Before you go
What the guide flags for food lovers.
- Check the menu and any 'service' line before ordering, especially in central tourist streets; a written price avoids the after-the-fact bill dispute. (Eat guide · rules)
- Tap water is safe and restaurants must provide it free on request — ask for csapvíz if a waiter tries to sell bottled water instead. (Eat guide · rules)
