In the VII. District, there is a little place named Tortuga és Pohánka where the fusion of Mexican and Hungarian culinary traditions creates quality bakery products made with careful attention and a big heart.
Tortuga és Pohánka is all about quality and fairness. The bread here is 100% sourdough, and the atmosphere is very personal, which is always a treat in a big city. They craft their products with handpicked natural ingredients, keeping prices fair as they believe that good and healthy food should be accessible to everyone, especially for locals.
Good news for everyone living near Nyugati train station or Jászai Mari tér, a new bistro is on its way, where they'll make their beloved fresh bread alongside six well-curated traditional Mexican dishes, rarely to be found elsewhere in the city.
Staying true to authenticity, the owners keep things simple, using only locally available ingredients or sourcing from trusted suppliers. So, if you’re curious about the authentic tastes of Mexico’s culinary heritage in a simple form in Budapest, look no further!
