It is worth going on a gastro tour in Budapest in August to discover the newly opened spots in the capital. Here is what you should try!
Roller Budapest
The newest addition to Kazinczy Street is Roller Budapest, which transports you straight to "roll heaven." The place opened only recently, and you can taste divine, freshly made rolls every day. You can choose from a shredded chicken version with plenty of sauce, a smashed beef roll with cucumber, a pork version with even more sauce, or even venison sausage and meat-free options. Not to mention the other delicacies: various hot dogs and two variations of smashed burgers. Be sure to try the extra sauces with them!

Hyggelig specialty cafe & gallery
In the recently opened gallery of contemporary abstract painter Anita Püspök, you can combine your interest in quality coffee and the arts. This intimate cafe is an ideal venue for meetings with friends or dates, as it is a truly magical and friendly place. Stepping through its doors, you will find yourself in a sophisticated home for specialty coffees and art.

Hearty Vegan Cakes
The first Hearty Vegan Cakes shop opened in the spring of 2021, but over time, the little store proved too small, and they had to move to a larger location. During this time, many fell in love with their heavenly, eye-catching vegan cakes, which you can now taste yourself on Veres Pálné Street in District V! The quality of the cakes is absolutely guaranteed by the owner's dedication—even guests struggling with food sensitivities can taste them with confidence.

Zsiráf Tranzit
Just a stone's throw from the bottomless lake (Feneketlen-tó), we can find one of the capital's "old-new" spots: Zsiráf Tranzit, opened on the site of the former Tranzit Art Café. The catering unit, originally converted from a passenger waiting room, is known among locals for its unique shape. Starting this summer, instead of long-distance buses, a cozy terrace and heavenly pizzas await guests here. As we have come to expect from Tranzit, the venue continues to host various cultural events and exhibitions, and we hope that even independent theater performances will return here.

Stifler Garden
In the heart of Zugló, next to the Arena, the sunlit garden of Stifler Garden opened just a few weeks ago. This atmospheric spot is an ideal choice whether you are looking for a venue for a leisurely brunch, a budget-friendly lunch menu, or a romantic dinner, but there is surely enough space for casual gatherings with friends on one of the three cool terraces. The roof terrace is available for special occasions, while the covered glass terrace enchants as a winter garden, and the outdoor terrace awaits you this summer in a green environment with a grill counter and cocktail bar.

Ida Bistro
For those looking for classic Austro-Hungarian "peace-time" flavors in everyday life, the home-style dishes of the recently opened Ida Bistro will provide joyful moments. Chicken paprikás, curd dumplings, or Kaiserschmarrn? The flavors of home will return in every bite, beautifully presented. The great selection is complemented by special refreshing cocktails, which are guaranteed to brighten up August days.

Kolibri Budapest
The palette of award-winning, handmade ice creams in Budapest has recently expanded with a new spot, thanks to Kolibri. The ice creams are available in both classic and vegan versions, and you can ask for toppings or even spice up the delicious bites with coconut chips! Taste them all on Buda's newest cozy terrace!

Marumba
The journey of home-style flavors can continue at Marumba, which opened on Holló Street. In addition to the brilliantly designed interior, they aim to speak to guests through modern Carpathian Basin dishes, showcasing the versatility and, if the case may be, the ironic nature of our own region. As a contemporary domestic restaurant, they simultaneously serve well-known favorites and reveal completely new flavors and impressions from the territory of the former Monarchy. With their creative chef, Olivér Heiszler, they draw inspiration from Hungarian, Transylvanian, Slovak, Serbian, Czech, and Slovenian traditions—he himself has conducted thorough research into folk cuisine traditions, which is a sure indicator of success.
