Three items I can't find by missustoad
(1) a REASONABLY priced saucepan with handle (the ones at Mammut are expensive and I don't want to buy expensive. I'd love one for under $50 that is in the middle quality range...) Any large grocery stores sell them? I am desperate but unwilling ...
For the saucepan, I buy all my kitchenware on amazon.co.uk and get it delivered to me at work. Delivery fees are surprisingly low (often only a couple of pounds) and delivery times are surprisingly quick (often only a couple of days). This is ... Read More
Hey ladies, good hairdresser/salon recommendation? by wanna.38
Hi, I've been living in Budapest for a year now, but haven't been able to find a good salon/hairdresser here. If any of you could recommend me a good, english speaking hairdresser for me, that would be excellent. Preferably something that isn't too ...
An update on my previous post recommending Lolli who used to work at Horror Barbie Salon. I know some people had difficulty getting an appointment with her, and weren't so happy with other hairdressers at Horror Barbie. My apologies, I should have ... Read More
Looking for dressmaking / sewing lessons in English by Margle
Hi all, I'd like to learn how to make clothes, and am looking for classes or a tutor who can teach me in English. I can sew well enough - I have my own sewing machine, do quilting and can do simple alterations. But I have never made anything ...
Hi DSewClub! Where are you? Your facebook page indicates that classes are run in London. Or possibly Malaysia? Do you have classes in Budapest? Read More
Car Rental in Budapest by NiklasJ
I'm looking to rent a car in Budapest for a couple of long weekends (Balaton, Szeged etc.) but the major obstacle I have is a lack of a Credit Card. Does anyone have ideas of local companies that accept debit cards/cash deposits for a rental? ...
Hi there, I use an excellent car rental place regularly. They're a small company, lovely people, and will drop the car at your house and pick it up again for no fee which is super convenient. I've also been late coming home from long weekends away ... Read More

There's a Trek bike store in the 5th district. I just buy things from Evans Cycles online and have them posted here. They have fairly inexpensive and fast shipping to Hungary: www.evanscycles.com I actually bought my bike from them and had it ... Read More
Gyms in Budapest by Margle
Hello! I am new to Budapest, and I have managed to get most things sorted out, except for finding a gym. Could people recommend a good gym to me? I am living in the 6th district, near the Oktogon and I am working downtown, so anywhere near those ...
Heya, have a new gym to review. Bank Centre Fitness, which is near the Basilica in the 5th district. It's good for all of us who work in this area - you can pop there for lunchtime workouts. Not a perfect gym, but suits me. My breakdown of it: ... Read More

Is Quorn available in Budapest by markru
I am a near vegetarian, that is I eat fish but no meat products. In the UK we could get hold of a meat substitute called "Quorn". Does anyone know if there are any stockists in Budapest or elsewhere, i.e. just over the border in Austria. Thanks mark
Of no help to anyone, but just had to share this: http://thehairpin.com/2013/02/qreamed-quorn Read More
Singing teacher in Budapest? by Margle
Hi! Anyone know of an English-speaking singing teacher in Budapest? Want to take some regular individual (or small group) classes and learn the basics. I found one lady who looked fantastic (she's a coach/tutor on The Voice Hungary!!) but ...

I can share a couple of vegan options for you. But I do second all the people above who say that unfortunately vegan (or even vegetarians) are not very well catered for here. This is a proud meat eating, meat loving place! I've been out with ... Read More
Getting around Budapest by bicycle by xabier
Hi everyone! I was wondering if you had any advice on using the bicycle around Budapest. I love riding my bicycle everywhere and here in Barcelona I use it as the main transport on a daily basis to go to work, meet friends, go buy ...
I can recommend Rocket Bikes - lovely staff, most of whom speak perfect English. They have a shop in the 5th district where they restore/refurbish great old bikes. You point to the one you like and they customise and make it like new - new brakes, ... Read More

Both really. There are enough bike lanes in the inner city that I mainly use them when going to and from work. But everywhere else is sharing the road with cars, and I haven't had any problems with Hungarian drivers at all. Generally quite ... Read More
