Change language:
We have already reported about the Hungarian cuisine conquering the world – now let us turn to international cuisine in Hungary. Want to try some of the masterpieces of international cuisine in Budapest? Check out our collection of the best places to go to – based on locals’ opinion.
Chinese – Biang Bistro
Master Wang’s name is well-known among those who like Chinese cuisine. His figure became a hallmark in Hungarian Chinese cuisine following the success of his first restaurant in Józsefváros – the area that Kate McKinnon was so amazed by that he rapped a song about it at Jimmy Fallon’s. Ever since Master Wang has opened two more restaurants in the city at Oktogon and Kálvin square.
We would suggest that customers visit Biang Bistro when they are really hungry, as one can hardly decide between the excellent soups (wonton, hot&sour), fresh and tasty salads and dumplings.
As for the main course, the Biang Biang noodles with homemade, long pasta and delicious seasoning and sauces are a must try.

Vietnamese – Oriental Soup House
I am sure that everyone would agree that Vietnamese cuisine is in its heydays all over the world. Naturally, there are lots of places where you can try the famous Pho soup in Budapest, too. In this article, I would like to recommend one in particular: Oriental Soup House. As the restaurant’s name suggests, they have many types of soups and main dishes, all of them of outstanding quality, prepared just as in Hanoi.
Their aim is to be as authentic as possible when preparing food.
You can choose from numerous variables, such as Pho with chicken, duck or beef, and even shrimps. If you have had enough soup lately, you can try their spring rolls with fresh vegetables and rice or filled dumplings.
Middle Eastern – Dobrumba
The restaurant is inspired by the journeys of Dobrumba’s managers. Their cuisine offers much more than you would probably expect at first sight: they have Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Spanish, Portuguese, Moroccan, Israeli and Lebanese food among others (!), with an extraordinary and cool interior design resembling New York.
