 Gorgeous patisserie in courtyard |
Feny utca, 8 Budapest 1055 Hungary +36 1 316 3817 http://www.augusztcukraszda.hu... |
The Auguszt family make some of the best cakes and pastries in the city and this is one of their outlets. You can either sit in the tiny, cramped café and enjoy a coffee and delicious cake, or take away. The decor recalls a certain turn-of-the-century faded glamour, with old-fashioned mirrors and lamps.There is a variety of cakes and a selection of little savoury scones (served by the kilo), as well as specially made cakes for family celebrations and mouth-watering pastries. See the website for further details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hungarian and French wines |
Jozsef Attila utca, 12 Budapest 1051 Hungary +36 1 317 5919 |
Premium Hungarian wine producers are featured in this small shop facing Hild ter. Le Sommelier is the proprietor's own label. You can also get Chateauneuf du Pape as well as wines from other major French châteaux, vintage port and Dom Perignon. Both wine glasses and a delivery service are available. Their carefully selected wines and attention to customers has allowed them to open two more shops. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Vintage Hungarian wines |
Mammut Shopping Center, Lovohaz utca, 2 District II Budapest 1024 Hungary |
This shop sells most top-quality Hungarian wines. This includes hard-to-find wines such as Tibor Gal's gorgeous reds from Eger, and the expensive Tokaji Aszu from the Royal Tokaji Wine Company (which is partly owned by British wine writer Hugh Johnson). Stay away from fancy bottles: what's inside should be more important than the container. The shop is located just in front of the escalator on the second floor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hungarian wine outlet |
Margit utca, 27 District II Budapest 1023 Hungary +36 1 326 4984 http://www.hilltop.hu |
This is the outlet shop for the Hilltop Neszmely winery—the largest exporter of quality Hungarian wines to the UK (eight million bottles per year). Why not try the award-winning 'Woodcutter's White'? The selection is vast and prices are low. From here, you can also arrange a visit to the winery in Neszmely, located near the city of Tata on the border with Slovakia. It boasts an excellent restaurant and guesthouse. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale food market |
Lövöház utca 12 Budapest 1024 Hungary +36 (0)1 322 4098 / +36 (0)1 488 0475 (Tourism Ministry) |
This is the king of all markets, catering to Budapest's more well-heeled inhabitants. The customary fruit, vegetable and meat stalls stand side by side with a Coquan's coffee outlet, a Szega Camembert delicatessen stand, an Asian spices and foodstuffs shop, Demmer's Tea Shop, a fresh seafood and caviar stall, a florist and pet food stalls. It occupies the back end of the Mammut shopping mall. For sheer variety, this is an excellent place to shop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh pita bakery |
Thokoly ut, 34 District VII Budapest 1076 Hungary +36 1 322 1702 / +36 1 342 6330 |
You will be bowled over by a delicious fragrance upon entering this specialist bakery. Pita bread is the sole speciality here - with white and whole-wheat versions both available. You may pick up a bag of ten, or as many or as few as you like. Unfortunately, the bakery is closed on the weekends, but other Arab grocers such as Rana Center ABC stock it all the time, although it's sometimes frozen. It's well worth buying it fresh here for its soft texture. Take the No 7 bus (the black one, not the express) one stop past Keleti Station and you'll find it right across the street.

Middle Eastern grocery |
Nefelejcs utca, 27-29 District VII Budapest 1078 Hungary +36 1 352 2348 |
This is a fair-sized shop filled with countless Middle Eastern treats. These include nuts, dried fruits, more than half a dozen types of olives, feta cheese, haloumi, kaymak, canned and frozen okra, melokhia, black-eyed beans, giant white beans (Greek fasolia giganthes), chickpeas, foul (fava beans) and other dried and canned legumes. There is also a butcher's counter selling fresh lamb, basturma and other meats. The large selection of spices and most other ingredients are generally cheaper than those found at other shops. Whatever Middle Eastern ingredient you're looking for, they're likely to have it here. This shop is open late and on Sundays which is extremely convenient given the vast selection of produce available here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Main market hall |
Vamhaz korut, 1-3 Budapest 1053 Hungary +36 (0)1 322 4098 / +36 (0)1 488 0475 (Tourism Ministry) |
This has got to be the grandest and most beautiful market hall in Europe. Opened in 1897, the building—designed by Samu Pecz—underwent a thorough renovation and re-opened for its centenary. It's a massive, airy space filled with bright piles of food. The mezzanine level is crammed with dozens of folk embroidery and souvenir stands, plus a pleasant cafeteria, beer and food stalls. In the basement, you will find fish, pickles (savanyusag) and a supermarket as well as the hallowed Azsia—an international foods store. Be aware that butchers and greengrocers begin packing up their produce as much as an hour before closing. Review © 2007, Wcities |
