Kéhli Vendéglő
Budapest, Hungary
The read// why locals go
Kéhli Vendéglő has been feeding Óbuda since the end of the nineteenth century, and the writer Gyula Krúdy ate here often enough to put it into his books. It sits on a quiet Mókus utca corner well north of the tourist centre, in a low old building with a garden that opens in summer, and it cooks the traditional Hungarian repertoire without apology: bone marrow on toast, freshwater fish soup, stuffed cabbage, goulash. Long tables, live music, portions sized for people who worked outdoors. Óbuda was a separate town before Budapest absorbed it, and Kéhli is one of the few places where that older, slower version of the city is still legible at dinner.
