Want a taste of Hungary? If you’re planning a trip to Budapest or are looking for information about what to eat and drink in the city, you may want to pick up a copy of Carolyn Banfalvi’s book called “Food • Wine • Budapest.”

This insightful guide features extensive information about restaurants, cafes, pastry shops, tea houses, wineries, markets, and various other food related establishments.

The book begins with a great introduction to Hungarian food along with its historical origins and background. From there it contains various sections entitled a Hungarian wine primer, what else to drink, restaurant basics, Budapest’s markets, specialty food & wine shops, essentials, and lot’s more.

There’s also a full culinary dictionary translated both in English and Hungarian (just a few of the helpful resources for travelers on the go).

Although, it can be said that Hungarian food is mostly unknown abroad. It is now taking on a new renaissance and is quickly becoming a recognizable cuisine.

As author Carolyn Banfalvi’s says in her book, “There’s a lot to do, see, eat, and drink here, and there’s a reason so many expats suddenly realize that they’ve stayed years longer than they planned.”

Whether you are looking to spend several months in Budapest or just passing through, this guide gives you everything you need to know to enjoy the best foods of this dynamic and affluent city.

I know I will be bringing this handy little guide with me the next time I visit Budapest!

Food Wine Budapest is available for purchase online at Amazon.com, as well as Little Bookroom stores and at various independent book shops throughout the United States. Carolyn Banfalvi is a food and travel journalist who is based in Budapest, Hungary. She has also written The Food and Wine Lover’s Guide to Budapest: with Budapest Restaurants and Trips to the Wine Country (Park kiado, 2008).
