we usually visit this restaurant a few times a year with my wife or several times with friends. The style of waiters I would describe as friendly and easy. This time last week we celebrated our wedding anniversary and got the usual great experience. Their home made bread is always fresh and crispy and tastes well as a starter for... More

Wonderful meals, professional service! We usually visit this restaurant once or twice a year in order to celebrate a special occasion and we have never left disappointed. Both traditional meals and novelties can be found, the chef is rather innovative and you can try pretty interesting things (e.g. tobacco ice cream - it is wonderful).

I was back in the Bock Bisztro in the Corinthia Hotel and again, can only recommend this informal, but excellent restaurant. Try the gooseliver sushi as a starter, it is gooseliver with a perfectly marinated and glazed eel, separated by ginger. A perfect match, as strange as it sounds! As main course, I went for veal, braised and grilled. It... More

Have you ever eaten somewhere that you had been looking forward to and then were severely disappointed? This is what happened to us during our recent trip to Budapest where we dined at Bock Bistro. I made the reservation 3 days in advance because it was full on our first two nights in Budapest. I was expecting a really nice... More

I didn't realize that a rating was different from a review and I definitely feel that Bock Bistro Buda is deserving of a review. It was a beautiful spring day when we were in search of lunch and we had read about Bock Bistro adjacent to the outstanding Corinthia Hotel. There is a lovely outdoor seating area where we ate....

Great place, great food, great service but they will try to push you with wines and "today's specials" without telling you the prices. Do not hesitate to ask the prices, otherwise you may find yourself with a REALLY big bill to pay.

We had two excellent meals at this bistro in Pest - there is also one in Buda. We would have eaten there more but it was fully booked and is deservedly very popular. The service is good and friendly. There is a full menu and a range of daily specials which the staff (who all speak good English) will explain... More

You know it's a good restaurant when the daily specials are as many as the a la carte menu. The waiters were funny with a bit of an arrogant attitude but in a nice way. When we asked for recommendation for wine, he basically decided for us and said, I'll bring you a red for the starter and another red... More
