What Retes is
Strudel with apple, cherry, poppy seed or cheese filling.
Retes is listed as a bakery item in the Hungary guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
Where to find Retes
Retes is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Hungary. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
