For These 5 Restaurants, I'd Fly Back to Croatia & Hungary!

🇭🇺 Budapest, Hungary ❶ For Sale Pub 📍 Across from Central Market | Opens at 12:00 Rustic vibes with peanut shells littering the floor (free unlimited peanuts!) Must-order: Foie gras toast (so good it’ll inspire you to leave a note on their wall) (P4) ❷ New York Café ☕ "World’s Most Beautiful Café" Brunch like royalty under gilded Baroque ceilings Try: My pictured 3-course set—no regrets! (P5) 🇭🇷 Croatia ❸ Eat Me 📍 Zadar Old Town (easy to find!) Skip the steak (overpriced), but the black squid risotto is a must *(P6-8)* ❹ Seafood & Steak 📍 Split (local-approved alternative to Restaurant Boom) Serendipity: A local led us here when Boom was closed—packed with Croatians! Hit: Grilled seafood | Miss: Underdone risotto (not Asian-friendly) 🇸🇮 Piran, Slovenia ❺ Fritolin Pri Cantini 📍 Main square seafood spot Fried seafood platter = crispy perfection Quirk: Pick up food at the counter (they’ll hand you a shell-shaped token) #FoodiePilgrimage #EatLikeALocal
