We found Pippa Etterem through a flyer being handed out by a lady in traditional dress outside the market hall next door a day or so before our visit. It was easy to find and we had a lovely evening. The waiters were very friendly...and helpful in assisting with our choices, the food was tasty and nicely presented . We had originally intended to only have main courses but ended up also indulging in traditional deserts followed by Palinka and coffee. Great evening and the final bill was very reasonableMore

Best old school Hungarian food of all the restaurants we visited! We had the chicken paprikas and a new one for us—Hortobágyi palacsinta!! Delicious! Charming old restaurant and decor, very affordable and right next to the Central Market!

We wouldn’t have known about this place if they hadn’t had a lady dressed in a traditional outfit handing out small menus outside the central market. Our group of six had a wonderful lunch experience. I ordered the roasted goose liver with grapes and potato...dumplings and my husband ordered the goulash soup. Both were excellent, as were the pancakes and chicken paprika that our friends ordered. Even though the restaurant was very busy, our server took the time to suggest a wine that paired well with my dish. He also graciously took our picture at our request. We highly recommend this delightful family restaurant.More

Probably the rudest staff of any establishment that I ever been to. Waited in line with people skipping it because the staff didn't do their job properly. The waiter and the bartender told us to f**k off, because we complained about that. A disgrace for...the entire Hungary.More

We had just arrived in Budapest and were out in search of authentic Hungarian food. We definitely found it here! I had a wonderful goulash and husband had the paprika chicken which was also delicious. On top of that the setting was very traditional, with...hand made decorations on the wall and Hungarian music. Also, you must try the local dark beer - tastes like salted caramel chocolate! Unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere else in Budapest so we had to come back here again! I definitely recommend this lovely restaurant for a warm, friendly Hungarian experience.More

I had pancakes and chicken paprikas. Both had the same tastless and unpleasant sauce. Some kind of bechamel I have never had in hungarian food before. Unfortunately a dissapointment…

Great traditional restaurant - nothing fancy, but I liked the interiors and tiny details (like garlic hanging from the wall). Folk music that was playing on the radio also added to the atmosphere. Besides goulash you can find all kinds of great local food. We...asked the waiter for the daily special and were not disappointed.More

The food here is very cheap and is quite good. Not the best that we ate on Budapest, but nothing was bad. Very warm service and at the end we enjoyed it.
