Prime Steak & Wine Budapest

Every big city has its signature fancy steak restaurant; in the case of Budapest, this is the not too imaginatively named Prime Steak & Wine in the city's downtown. The restaurant serves premium cuts of imported meat – ribeye, porterhouse, top sirloin – from the United States, Australia, and Argentina, including prime-grade Black Angus and Wagyu. While there isn't much of a tradition in Hungary of eating steak, customers can also try the Hungarian Grey, a local native breed.

To help you ease into your meal, a selection of more than 200 bottles of top Hungarian wines are also available. The dark interior fittings impart an overly formal and expense-account ambiance to the space, so try to book a table near the oversized windows. You can nurse a drink at the cocktail bar if there's a wait.
