Ask for Tal the owner, a very friendly guy with a passion for pleasing the guest. Food is reasonable and tasty, head to the Cafe around 7 or 8 on weekends to enjoy the piano player, guests often join in to sing...a great atmosphere! More

The selling point of this restaurant is without a doubt the fantastic atmosphere provided almost singled handedly but the brilliantly talented gentleman playing the piano (on our visit accompanied by his friends from switzerland). The food is also excellent and the service is pretty faultless and friendly. The place has a French vibe (but don't let that put you off... More

We came across this restaurant because my partner had checked TA in advance and he found many good reviews. Without any reservation, we went there and got a seat. Atmosphere was great with live piano music and kind waiters speaking fluent english. Food was very good: we ordered both the goose dishes wich I recommend very much. Result: 2 soups,... More

We went there by chance and were really lucky. The owner is a really nice person and guided us through the choice. Cakes were great (the spongy Somlo something is the best IMHO) and coffee was the best I tried in Budapest (being an Italian I think I am pretty reliable on that). WiFi provided. Thumbs up for everything! More

Great little find in the heart of Budapest, food was excellent but the guy playing the piano stole the show. Kept us entertained all evening, winking up at us from the piano every so often. Would definately recommend a trip in here More
