Additionally, the ongoing construction works under the national Hauszmann Program, aimed at restoring historic sites, have disrupted daily operations for nearby restaurants. With changing tourist patterns and evolving urban landscapes, the culinary scene in the Buda Castle District continues to experience a period of transformation.
