After a visit to the brilliant Budapest zoo we had worked up quite an appetite so we headed round to Bagolyvár - a quaint restaurant staffed entirely by woman serving Hungarian classics with a twist. The owners of the posh restaurant next door, Gundel decided that Budapest was lacking home cooked food in a family atmosphere so they restored the building next door, called it 'The Owl's Castle' and employed only women to cook, serve, decide on the menu and buy the produce.
We had the bargain set menu, which consisted of the best vegetable soup I have ever tasted, loaded with butter, cream and lots of seasoning.
This was followed by quite an unusual dish of chicken and chips but the chicken was covered in an apple and cinnamon sauce. It was weird but it kind of worked in the way that honey and mustard chicken does.
The service was lovely and the meal cheap, it set us perfectly to relax in the thermal baths nearby.
