Rákóczi Market Hall — Local services in Budapest

The fruit vendor sells expensive fruit and vegetables. Had their quality been good I wouldn't mind the high prices but it isn't.

The bread at the bread and cheese shop is terrible but this is the case in most bakeries in Hungary. It also sells foreign cheeses at inflated prices. Probably the only cheese that is of acceptable quality at a reasonable price is Hungarian goat cheese.

There is also a butcher and a lady that sells eggs.

The eggs are actually good and they are not expensive (110 HUF a piece).

And yes, there is a spar supermarket (probably the worst chain of supermarkets in Europe where you are always guaranteed to find low quality goods at high prices).

If you are a tourist and not aware of how low the quality of the basics every Hungarian household consumes, do come here and see it...

Although not as famous as the " Central Market Hall " this market is more famous amongst locals and offers great bargain on local specialities

I visit the market hall frequently and I mainly go to Spar for vegetables and groceries, but I see a lot of people buying things from other shops and stalls that offer local specialties especially cheese, meat products and vegetables. I don’t know if they accept card or not, because I prefer digital payment that’s why I opt for Spar. The market hall is a historic and charming place, with unique doors and a clock on top of the tower, but it seems like only a few shops are up and...
