Built by architect Samu Petz in 1897, this central market called ‘Központi Vásárcsarnok’ was restored in 1994 after a huge fire.
Here, you can find all kinds of fresh produce, meat, cheese, grocery, flowers and Hungarian specialities. The locals who live nearby buy food from here too. The mezzanine level houses folk-art booths and snack bars where we had ‘Lángos‘ – the traditional hungarian snack. But since the portion is so big, I am eating it like my ‘lunch’ ;) The original with sour cream, garlic and cheese:) This photos shows the basement level. Also it is where you can find fishmongers, pickles, a grocery store and a shop selling colonial produce.
In my next coming post, I shall show you the mezzanine level detailing, which I am very impressed with.
This is the address: IX. Vámház körút, 1-3
