Vasmacska etterem

Description:

• The restaurant features a terrace, a garden and a nautical theme demonstrated by the unusual decor. The name Vasmacska translates literally as 'iron cat' and is the imaginative Hungarian word for an anchor. Narrow corridors, lined with dark wood lead to an elegant dining area that resembles a ship's saloon. There is another tavern in a similar style, split into two areas, a four-room pub and a covered garden and barn area making this, despite restrictions by the Ancient Monuments Act of 1985, one of the biggest restaurants in Budapest. This is deceptive, as once inside it is very cosy and convivial. The menu offers all kinds of meat: beef, veal, pork, poultry, venison, wild rabbit and wild duck. There are vegetarian dishes too and also unusual items like Csiga porkolt—snail stew. A selection of wines comes from Laszlo Roth's vineyard in the Villany region.
