Kárpátia
Budapest, Hungary
The read// why locals go
Kárpátia has been serving Hungarian food beside Ferenciek tere since the 1870s, in one of the most elaborately decorated dining rooms in Budapest. The interior is the draw before the menu is: painted neo-Gothic vaulting, stained glass and dark carved wood, restored rather than reinvented. The kitchen keeps to the classical Hungarian repertoire, braises and freshwater fish and the dishes that predate any modern reinterpretation, while a band plays through the evening as one has for well over a century. It is formal in a way few Budapest restaurants still are. Locals use it for anniversaries; visitors use it to see what a grand Hungarian restaurant looked like before the twentieth century rearranged the city.
