#centraleurope #budapest is known for its thermal baths and stunning architecture, but one of its tastiest secrets is the iconic kürtőskalács (chimney cake). At Molnár Kürtőskalács, I found the perfect place to try this traditional Hungarian dessert while exploring the heart of the city. #budapest #hungary 🍩 What is Kürtőskalács? This sweet, spiral-shaped pastry is baked over an open flame and coated in sugar, cinnamon, or even chocolate. The result is a warm, crunchy outside and soft, fluffy inside—a must-try for dessert lovers. 💸 Price At Molnár Kürtőskalács, prices range from €3–5 per chimney cake depending on your chosen topping. They also offer filled versions with ice cream or Nutella for a little extra indulgence. 📍 Where to find it? Molnár is located in Váci Street, Budapest’s famous pedestrian shopping street.
