Trying the local cuisine is a holiday highlight for many Britons. A new ranking from the expert team at Sail Croatia has ranked the cheapest European cities for a meal out.

The team looked at the average prices for cheap eats, three course meals and fine dining to find the cheapest spot for Britons to eat out.

Budapest, Hungary’s capital city, topped the ranking with the average price of a meal out in the Eastern European hot spot costing just $56.04 (£46.04).

Cheap eats were even better priced at under £10 for a meal, coming in at £8.13 on average in Budapest.

Where else can Brits find a cheap meal?

So what can British tourists look forward to sampling in Budapest? At the cheap end of the scale, Britons might want to try langos, deep fried dough often topped with cheese or sour cream.

Goulash is another staple dish, a spicy meat stew usually flavoured with lots of paprika. Vegetarians can enjoy lesco, a vegetable heavy tomato ragout style dish.

Sweet tooth? Budapest’s most famous dessert, kurtoskalacs or chimney cake, is a cylinder shaped dough often covered with melted butter and cinnamon. It’s often sold by street vendors.
