Excellent wine list. Quality Hungarian food. Service could improve for this price. The waiters are polite but some of them seem bored and do their job out of old routine without any excitement or respect to the customer. The younger waiters seemed more enthusiastic, the older waiters were a bit more bitter. Prices are average Western-European prices. Expensive for most Hungarians, but average for most Westerners. In Hungary you expect the absolutely best quality for this price. The beef tartar was nice, but somewhat boring for the price. It arrived readily made with a lot of butter and some random vegetables. I prefer to mix it myself with spices on the side and egg yolk in the middle. It felt like it came from the fridge. My thoughts were they mix a batch themselves in the morning and that's what customers get. The seasonal Christmas pork chops were tasty but not hot enough. It felt like they cooked a batch in the morning and didn't heat it high enough before serving in the evening. This is a major fault in a restaurant like Náncsi. The duck leg and liver was the highlight of the dinner (and the red wine). The most delicious duck I have had in the past 20 years and the liver was absolutely divine too. For this one dish it is worth to come back. The desert 'Somlói galuska' was said to be the best in Budapest by the waiter. Bold statement. It was good indeed, although not the best I have ever had. I prefer a bit more of the dark chocolate sauce and a hint more rum. In Kéhly restaurant it is better. Overall it was a very nice dinner experience, even for the slightly higher price. The waiters could be a bit more attentive and welcoming. We often had to ask for service when the need for service was obvious. I still recommend a visit as most of the food is absolutely delicious.

Traditional Hungarian restaurant in the Buda hills. Charming on the terrace in warm weather and also inside when it’s cold - no nicer place to go when there’s snow as there was on the day in December I visited. I enjoyed my schnitzel with chips and tomato and onion salad. With beer, a glass of wine and coffee, the bill came to HUF 9,085 (about A$50) - a bit pricier than your typical vendéglö, but it’s a particularly nice one and worth it.

I had pre-booked by email, but when we turned up we found the restaurant had had to close for technical reasons. We were very disappointed as Nancsi Néni is the perfect place for an outside meal in the summer. I contacted the restaurant and got an extremely apologetic email from the manager explaining that we had inexplicably got left off the advisory emails that they sent out. She offered us a free mail for our family of four for inconvenience. If you don’t live in Budapest then you will not understand what an unusual, courteous and generous offer this. Add to that I know the food and service will be excellent: as i always has been for the past 30 years that I have been going there.

Just came back, went there based on FB group recommendation and had one of the worst experiences here in Budapest where I reside last 6yrs +. Hospitality of few employees non existent, example (it's nothing new for us that waiters in BP can be rude, bitter or zero flexible, but you get used to it) terrace during lunchtime one third full (and it stayed like this during whole lunch) but young lady in charge refused any our attempt to sit there but giving us option of going inside where we've been only guests because biggest asset of this restaurant is terrace. Immediately we felt unwelcome but ok since we're here let's try the food and that was big mistake, instant mashed potatoes, chicken stew tasted like they mixed paprika powder with water, really below average, any lunch canteen provides much better food and not overpriced like here plus mandatory tip cca 10% and for what?? Avoid it

Today's lunch at Aunt Náncsi's restaurant was an unpleasant experience.... I have liked the restaurant since the 1980s, and I visited it again after almost 40 when I lived in Hungary again. Many things have changed, which does not show the restaurant in a good light. The quality of the food is mediocre at best, the service is very polite, but nevertheless it does not meet the minimum standards... Of course, I understand that times change, but it is difficult to understand that in the light of many years of success, they were unable to maintain the most basic things at a high standard. Inattentive and slow service to mediocre food explaining in a lecture style why it was slow.... ....the price is what it is...it wouldn't matter if it represented the quality that made them popular. Today's is just a sad story about how to systematically spoil something exceptionally good. I'm really sorry, it's a shame...

Unprofessional staff. We have booked a table for 2 for Sunday evening dinner, for 20:45. We arrived at 20:48, and 5 waiters stood in the hall, not even looking at us first But discussing with eachother that the cook is not making more dishes. No welcome and noone was apologetic. It took a 40 minute cab ride for us to get up there from Hero’s square then right back into a cab. We spent more than 10k HUF on cab fare plus our time. I was very upset by their careless attitude. We were here before and the restaurant is top notch. The food is so good that maybe even after this case we will still visit in future. But the staff have too much pride to treat customers this way. Please tell your chef not to leave for home if you have accepted a booking or inform the customer of cancellation.

While the food was not bad, it was served very simply. No decoration, only the meet and side on the plate. We have been visiting occasionally for 20 years now , and unfortunately a great declination can be observed in quality over time, while prices are kept high. Another painpoint is the missing steak and generally the better quality beef food. For instance, they prepare "Hagymás rostélyos" on request only but also only from pork, which is very disapponting. When asked why no steak, they told me the buying price of quality beef meat is too high, which I find a ridiculous reasoning given the wealthy location and guests. Greatly diappointing experience, won't go back for a long time.

I have visited this restaurant almost every time I come to Budapest during my visits the last 20+ yrs. This place has excellent food that brings back the tastes of my mothers cooking from childhood. Simple dish like tökfőzelék is a flavorful delight. My Hungarian relatives love this place. I have no clue why some places f the low reviews. Yes it is a popular place and need a reservation. Great service with good advices. For desert must try the madár tej. The cold fruit soup, strawberry this time, is amazingly refreshing. And if you are a schnitzel fan, The giant schnitzel is the best

We were here for lunch with the family during the week. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions. The main courses were particularly impressive with the lamb and duck, with their crispy skin and tender meat. Starters are OK, but nothing special - and unnecessary considering the size of the main courses. Better to leave a little room for dessert. :-)

Ha igazi magyar házias ízeket keresel, véleményem szerint Náncsi Néni vendéglője a legjobb étterem ahová betérhetsz Budapesten! Bőséges adagok, finom ízek és nagyszerű kiszolgálás. Igazi kockás abroszos étterem a kifejezés legjobb értelmében. If you are looking for real homemade hungarian taste, I think this is the best place in Budapest! I write this opinion as a rural Hungarian who knows and love the real hungarian flavors! ;) That's why it's worth going from Pest to Buda! :)

We caught tram to go on children’s railway , but as missed train went here for lunch 15 min walk away . Went here in 90s and hasn’t changed much . Good Hungarian food , massive portions , efficient staff and packed with locals ! Csulok as good as we have had in Budapest . Delicious duck , my son loved his Vienna schnitzel. Wine list good , though good in all reasonable Hungarian restaurants . For nostalgia this is still a great place to visit . I wouldn’t go here especially unless I lived in Budapest but as part of day out on children’s railway it was great . Garden closed in winter which was always attraction of place but inside makes you feel you are in real Budapest

I had a dinner with friends in this restaurant. If you want to try something outside the center, this is the right place. It’s very nice and the waiters are very kind and friendly. We tasted typical Hungarian dishes and were really good. I recommend it.

This was the best meal we had while in Budapest. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Excellent choices in wine to accompany the dinner. Accordion music was a plus the evening we were there! A must try for Hungarian Food.

We were there on May 15. Two of four got serious stomach problems from the Gulash soup. The pig side was too greasy and over fried.
