Old-Style Cheap Restaurants in BudapestVendéglő-s and önkiszolgáló-s (self-service restaurants) are the best cheap restaurants in Budapest. These places have unpretentious interior, usually with plastic or checked textile tablecloths.
Cheap Food in Downtown Budapest
A simple, inexpensive cash-only eatery with only 5-6 tables (prepare to share the table with other guests). If you want to try hearty Hungarian food this the place to go. Menu in English is available.
Platán Étterem Platán has a fast-food section with a cosy atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. A substantial daily menu is from 650 HUF. In the restaurant section you can have traditional Hungarian meals and delicacies at reasonable price. Kádár Étkezde Classic old-style restaurant in the heart of former Jewish quarter serving non-kosher Jewish food. Try roasted goose leg, stuffed cabbage, or cholent (sólet in Hungarian) a stewed or baked bean and meat dish. Metropolitan Café & Self-service Restaurant Daily menu is around 700 HUF (soup and main dish). The place is air--conditioned and there's an open-air terrace. Bécsi Szelet Vendéglő Their speciality is the huge size Wiener Schnitzel, breaded veal deep fried in oil.

Baradlay Kisvendéglő Erzsi Mama Konyhája It's a bit out of central Budapest, but this place has nice, homey interior and good selection of traditional Hungarian dishes at reasonable price. Forró Serpenyős Étterem
Vegetarian Cheap Restaurants in BudapestFinding a vegetarian restaurant in Budapest or any in any other Hungarian city is a real challenge. Here are a few places to make eating out in Budapest easier for vegans. Főzelékfaló Főzeléks are peculiar to Hungarian cooking: vegetables simmered in some water and thickened with roux and sour cream. Note that meat (usually smoked meat) is cooked together with vegetables in case of some főzeléks (babfőzelék) so always ask about it if you're a strict vegan. Meat dishes are also offered so the place is also recommended for meat lovers.
Vegetarium Étterem A cheap vegetarian restaurant in downtown Budapest: wide selection of vegetable dishes (about 40), salads, soups, pizzas, bio juices. Daily menu from 650 HUF.
Look for food stalls selling lángos (a deep fried dough), fried sausages or black pudding.These dishes are a bit heavy and fatty but taste better than a burger in a McDonald's. But if you feel the urge: countless buffets (Chinese, gyros, Turkish), Western-style fast food chains are scattered throughout Budapest, including McDonalds, Burger King, KFC-s, Pizza Huts. I'm not fan of these places but they inevitably conquered Budapest and as you'll see many of them is full almost all day.
