Remiz

Frommer's Review

Remiz was born at a time when many entrepreneurs were opening little food shops, while others, like Remiz owner Alice Mezodi, wanted to bring dining out of the Socialist era. The "Remiz" is literally the place where trams spend the night, and the venue for this restaurant that was opened in 1992. Mezodi and her husband József, the lead singer of the classic Hungarian rock band Apóstol, are also magnets for creative dinner guests, including Hungarian actor András Kern, actress Eniko Eszenyi, choreographer Iván Markó, and the elder-statesman Hungarian film director Miklós Jancsó. A pianist and trumpet player effortlessly play melodies in the tram-shaped restaurant, which is decorated with early-20th-century posters. Try an assortment of gooseliver specialties, classic chicken paprikas, or a tender veal filet with bolete mushrooms that will leave you satisfied, and just curious enough to ask Alice to tell you some stories.
