4Kadarka Wine Bar
Named after a red grape variety native to Hungary, Kadarka is a lively wine bar in Budapest's Jewish Quarter. Kadarka is not the type of super-hip place with the latest natural wine and pet-nat sensations with sommeliers who will tell you stories about wines and winemakers; it is an unpretentious and inclusive wine bar that serves more than a hundred kinds of Hungary's leading labels from across 22 wine regions.
Kadarka has remained a mainly local haunt, especially for 30-plus Hungarians, likely because prices haven’t shot through the roof. If unsure, try Kolonics's juhfark, a minerally white varietal wine from the Somló region in northwestern Hungary, or a kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) from Eger in eastern Hungary. And please don't leave without a glass of the complex sweet wines of Tokaj.
