Seasonal delights and Bavarian classics

Nestled in Buda Castle, Spíler Biergarten is a delightful stop for a leisurely stroll, offering hot drinks like mulled wine, hot chocolate, and tea to take away. For those dining in, the menu combines festive treats with the restaurant's renowned Bavarian classics

Start your meal with seasonal starters, including pumpkin hummus with crispy chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, and olive oil, or savour the Transylvanian mititei, a mix of beef, lamb, and pork in grilled meat rolls. Other rustic favourites include a venison and wild boar meat pie served with homemade ajvar (a condiment made principally from sweet bell peppers and aubergines) and flatbread.

For heartier fare, the menu features 100% local beef in their homemade burgers, with vegetarian options and a selection of pizzas also on offer. Traditional beer garden staples like pork leg, fried cheese noodles with cheese sauce, smoked bacon and onions, fried sausage with sourdough bread, coleslaw, mustard, and half a grilled chicken remain crowd favourites.

Don't miss their festive specials! Highlights include mushroom cream soup with truffle oil and toast, duck liver terrine with homemade brioche and pear chutney, and roast duck breast with turnip purée, carrots, and jus. A traditional Christmas choice is the stuffed cabbage with dill and cream. For dessert, indulge in a warm plum pie with cinnamon ice cream.

If you're sharing, there are delightful options like Grandma's pancakes, Kaiserschmarrn (a lightly sweetened pancake dish) with apple sauce, apple strudel with vanilla sauce, or the decadent Belgian chocolate cake.
