Honest verdict on Dobos Torte — good but not exceptional

Dobos Torte here was solidly made — hearty and warming without anything to complain about. onion was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

paprika only entered Hungarian cooking in the 17th century but now defines the cuisine. The a Budapest csárda tavern atmosphere was pleasant enough. soda water spritzer was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Dobos Torte this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
