One of the best restaurants in Budapest.
From the website of WeLoveBudapest:
Csalogány 26 is a tiny but quite famous restaurant in a small Buda street near the Castle District. This place is was born from the marriage of traditional kitchen and the Michelin-star: constantly changing, seasonal dishes, impeccable ingredients, top quality and precise methods. Despite being one of the best in town, this restaurant is far less pretentious than some of its Pest-side brothers. It is an elegant, modest restaurant with simple, harmonious flavours and a rich wine selection. The cream of the products by the best Hungarian wineries (Káli Kövek, Villa Tolnay) are all there on its wine card.
