Petruska Ètkezde Budapest

Comfort food in Budapest

Betti from Budapest

I come from a smaller town near Budapest, and ever since I moved to the heart of the city, I have been on a mission to find the best spots for amazing coffee, delicious food, and killer views. It's become a hobby for me... I guess it is everybody's hobby, but I'm absolutely loving every minute of it nonetheless. I am an ultimate city explorer, curious about uncovering the coolest spot...
"This is a family-owned business, where the food tastes homemade. Every meal you choose feels like your family cooked it with so much love."

I pass through Ráday Utca almost every day, and I never imagined there was a restaurant there until one day, I saw people waiting in line and my curiosity got the better of me, so I visited the Petruska Ètkezde and I found one of my favorite places to eat lunch.

This is a family-owned business, where the food tastes homemade. Every meal you choose feels like your family cooked it with so much love.

The people who work here always greet you with a kind smile and friendly approach. There are some special meals every day you can choose from, from traditional Hungarian cuisine to the usual cooked meal, but made close to perfection, and always so tasty. You can just not go wrong with Petruska Ètkezde.

This is also a restaurant where you can find the most tasty food for a very reasonable price. Don't miss out on the opportunity to try your lunch here, but please do visit it before 3 PM for a truly memorable dining experience!

This is the place where the culinary essence meets the warmth of the community.

The Magic

Tasty Harry Potter experience

It does not look like Hogwarts, but rather a medieval castle where each part has a reference to an event or a place from the books of J. K. Rowling...
