2 Kosztolanyi Dezso Ter, XI, Budapest, Hungary
From $10/night
Fodor's "The menu includes several kinds of seafood cooked on Mediterranean lava stone. Fans of heroic consumption will also appreciate a cocktail menu with 100-some drinks."
Frommer's "The interior of the venue always makes us feel like we have joined Hemingway in one of his favorite Spanish getaways." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Papa Hemingway sure knew how to live large. He would have appreciated the spread-out, island-resort feel of this restaurant, set on a small lake."
