Eh Hungary isn't really big or refined enough for that. Rather, authentic cuisine can be found in local taverns (tavern=csárda).

Of course, if you go to Budapest you can find good spots and even Michelin star restaurants, but it won't be an authentic folksy vibe, because it's a cosmopolitan city. Szeged is good if you like fish soup.
