Great Market Hall. Beautiful building with a huge market. Although a regular tourist must-see, locals also frequently do their shopping her. Make sure to try Langos (pronounced langosh, kind of flat-bread freshly made and deep-fried there) with sour cream and garlic topping. http://www.budapestbylocals.com/great-market-hall.html

Chinese just around the corner. Make sure to ask for the authentic Chinese menu (they have 2 types, one optimized for Hungarian taste-buds and purse, but the other is only a bit more expensive, but far richer in flavours)

Typical and tasty Hungarian dishes, within walking distance. Dishes You should look for:
Starter: mixed plate with Hungarian sausages and cheese or Hortobágy stuffed pancakes (Hortobágyi palacsinta).
Soup: Gulash-soup (Gulyás) or Fish soup
Main dishes: Lecsó (pronounced letscho), Pork or beef stew (Pörkölt) with noodles and a tasty cucumber salad, Stuffed cabbages (Töltött káposzta; put some sour cream on top, priceless) or stuffed peppers (Töltött paprika), Chicken Paprikas (Csirkepaprikás), Pasta with cottage cheese, sour cream and fried bacon (Túrós csusza).
For dessert, go for a somlói galuska (Sponge-cake topped with a tasty chocolate-rum sauce and raisins + whipped cream).
Drinks: try any kind of Palinka before the meals (quite strong spirit made from any kind of fruit that Hungarians can lay their hands on). My personal favorites are plum and grape.
For the main dishes, try any of the dry red or white wines (My personal pick would be the Frittmann winery if its white, Bock, if going for red)
For the dessert, make sure to try the famous Tokaji Aszu, a really sweet white wine, made only in Hungary.
