Budapest hidden jewels: Hungarian fish’n’chips


 At he CEU Weekly we never surrender in our gastronomic quest around Budapest. Our latest discovery? Halkakas, a little restaurant specialized in Hungarian fish. Bon profit.

We all are tired of the regulars in our diet. Italian food. Thai food. Chinese food. The canteen (a category itself). Mexican food, sometimes. The 10th floor cafeteria.
We would like to propose you something new, for a day that you feel like breaking your food routine and exploring the less known part of district V, near Calvin ter. A remarkable part of town, by the way. Specially at night. But that is not our topic today. For more information on old buildings and narrow streets in which to get lost during lonesome and melancholic walks on misty nights we shall write another article.

Halkakas offers Hungarian food. But not of the kind we are used to. No goulash, no fruit soup, no Hungarian pasta. This restaurant specialises in seafood. Well. Riverfood. All dishes contain fish, either caught in this country’s rivers or raised in fish farms. It offers different kinds of fish, including catfish, trout and other delicacies whose Hungarian names I have forgotten. All of them prepared in different ways: fillets, hamburgers, fish’n’chips… remarkable lemonade Hungarian style, as well as their selection of wines!
The CEU Weekly held its last Editorial Team Building Dinner in this venue. We could not be more satisfied with the result. We would like to sincerely recommend it for your next date or for whenever you feel like going a little out of our usual Deak ter-Uni route and eat some unusual food!
