Buja Disznó(k) - sensuous pig

Lajos Bíró

and his team launched Buja Disznó at the Downtown Market in the fall of 2015. In Hungarian, “buja” means sensuous, so basically the canteen’s name means “sensuous pig.” This playful name hints at the main ingredient… pork… but what’s served here is not just any old pork. The star attraction is a premium quality, GIANT breaded pork cutlet.

The breaded pork cutlet - "Wiener Schnitzel"

Served with our golden-brown breaded pork cutlet is a breaded pork chop bone along with the perfect side dishes: potato salad, and pickles or fresh sourdough bread. The menu at Buja Disznó also includes the unmissable pig lungs and hearts, and fried pig’s ears… for the braver gourmets among us. Order this classic Sunday lunch any day of the week.

WIENER SCHNITZEL

Breaded cutlets should only be made using the finest ingredients: a happy pig who has lived a full life, and the four secret ingredients that make up our breading. Plus, breaded cutlets must be fried to perfection! Even with such a simple dish, the utensils used are crucial. For example, with this dish one of the most important tools is the meat tenderizer. In addition to the ingredients, the meat pounder plays a key role in ensuring a consistently high quality breaded cutlet is served.

PIG EARS

The ear is one of the tastiest parts of a pig, especially if it comes coated in the perfect breading. Pig’s ears are a feature of many cuisines, and we strongly recommend trying our “Lali style” version, too, especially if this is your first time trying this impressive dish. It’s an unmissable experience!
