4Cintányéros
Cintányéros isn’t so much a posh wine bar as an updated neighborhood wine tavern – the type of place where local residents gather for banter and wallet-friendly house wine. The place is situated in the once-seedy outer District 8, an area currently undergoing large-scale real estate development perfectly symbolized by Nokia’s and IBM's gleaming headquarters towering over the neighborhood. Upstairs, there are small tables and snug corners; no wonder that lovebirds occupy many of them. The wine list also features a few well-known local labels. Notably excellent food to go pair: toasted sandwiches, grilled sausage with pickled cabbage, filled molnárka roll!
