Columbus

Opposite Intercontinental Hotel (on a boat), Budapest, Hungary
Tel: +36 1 266 7514
 

Several restaurants are located on boats docked on the Pest bank of the Danube, but Columbus was one of the first and is still one of the most interesting. If you can get a table on the deck, you will be able to enjoy one of the best views in town - the magnificent panorama of Castle Hill, the Liberation Monument and the bridges spanning the river. Try to get a seat facing the river rather than the touristy promenade.

Inside, the theme is nautical, with lots of wood and brass fittings giving the impression of dining on a boat, even if this one never moves. The place is often packed.

The smoked knuckle of pork is only for those with giant appetites. The chilli is hot and the giant burger is good value. You could also have five chicken wings covered in a fiery sauce and the fresh Greek salad is tasty and filling, especially when accompanied by a basket of bread which is useful to soak up the olive oil.
