A taste of Italy when in Hungary

After eating lots of traditional Hungarian food, we wanted a change on our last evening in Budapest, so we decided on a rustic Tuscan restaurant on the river, Trattoria Toscana.


A yummy beef carpaccio for me with lots of parmesan and rocket, followed by king prawn pasta with spinach and lots of garlic. A running theme in Hungary is lots of everything! Even though we had eaten loads of hearty meat dishes, Mat still went for a duck lasagne, it was really rich, meaty and full of flavour. The desserts were ok but didn't blow us away.

This was our most expensive meal out in Budapest but we did go for the full three courses and wine (which we have done a lot so I now need to exercise on my return!). Again the Hungarian wine, a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc by Bolyki was great even though we went for white this time and the label very pretty.
