Töltött Káposzta exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Töltött Káposzta made with real commitment to Hungarian wax peppers and technique. The hearty and warming result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Hungarian cuisine was shaped by nomadic Magyar traditions mixed with Ottoman and Habsburg influences. The a traditional market stall was exactly right for this kind of eating. Tokaji wine was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
