Holiday memory — Dobos Torte that transported me back

I first ate Dobos Torte on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the creamy and savoury quality I remembered. sour cream was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Hungarian cuisine was shaped by nomadic Magyar traditions mixed with Ottoman and Habsburg influences. It was the a Budapest csárda tavern memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. Pálinka fruit brandy was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
