This restaurant is part of the Kempinsky hotel, which probably explains why the standards are high. It’s also right off the main fashion street so there’s a lot of footfall.
We had an amazing 4 course Xmas lunch, e cub we pre-booked, as part of...our hotel stay.
Because it was pre-booked and due to the nature of these festive catering events - I wasn’t expecting much - but wow was I blown away.
The ambiance and decor inside the bistro is lovely and there was a warm, Xmas atmosphere in there. Casual, but not too casual
Our waiter Akos Kiss was very helpful and efficient from start to finish.
The food was a mix of traditional Hungarian and typical western Xmas food.
Fantastic variety in the cold starters plate followed by the soup with all the sides and little extras. It was like 3 separate meals before we even got to the moan event!
Lovely choice of different meats for the main, I had Goose and she had Beef. Quite modern and minimal presentation, good flavours.
Desert was a buffet so we tried a lot of little bites and small portions.
Wine was included in the meal, as was the “buffet” element of some of the food - so basically you could eat and drink til you passed out. With this in mind, the wines and the sparkling was great quality!
One thing that stood out, was the incredible value - I think we paid around €50 per head. Amazing food, wine and great service.
Thanks ES Bistro!More
