Fodor's Expert Review Prímás Pince

$$$ Esztergom Hungarian Fodor's Choice
Its dramatic setting under soaring vaulted ceilings in the old basilica's cellar is just one of this contemporary dining room's many attractions. Add an enticing menu of Hungarian and international dishes, the city's best wine selection (with information boards on all of the country's distinct wine-growing regions), and surprisingly low prices, and you've got the top choice in town. Dishes change seasonally, but there is always a good mix of delicious meat, fish, and vegetarian options that aspire to something beyond your average fare, always fresh and well prepared. If it's on the menu when you visit, opt for the fluffy pancakes stuffed with paprika chicken, spinach, and sour cream. Though popular, the space is big enough never to feel crowded.
