The food was excellent. We went for lunch and had the cabbage rolls- exceptionally dense and flavourful. The cutlets and sandwiches were awesome as wel lwill definitely go back. .

Last meal in Toronto. I decided to try something new in the area and found Budapest Restaurant, a Hungarian spot that specializes in schnitzels. 

I dropped in for a late Thursday lunch (around 1:45pm). Surprisingly, the place had a few customers. The inside looks newly renovated and there's two main dining areas. My server was very genuine and checked up on me several times throughout the meal. Just ask her what's good! I stuck with the Hungarian dishes. 

The menu is split into appetizers, entrees, breakfast, omelettes, sandwiches, burgers and desserts. Seriously, wished I came with someone else to try more things. All the desserts sounded heavenly.

- Bread - you get two slices of bread complimentary. Comes with butter. Nothing to write home about. 
- Beet salad ($3.00) - a side bowl of fresh, sweet shredded beets. Not to mention more than enough for one person.
- Wiener schnitzel ($15.95) - traditionally breaded pork cutlet, fried golden. It comes with a choice of rice, home fries, dumplings or mashed potatoes; I went with the dumplings. Fantastic! It also came with pickled cabbage. The schnitzel was hammered to a perfect, lean consistency. Breading was spot on; crunchy but pleasantly light. The piece was massive but somehow I ate it all!

It's a tad expensive for lunch but the quality is there. Homey, old school, traditional Hungarian food.
