Gozsdu Courtyard (Gozsdu-udvar), Budapest
Dating to 1901, the beautifully redeveloped Gozsdu Courtyard, once the hive of activity before the Holocaust, has in recent years emerged as a top nightlife destination in the district. Lined with restaurants, cafes and bars, this passageway comes alive every evening, pulsing with music and merriments along its 200-meter length.
Favorite hangouts to check out include the trendy wine bar DIVINO with lots of great Hungarian wines by the glass, bottle, and for takeaway; CAFE VIAN, with its incredibly diverse and extensive food menu offerings; 2 SPAGHI – one of the best pasta places outside of Italy; the Jewish-Italian restaurant YIDDISHE MAMMA MIA; and the buzzing SPILER 'bistropub' which excels by its unique interior ambiance (for Asian-inspired food/drinks, hop across the road at sister branch SPILER SHANGHAI). All offer indoor and outdoor dining.
Tip:
From March to October, the popular GOUBA (Gozsdu Bazaar), held here every Sunday, offers diverse arts and crafts, gastronomic delights and unique entertainment.
