Resti Kocsma and other Budapest, Hungary Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Resti Kocsma

It's communism-style pub.There are pictures of Lenin, Kádár (ex-communist leader of Hungary), Rákosi ('the best student of Stalin') on the walls. Mottos of the 50's are painted such as '(Hungary is) the country of iron and steel'.(It's non-sense!). 'Find the spy!' 'Let's rebuild our country!' 'Let's celebrate the birthday of our leader, Stalin!' etc. On the danceplace there is a huge redstar-mosaic. Many-many coverpages of old magazines. I think for the Hungarian this place is part of the past, for foreigns it's a scarsity that's why I usually take my foreign friends there. Live music (Hungarian music from the 60's or whatever you want!). Considering it is in the most expensive part of Budapest, it's surpisingly cheap!

Favorite Dish: Pancakes filled with nuts with chocolate
