Ruszwurm Travel Reviews

Jul 18, 2006
Really good dessert and cake place on top of Castle Hill in Buda. Founded in 1827, it used to serve desserts for Hapsburg royalty. Its small, shaded, and cozy interior is the perfect place to relax after a hike up the hill. I sat at a small table by the counter and ordered a slice of the Ruszwurm specialty chocolate cake. Out of all the dessert places I went to in Eastern Europe (and I went to as many as I could), this was probably my favorite. I preferred the chocolate cake here to the cake at Gerbeaud, which is a more “famous” cafe and bakery in Pest. The chocolate in the Ruszwurm cake had a richer flavor and the cake itself had a tastier consistency and texture. Definitely recommended if you like great desserts!

drszaszpeter says: Auguszt is the oldest confectionary family in Budapest. They have three shops, each of them unique and special in their own way, but all are beautifully old fashioned and all have excellent cakes. If you travel to Budapest, you have to visit and enjoy a delicious piece of cake!
JPryce says: My brother first introduced me to this place when he was studying in Budapest. He warned me not to eat anything all day beforehand and not to order a starter as this restaurant serves the biggest portions of food in the world! He was not wrong- I saw someone eating a platter of food that was so la...
