Hungarian restaurant - The best and most authentic Hungarian restaurant Nagy Hussar.
The Gay Hussar in Soho, London is an old Hungarian restaurant.
Decor of the place is interesting; walls are covered with books They server hungarian food and of course hungarian wine, including sweet white Tokaji wine.
Food of the place is rather interesting, since it’s a mixture of Balkan and Eastern European cusine.
Pricelevel is rather high compared to style of the place and food quality.
Food is really good, tho.

Ever since it opened in 1953, the fate of The Gay Hussar has been intimately bound up with that of Britain's intellectual class, peaking in 1980 with the election of the late Michael Foot as Labour leader.
During the war, he served with British intelligence in Hungary, then opened a second Budapest on Frith Street before finally unveiling The Gay Hussar.
However, it was the restaurant's discovery by the firebrand Welsh MP Aneurin Bevan that led to it becoming the unofficial headquarters of Labour's intellectual left.
I start with the restaurant's famous chilled wild-cherry soup, while Caroline opts for the fried mushrooms with tartare sauce and Charlie has the fresh asparagus and bacon salad.

The Gay Hussar - Wikipedia
The Gay Hussar is a celebrated Hungarian restaurant located at 2 Greek Street, Soho, central London, England.
Victor Sassie[1] was the founder of The Gay Hussar restaurant in 1953.
Sassie was sent to Budapest in Hungary by the British Hotel and Restaurant Association when he was seventeen.
On his return to London in 1940, he established first the Budapest restaurant and then The Gay Hussar, which was to become popular with left wing politicians.
[3] The restaurant was named in honour of the elite Hussars of the Hungarian army.

Grace Dent reviews Gay Hussar | London Evening Standard

ES Food Newsletter For reasons involving sentimentality and schadenfreude, the editor dispatched me this week to Hungarian stalwart the Gay Hussar on Greek Street, to document its final days.
And obviously, at one point, the Gay Hussar was de rigueur, but now it is the opposite and, sadly, a restaurant can’t pay its bills with the love of folk who think it’s really charming that it hasn’t been turned into a Starbucks yet, but never want to eat cumbersome plates of veal goulash beside a dusty library of political biographies.
The Gay Hussar could be a gorgeous, battily mad, imperfect yet raffish feeding and watering hole, steeped in history and juicy anecdotes, evoking the sense whenever one pops in — for a bowl of fish dumplings in dill sauce and a large apricot brandy — that London survives and we’re just ridiculous cameo characters passing through.
But presently, let’s not kid anyone, the Gay Hussar needs investment, a big yellow skip placed outside and a high-octane declutter and its entire menu scrapped, refocused and made appetising.
At the Gay Hussar £18 will buy you a plate of smoked goose with red cabbage and solet (Hungarian bean stew).
Can the conservatives save the Gay Hussar, Labour's canteen ...

A month after their election victory three years ago, Patrick McLoughlin, then the party’s chief whip, assembled the entire whips’ office and headed to the Gay Hussar.
Since it opened in 1953, this cosy Hungarian restaurant on Greek Street in Soho has been known as Labour’s canteen.
Regular diners are concerned a new owner may not respect the restaurant’s heritage.
“It is a good deal less Hungarian than any restaurant I have been to in Hungary,” says Brian Sewell, the art critic and a regular diner for the past 40 years.
“There was a crisis when he became leader because people thought the Gay Hussar was a bit Old Labour,” says Dan Hodges, The Daily Telegraph columnist.
