Leave room for a little lunch with your pastry.
This leisurely occasion for fellowship and food offers waiter service for the savory courses, which are trundled to your seat on a two-level cart. The pastries are laid out on a string of long tables at the head of the room; you fetch them yourself, but the greater effort is in biding your time, at least till after the soup.
Shown below: a "barbecued pork dinner" ($10) featuring sausages atop cutlets; chicken paprikás and dumplings (also with cucumber salad, $10); székely gulyás ($9), a goulash from the country's south that seems to rely on sauerkraut; gulyás soup ($6); cabbage noodles ($7); chicken broth with liver dumplings ($6); and an extensive (but not exhaustive) photo menu of the pastries.
