| Customer Reviews: Good Prague guide, but author probably never visited Budapest. September 27, 2009 V. Vanhoucke 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book's coverage of Prague is good and helped us organize an enjoyable 3-day visit. I am however convinced that the author has never set food in Budapest. Several restaurants were misplaced: Fausto's and Abszint. Al Amir and Mandarin were nowhere to be found. The highlighted 'scromptuous, gut-busting pancakes' of Nagyi Palacsintazoja are...crepes! Standard, microwaved, crepes that you can find in pretty much every train station in Europe. (Yes, they were good). This made for a very disappointing tour of the restaurant scene in Pest.
