Imagine, you’re visiting Budapest for the first time. It’s 1:00am on a Saturday and you just did a bar crawl of Budapest’s famous ruin bars. You had a great time but you and your travel buddies are all starving. So, where do you go? Karaván, of course!
Located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, right next to Szimpla Kert, the very first ruin bar that was ever created in Budapest, is an open air courtyard full of some of the best street food that Budapest has to offer. From vegan-friendly options to delicious burgers, Karaván has something for everyone. Don’t forget to accompany your meal with a drink from the bar!
You can even get the Hungarian foods Làngos and Goulash. Làngos is a deep-fried flat bread with various toppings. Goulash is a soup mixture filled with meat and vegetables. Karaván offers a street food take on these traditional dishes. It is a permanent courtyard but does close in the colder winter months and the hours vary so plan ahead.
When travelling, it can be hard to meet people and get a sense of local culture. With their communal tables and a location next to a busy party street, Karaván is a perfect place to eat good food and meet cool people. Bon Appetit, travelers!
