Excellent service, the staff were very friendly! The food was delicious especially the bolognaise! The homemade lemonade was also very tasty. Not too expensive would definitely return.

Excellent, quality food with friendly service. Went twice during our Budapest stay, an evening pasta and duck salad meal with reasonbly priced local wine and lunch time pizza meal with ice cold draught beer. Both great.

Enjoyed our meal but unfortunately the overcharge for one glass of wine (4170 HUF) around £9.30 left a sour taste. Ok it was a large glass of wine, but when questioned (after paying the bill) I was told it was equivalent of 3 glasses? It...was our first night (and my first glass of wine) so I found it hard to agree! 🙂. Clearly this happens to customers regularly (looking at other reviews). A real shame as the food was ok. Check your bill and question before you pay itMore

Called in around 8pm and had no problem getting a table outside. Nice bottle of rose to go with the pizzas ( x 4) waiters spoke excellent english and were very friendly all evening and attentive. Would definitely call in again. Bill for a family...of 4 with wine / soft drinks was £76 so good value for money.More

We went for dinner after the Hungarian Grand Prix. I would highly recommend you visit this restaurant if you are in Budapest. The food was amazing from start to finish! The espresso martinis were excellent and the after dinner digestif was delicious! The service was...amazing too, the waiter was very friendly and attentive. When I go back to Budapest I will definitely visit Sophie restaurant again!More

My husband and I went to Sophie's for dinner with a friend this evening and had an awful experience. The waiter got our appetizer order wrong. He forgot to put in the order for o u r main courses. My husband'smain course arrived and was...awful. The service was abysmal. Worst of all, there was no effort made by management to rectify the situation. Please avoid this place.More

Arrived late in Budapest at 9:15pm and the staff here still welcomed us in to eat despite the place closing at 10pm. I ordered the gnocchi with mushrooms and steak strips and it was delicious. Portion size was great and the price was reasonable too....No complaints at all. Staff were great and service was quick, we were out by 10pm easily.More

We came in with no reservation, which understandably can be a problem sometimes, apart from the fact they were not busy and no one with reservations came in after us either, so they stuck us in the corner near the door and next to the...tills, not a great atmosphere but we didn’t think much at first, we ordered the staff was very short with us when we ordered and didn’t seem to care to much, we both ordered steak and a jug of cucumber lemonade, the steak came and was the size of a 10 year olds hand, tiny and not nice at all, there were flys in our drink and the servers kept ignoring us. Food was overall average and seating was abit sh*t so we decided to ask to remove the service charge, we asked and they kept saying “well everyone else paid it, you should pay it” and we said “well we don’t legally have to pay it do we?” they said we do, come to find we don’t and we paid £80 for no good reason at all.More

We visited this restaurant during our first evening in Budapest, still a little travel weary. With my meal, I drank beer. My wife asked for a glass of a Hungarian, dry white table wine. The meal was fine and, although thinking the bill was as...a little high,and not being aware of the average cost of eating out in Budapest, paid it. Later, when it was too late to go back to the restaurant, I checked the bill. We had been charged 4,999 HuF for the glass of wine ie 12.50 eur. An absolute, deliberate ripoffMore

I went there to meet with one of my friend. It was a perfect place for this occasion. The place has a beautiful enterior and live music was provided also. The waiter was very kind and attentive. They offer a wide variety of dishes, even...offering alternative pastas for people with gluten intolerance. However, not only the service was great, but also the quality of the food. Everything we ate was delicious. I really recommend it! I will definitely visit again!More
