veggie-friendly budapest

>> gulyas hús-mentes
although typical Hungarian cuisine is most famous for its beef gulyas, many other dishes can be made veggie-friendly (without meat: hús-mentes), such as lecsó with its spicy paprika. Budapest offers a great choice of veggie cafes and restaurants serving Japanese, Indian and International menus, as well as local dishes, so you'll have no problems eating out <<

>> catering for every diet
because you will have the use of a veggie kitchen in the appartment, you can prepare your own meals to your own dietary requirements. And as health is a serious issue in Budapest, the numerous health shops stock food items, snacks and cakes to satisfy every need - vegan, anti-candida, gluten-free, diabetic, etc <<
