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...

Smashy Burger Budapest

Smashin’ Burgers

"At Smashy, they keep it simple with just two burger options, both served with pickles, onions, burger cheese, and your choice of sauce."

You know, I'm usually on top of all the new spots opening up around town, but Smashy took me completely by surprise! I was heading to the bank when I spotted this massive line outside this new joint. Curiosity got the best of me, so I had to check it out. After waiting in line for a bit, I finally got my hands on one of their burgers. Now, I'm not the biggest burger fan, but let me tell you, this was something else!

At Smashy, they keep it simple with just two burger options, both served with pickles, onions, burger cheese, and your choice of sauce – either the classic ketchup and mustard combo or their special house sauce. But here's the kicker: they smash the burger with onions, then stack on the cheese, and top it all off with another patty, giving you a double-decker delight!

Sure, you might have to wait a bit longer for your order, but trust me, it's totally worth it. So if you're up for a little adventure and a whole lot of flavor, make sure to swing by Smashy and experience their unique take on burgers for yourself!

Just a heads up, Smashy doesn't have indoor seating, but don't worry—these burgers are perfect for enjoying at home or on the go. Just remember to be mindful of the environment. Lastly, I owe an apology to the vegetarian readers, as there are no vegetarian options, for now at least.

Caffé Gian Mario

My go-to is the Diavola pizza (spicy Italian salami), which is baked to perfection, and let’s not forget about the four cheese pasta - a true masterpiece.

GoodSpirit Whisky Bar

The perfect evening out

Their gin-based signature cocktail is my absolute number one. It's called “Ramos Gin Fizz” and it’s pure magic in a glass. It never, ever disappoints.
