As a 100% Budapest born, it was something natural to be a local guide and show my lovely city to foreigners. I am oficially an economist but to be honest, i have never worked in that sector. I much more prefer explaining our history and the present life of locals to you. You can chat with me in English and Spanish, in both languages:)

Born in Paris to Hungarian/ French parents, I moved to Budapest in the 2000s. After having driven my Fashion business to catastrophe, I turned my craving for the wonderful, endless discovery of Budapest into my number one activity, and the first I am so passionate about. As a licensed and qualified tourist guide, I tend to show my guests things they wouldn’t find on their own. My bicultural background is also an advantage as it gives me multiple perspectives to understand Hungarian history and society.

5. MeatUp

Located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, MeatUp is one of the best spots to enjoy high-quality kosher street food in the city. They serve Israeli fare with a Hungarian flair. Hungry diners should go for the ultra-packed shawarma bagett or the hamburger plate, which comes with a side of thick-cut fries. There are soup and salad options for light meals. The restaurant has a lemehadrin certification, the strictest level of kosher supervision, provided Rabbi Baruch Oberlander.
