Central Market Hall, Budapest

The hot food was pretty good as long as you like that food menu anyway. If you pay in euro the conversation rate might inflate the price. If possible pay on Hungarian having checked for good value first. Be prepared to barter and to compare with other stalls since many items are sold in different stalls. The alcohol was cheaper than in supermarkets. The cakes we're good being not too sweet but flavoursome. The carved wood Santa Claus figures were as high as €500 though endearing. I also saw a local get a better deal than me on a table cloth until I asked for the same deal. My friend was charged more than the exchange rate when paying in euro by about €3 on a €15 item. I questioned this but it was too late. He said something about exchange rates were variable blah. This would be a 5 star had I not had to wheel and deal so much else lose out.

I loved it in the great market hall! the architecture and the size of the building was very impressive. Overall, mostly vegetables and meat is sold here. But you can also find many Hungarian souvenirs like paprika powder. There is also a small bakery that sells amazing strudel with many different filling options for a low price. It is also nearby a beautiful bridge where you can enjoy your food and the view.
