I have been there after lock down in May,2021 and was amazed with the service and attention of waiters. It was a really pleasant evening. I decided to go there with my husband tonight to just have a couple of wine. We waited 10 minutes...after sitting down to get attention. Ordered 2 glasses of wine however waiter came back as they are out of stock and advised another. Accepted the offer, it was another famous Hungarian wine so no issues. However after my experience in May, when comparing, it was a failure. You can easily see that place has became a tourist trap, try to sell anything expensive. Some waiters are more into chat with women customers than serving. It lost its classy look already. Hope they will understand the difference with foreigners living in Budapest and tourists and change their attitude.More

We visited Cafe Vian tonight for the first time since the Covid restrictions have been lifted. I am an infrequent lover of black mussels (I know that they are all black!). If I am travelling to Brugge I know it is what I am going...to order, days in advance. But here in Budapest they don't make an appearance too often. But... they are always on the menu at Cafe Vian. The mussels tonight were in a white wine, creamy, onion sauce and were delicious!! Perfectly cooked mussels that were a delight but the outstanding star of the show, was the sauce! They should can it and sell it at the famous Budapest Great Market Hall (Nagycsarnok). Congratulations to the chef. My girlfriend had clilli lemon chicken with parmesan mash potato which was also delicious with enough spice to know the you had ordered a chilli dish. Quite informal dining and nice to enjoy a couple of drinks into the late evening without being rushed away. Top marks, all round!More

We visited the restaurant on Sunday night. We found easily open table but we had to wait ages for someone to come in our table so we can order. After we are waiting more ages, we had been served. The food was good but the...staff very unfriendly and rude.More
