Langos in Central Market Hall

You can't visit Budapest without trying a lango, a traditional Hungarian snack of fried dough traditionally topped with sour cream and cheese, but endlessly customizable according to your tastes. One of the best places to get a lango is on the second floor of the Central Market Hall, though there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, order exactly what you want. If not, the staff will give you one with literally everything available on it which, in addition to being very difficult to eat, is also about five times the price of one of the normal langos. Trust me, it happened to us. That being said, it was dumb of us not to specify exactly what we wanted, especially in an environment geared towards tourists. So, in short, the menu specifies the cost and toppings of each lango, so order exactly what you want and don't let them sneak in double portions of anything. Now, on to the lango itself!

Anyone who has been to Hungary knows that langos is one of its traditional foods. It is a kind of cake that is sprinkled with all kinds of seasonings, like a type of local pizza. They are really delicious, and I had the chance to try them in this bar that was inside the Central Market in Budapest that caught my attention for being crowded with people asking this specialty. The langos is delicious, and a great value. Mine was loaded to the brim, and I could hardly eat it all, but the experience was worth it. The prices are ridiculous, and if you ask for one off the menu with additional ingredients they offer, the cost goes up more than proportionally.
