Fatal was one of the highlights of my trip. I'd heard raves about it from friends so, one evening, after a visit to a tea house, a few of us headed to Vaci Utca.
The restaurant is in the basement of the building, so it has the cozy atmosphere of a Bierkeller and, to get in the spirit, I had a bottle of Dreher beer, which was suprisingly tasty (I hadn't been impressed with Hungarian beers previous to this). All of us ordered soup for the first course, and I had the good fortune to choose bean soup (bableves)--like the others, it was served in a saucepan (which gives you an idea of the portion size!), and topped with sour cream and parsley. Mixed together, it was amazingly warm and good, with just enough spice to liven things up.
My main course was turkey breaded with sesame seeds and served with rice and potatoes. The turkey was delicious and moist but, unfortunately, after the bableves I could only muster a few bites
We had good service here as well - I can't say enough about this place.
