Hi. We spent a couple day in Budapest so had plenty of time to try places to eat. Walking around we just ran into the piknik at lunch time. All the choices looked interesting and well prices were not in US dollors but in the...end not expensive. We both had the Hungarian ghoulash and that was great with bread.More
After I visited the Matthias church and the tower I ate a good langos with sausage and cheese near a good beer. It's was nice to eat in that place. It's true that it was saturday and it was a lot of tourists and I...expected a while but it was worth it. It's true that is a small spot but with a lot of people eating there.More
We were sightseeing in the area and wanted to know what the Hungarian cheese bread was. We ordered the bread and beer and sat outside listening to the music. Fun busy place. The food was good, this is a reasonable lunch food place not a...fancy restaurant but we very much enjoyed it.More
This is a small but very busy little spot. We ordered a langos with cheese and sausage. Had to queue for about 10 minutes but it was worth the wait as it was tasty and freshly prepared We only had one between us which was...enoughMore
If I could give ZERO stars I would. Busy place in a tourist area but we thought we would give it a try. Lined up for well over 20 minutes, the man in front of me ordered food, when I reached the “waitress” (I use...this word loosely because she lacked any customer service abilities at all!) less than two seconds after the previous customer, I tried to place my order to which she replied “no. Lunch is finished.” I asked what food we could get, considering the man in front of me just ordered food and the kitchen appeared to still be open, to which she shrugged and said “nothing” rather rudely with a nice eye roll. I wouldn’t have minded had she been polite and explained in a professional manner but she was down right rude. After reading their reviews I can’t say I’m surprised, should have checked their reviews first. AVOID!!!More
Everything was served on paper plates and plastic cutlery, had to wait 15 minutes for a sandwich at a quiet part of the day. Most likely just capitalising on tourists looking for the closest place to the bastion
One of the reasons you go for coffee is that you want to use the toilet facility. Here you had to pay to use the toilet. It must have cost them a fortune to install a turnstile. It wasnt as if it was accessible to...the public. I nearly walked out but I thought it would be free if you are a customer but we ordered coffee (which was OK but not fantastic). The coffee was HUF1800 for two EXPENSIVE and the toilet was 150HUF (50p). DiabolicalMore
I was so excited to go there cause it looked so cozy and cute. But I was disappointed and regret going there. The hot wine was smelly and tasteless. The food wasn’t fresh and didn’t smell good and half of the stuff that was written...on the menu wasn’t there. The girls were so rude and very impatient. There was a quieue for ages and the food was disgusting at the end. They charge customers to go to toilet and the place was soo dirty. Very overpriced for what you got and it wasn’t what I order either .More
Really enjoyed the sausage in a roll and couple of cold ciders/beers - just what was needed after lots of walking and not really dressed for restaurant dining.
Very bad goulash, water with potato and carrots. Langos is ok as is every fried dough. Ice cream was ok for kids.
Really great food. Had a langose - one of the best we have had and also the cabbage with pork - amazing too. Reasonable prices as well considering location.
Great location. Live music while we were here. Great food - hun dog and schnitzel with potatoes. Borsodi beers - really nice Came to 6600 huf - approx £17 but location makes it well worth it and typically huge Hungarian portions.
Stopped in to rest our feet, get a bite to eat, and have a cold beer. We split a sausage rolls, had a couple of pints, listened to the music and enjoyed the day. Highly Recommend.
The Piknik Pavilon was located right next to the Hilton Budapest on the Buda side of the river directly next to the church. Don’t get scared off by what appears to be street meat. They offer a delicious array of traditional choices. I highly recommend...the Hun-Dog which comes on a crispy baguette roll that is light and soft on the inside. It comes with a choice of pickle slaw which is mild, a little sweet and crunchy; ketchup and mustard. I got mine with mustard and slaw and it was fabulous! The sausage was smokey and greasy, just like a perfect sausage should be and the bread was crispy, chewy, and light. The brown mustard and slaw were a perfect complement to the fatty sausage. It was a winner. They have other choices which looked equally good like pork knuckle with roasted potatoes. Don’t get scared off by the “knuckle” part. It’s just roasted pork that has a little more fat like bacon. Looked great. When you are visiting the Old Castle area in Budapest, this is a perfect place for a quick lunch.More
Close to the Fisherman's Bastion, just behind the Tourist Centre Office. It was late morning, but the place was devoid of customers. We asked if they were open and were told "ten minutes". Whilst waiting, my wife visited the loo - (300 Huf). Ten minutes...later I was able to order a half litre of deliciously cold Staropramen, but everything else except coffee was still in the preparation stage. The massive sausages which were still being placed on the hot plate, looked very appetising, as did the apple strudel. They also offer an excellent range of ice creams. Unfortunately, we arrived too early, but the beer was served at a perfect temperature and the price was some 50Huf less than I had been paying elsewhere, despite the location in a top tourist area. Worth it, just for the beer! If we come again, hope we can order some sausages!More
