offers a variety of meat-free dishes.
After all, as their website slogan says: “If the city atmosphere gives you stress, come to visit the Wild West!”
