We have a universal truth here in Hungary: these pancakes are best when made fresh, there's no argument about that. This is definitely not fresh, and I gotta admit a huge disappointment, because the prices suggest it is. For these prices they definitely shouldn't take them out of a ziploc bag, I have no idea for how long were they in there. Judging from the state of the crepes, it's more like the opening line from Star Wars : "Long long time ago"...
When you make them fresh, they are light and fluffy, The ones I had were definitely none of that. The only bright side was the filling, especially the poppy cream which is pretty amazing, but the crepes themselves are a total letdown.
On the bright side, the layered crepes are awesome, but the dish is served differently than regular palacsinta, so it doesn't have to be freshly made. But this is the only positive thing about this place.
I most likely won't be back anytime soon, and if friends from abroad would wanna eat palacsinta, I'd definitely send them somewhere else to do so.
Not worth it, overall rating is 2 only because of the layered crepes. Otherwise it would be a sure 1...

Basic Pancakes, nothing special to be honest. A bit overpriced for just flour, milk, egg and cheap cream. I tried the Oreo one and it tasted nothing alike. Hungarians say that it's a traditional spot open 24/7 in Budapest.

After several years it was time to revisit this place and go for Megyés Mákos palacsinta. Like always, the taste was great and prepared by friendly stuff. (Don’t be scared that it’s warmed in a micro - they are pre-baked already and just filled in time)
I recommend to sit upstairs with the big front window facing towards the Parlament (best to be seen in winter season when there is no leave on the trees).

It's one of these places that when you go on holiday you never want to encounter!
You see the menu and read that there are various types of pancakes, in reality you will be served a poor quality crepe, freshly cooked in the microwave and touched by the staff without even using gloves.
They don't do table service so you have to wait for your beautiful succulent dish to be ready 🤮! It is equally true that nothing here is too expensive but certainly adequate for the poor condition of the place, the unpleasant staff (in particular the overweight lady at the checkout) and obviously the food!
Here, hygiene is zero, dirty bathrooms with sinks that have been encrusted for a long time... and even safety requirements are lacking: power sockets in the ground and exposed cables in the lamps.
The women's bathroom (toilet) handle is out of order, either you have a friend who keeps it closed for you or you have to do it in front of the other girls waiting to enter!
Other? Ah, yes... The chocolate in my pseudo crepe devastated my stomach and belly... and I prefer not to go into details to avoid making you feel bad too!!!

Non vi sfiori l’idea di varcare quella soglia! Indecent hygienic level: subspecies of “food” beaten on the plate without the use of gloves and that was probably there for years. What they call “pancakes” are actually kind of softened and wrinkled crepes from the prehistoric era put in the microwave two seconds and still frozen inside... inedible!! If the Nas go, they'll put the owners in jail. If you want to stay fast with vomiting and trauma attached, this is the place.
(I put only one dot just because you could not put zero: terrifying, sucks!!!)

Not a fresh pancake and thin like a crepe. Serving lady looked soooo miserable and unwelcoming. Wouldn’t bother visiting.

The toilet looked like a murder scene from a horror movie and the food was the killer. Zero seasoning, 100% microwave.

We stopped here one morning for a quick breakfast: just coffee and crepes. The Black cherry crepe filling/topping was very good, as was the coffee.
I can’t say the service was anything but efficient. Not really very friendly.

We ate the "salty pancakes" and they were very bad, they were made in microwaves placed just behind the counter, the cheese was not melted and they were still cold in the middle

This is really nice place for Hungarian crepes. There is very good selection of sweet and salty ones. Service was quick.
Food and coffee were really good at very reasonable prices.

A good place for a quick eating. Staff is very kind. Quality coffee for a fair price. We spent an hour there with friends, finally.

Unfortunately, my husband and I decided to eat here spontaneously and my husband being native Hungarian was quite annoyed with the quality of both food and service which is not customary. Having had many Hungarian “Palacsinta” this was absolutely terrible and definitely not Hungarian standard. Best to find a real mom and pop place with quality food not microwavable slop.

I ordered a ham and eggs as breakfast. I saw the preparation: there was not real eggs, but some kind of yellow liquid, the toast bread was not fresh.
The furniture is outdated, needs some refurbishment.

The people who work in this place treat customers really harshly. Turists don’t deserve to be treated that way. They are not doing you any favour and they should be polite at all times and respect their costumers. The creps are not homemade and are really basic. Definitely not worth it.
