Live like a local in Budapest
Bars and Cafés
There are some really nice bars and restaurants on Bartók Béla út just down the corner. All mainly visited by locals, these are not the typical tourist magnets.
I'll give you the house numbers:
No 1: Mitzi
No. 23: Béla
No. 29: Kelet
No. 36: Hadik
Let me also recommend you a really unique restaurant on the Pest side where gastronomy and Art Nouveau and Art Deco meet: Hilda
All these restaurants offer really delicious vegetarian dishes, but if you are looking for a true vegan place, just go down the street and on the left at 9 Bartók Béla Street, check out 'Vegan Love'

Delicious food, bohemian chic. The newly renovated interior of the Art Nouveau building with a newly dreamt mosaic wall, lively colors and art deco elements. The diverse flavors to discover, the French light interior, the extraordinary attention and the friendly service are all part of Hilda’s DNA.

Drinks & Nightlife
Wonderful wine bar with tapas dishes on Szent Gellért Square.
My personal favourite: Csóbor - Kékfrankos Rosé but you can find red and white wines from all important wine regions of Hungary here.
