What to buy

Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Unicum from the oak barrel

A bitter of more than forty herbs and spices

Where it comes fromBudapest's own

The Zwack family's bitter herbal liqueur is a Pest product. An 1891 invoice of the firm already gives 1840 as its founding year, and the distillery stands on Soroksári út.

Tapped in the cellar straight from the oak cask, the house says, after a walk through the old still house.
