I came here for food a few days ago as it was recommended in my Budapest guidebook and wasn’t far from my hotel (the Mercure, on the other side of the park - Mercure Castle Hill). I can see why it was recommended - the...food is lovely. There’s a good choice on the menu. I really fancied a chicken paprikash, so I was very pleased when I saw it on the menu and chose that, as well as a chicken pancake for a starter. The chicken pancake was to die for - crispy and flavoursome. It was a generous sized portion without being too big. The chicken paprikash was a good sized portion too, and came with dumplings. The chicken was lovely and tender, and melted in my mouth. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Budapest and recommend this restaurant to others.More

We trying to go to the restaurant across the street but it was closed. The service was great and food was even better. My wife at the supper food salad. I had the the schnitzel I ask for grilled vegetables subtitled for the potatoes. No...problem, they gave me a plate of fresh grilled vegetables. We when back 3 more times during week vist to Budapest.More

While visiting the castle and Fisherman tower, we were aiming for the Jamie Oliver restaurant as recommended by friends, but looking at the menu, in the end we had no interest of eating Italian in Hungary. We passed by 21 HK on our way in,...and thought that sounded okeish, also would save us some minutes going out (we were to catch a plane). Very nice setting, clean and great service (we were there right at opening at 12:00). In the end we didn't really it Hungarian here either :-), but all dishes were superb in taste and presentation (schnitzel, duck breast and salmon). re: previous comments about waiters attitude, I have to agree that some of them looked a bit unamused, but the one serving us was quite nice and helpful.More

My wife and I finished our Castle tour and were walking through the nearby streets. We happened upon 21 and decided to stop in; no research, just as the doors opened. We had our choice of seats. The restaurant ambiance was very nice. Service was...prompt and professional. We both ordered wiener schnitzel with mashed potatoes. Pretty basic, right? The flavor was exceptional! My wife, who's a good cook, observed that the schnitzel was expertly pan fried, and seasoned perfectly. It had gone directly from the pan to our plates, and was served promptly. We weren't expecting a gourmet experience, but in our 12 days in Paris, Prague and Budapest, no other meal we had was as shockingly good as this was. The Michelin rating is well deserved. Was it worth 9 hours (x2) on a plane to get that lunch? Almost...More

All our food was tasty and fresh, although the chocolate cake with sauce and cream was not very special. Good service and delicious wines.

nice location on the hill old area in Buda, great and quality food, comfortable. Breast duck amazing, Goulash soup super. Staff could improve their smile.

Fish soup was nothing special. Worst was the attitude of the waiting staff. Aloof and dismissive .. one for the tourists. Give it a wide berth …

Deserves it's Michelin rating. Excellent food and portions. Service was excellent, nice atmosphere, prices are reasonable. Paprika Chicken was my choice which was excellent, Pike Perch went over will also.

The food is very tasty. Staff very friendly and professional. The price matches the quality. The location is very accessible. Recommendations.

This place was recommended to us by the agent of the Buda Castle tour bus as, a place to get an authentic Hungarian meal. We took a table outside and were served by Akos who talked us through the menu and made recommendations. Goulash Soup,...Beef Stew and Weiner Schnitzel (Hungarian style) were all perfect along with the excellent service. Kathy and SteveMore

Superb. Goulash soup as well as fish soup were just superb. We followed with the butternut risotto and the beef stew. Excellent. No room for dessert but we had an excellent Hungarian red wine. The service was exceptionally good.

Food was spot on great taste portion size full of flavor great atmosphere in a nice layed out restaurant Great service too
