We ate here on our first night in Budapest. We were looking for something close to our hotel and the staff recommend this place, as it was quite late in the evening. We were not disappointed. First of all, the prices are very reasonable and they had a very large menu. We enjoyed a very large amount of food, thanks... More

Came here from the reviews and had a late lunch. It was really nice. Nice food, decoration, 80's music, not expensive and good service. Has pool tables here too.

People don't seem too impressed with this restaurant. However it was very close to my hotel so I was keen to try it out. I dined on my own, which wasn't an issue on Easter Sunday evening. It was pretty busy to be fair. They had English menus and spoke good English. On the waiters recommendations, I ordered the Mixed... More

This was just round the corner from our Hotel (Palazzo Vichy) and the Reception staff recommended we try a meal here. We ate on a Thursday night getting here about 7pm and were seated immediately. It's an upmarket pub type restaurant with lots of good food on the menu at reasonable prices. The staff were fine although their English was... More

We were walking around, tired and hungry and needed to sit down and eat fast. To avoid going to McDonald's we decided to check the restaurant across the street. I was pleasantly surprised in almost every way. Service was good, atmosphere was good, interior was cosy and food was excellent with surprisingly low prices. Liked it so much I brought... More

Spacious, airy and friendly restaurant serving what I describe as "comfort food"............I had a meat platter, with potatoes, served with mushroom sauce............ and a couple of beers..........the whole bill was somewhere in the region of €15..............beat that for price..... The restaurant was busy, mostly locals, with a couple of strays like myself. The menu is worth further exploration............fried goose liver... More

A very nice place with local food. Large plates and nice prices. The drinks were very good. The food was just good, but better than other places.

Don't expect 5* dining but good quality, good value food with a big menu and friendly staff. Seems to cater for a lot of locals as well which is always a good sign and food is served until 2am. Try the cottage cheese dumplings with sweetened sour cream as local dessert :-)

The food was regular but I loved the environment. The staff doesn't speak English very well and that may give you the impression that they are not very nice, however they speak enough to understand you.

Below average meal. Ordered beef cheeks. They were tough as leather and tasteless. This restaurant is highly overrated and not recommendable at all. Service was ok.
