They wrote about us

"We had a goulash tasting platter - three stews with pasta and pickles. The dishes were very tasty, a great version of goulash soup. The restaurant is in the stunning gallery of the market."

"The music was fantastic and the food was great. A great place to relax in a really wonderful building."

"We had a great lunch at this market in Budapest, great goulash and casserole. Also great was the live music in the restaurant."

"We had a delicious meal at the Fakanal Restaurant in the market. It's a sit-down self-service restaurant, you choose what you want to eat and then you can sit outside or inside to have your lunch. The casserole, sausage and goulash were excellent."

"The only place I've found that serves the exact same layered casserole my grandmother used to make."

"It was a great place to stop and have a quick lunch, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the market. The Hungarian goulash soup with bread was delicious. The soup was tasty and delicious. Plus, the meat almost melted in our mouths. The staff was friendly and polite. It was a special experience to have live music playing while we ate. All in all, we had a wonderful lunch while walking around the market."
