Very nice and welcoming place . Dinner with collegues on a normal Tuesday . Nice food and drinks , very pleasant staff , tasty traditional food , located in the heart of the city centre of Budapest . Excellent piano player . Must go .

Came here for dinner, and it sure was food. Had the goose breast, but it came to the table barely warm. I pointed it out to the waitress, and when the plate came back to the table, it was clear they’d just microwaved it, microgreens...garnish and all. The goose was already quite dry to start with, and microwaving it didn’t make it any less dry. The latkes my wife had were nice, even if I’m pretty sure there was salmon in one of them, so not as vegetarian as advertised. All in all the most expensive and worst dinner we had in Budapest.More

Very fun spot. The food is good, traditional Hungarian with a few options that reflect the location in the Jewish center of Pest (but this is not a Kosher restaurant). But the real attraction was the piano player who was there both nights. The first...time he played old broadway and jazz standards, on our second visit he played some 60's pop (John Denver and Carpenters). Sadly, he will be leaving to play on a Viking Cruise ship, but I suspect they will have other live entertainment and there was no cover charge. During our 10 day trip, this was the best overall restaurant experience (and we did not have any real losers).More

Warm hospitality in the heart of downtown.Spinoza has something for everyone..great traditional food,nice cocktails(spinoza café cocktail?)Piano player .Atila..He is an absolute joy to hear and a bartender with good singing skills,friendly and outgoing.

We actually went twice as the food was great on the first day (Thursday) and there was a Klezmer concert in the restaurant on Friday. We had a great time both evenings - and great staff that handled a food allergy (wheat) very well. Will...definitely come back!More

Wonderful food nice staff worm and welcoming. nice live piano music..really recommending it if you ever in Budapest

We tried to eat here on our first evening in Budapest but despite showing they are open until 11pm they decided to close at 9.30pm. Despite this we booked to stay on our final evening, after staying a week. The reception was very unfriendly and...we were shown to a table in the back room, on our own. We asked to move and we’re reluctantly accommodated, now at least able to hear the brilliant piano playing. The gentleman who served us was disinterested and made us feel unwelcome. The food was OK but very, very basic and served way too quickly. Not even being offered a dessert we left quickly trying to put this terrible experience behind us and luckily found a lovely bar with welcoming staff, as had been our general experience in this fine city. The one is for the pianistMore

It's a restaurant located in the heart of Budapest, a lovely place where enjoy the dinner with friends, well kept in every details. The owners and their workers are very kind and make the guest feel welcome. Il I ordered a traditional gulasch meat, a...very delicious plate, and I finish drinking the palinka, a flavored liquor. Excelent musicians with piano and violin.More

I had wandered around the area looking for a proper Hungarian restaurant and had almost given up hope ...when I found the Spinoza. I was welcomed by the friendly staff and given a lovely table. I chose the roast goose leg with red cabbage and...potatoes - it was perfect - juicy meat with crisp and tasty outside. A glass of Pinot Tokay was a great match. I thought I would eat and go but then the pianist started and was so good i had to have an excuse to stay and listen - so I ordered the excellent cake with poppy seed and apple and plum sauce. I was eating alone - next time i will bring along more people. I am also fascinated by the theatre - I will have to find out more about it - and the Klezma band fridays! Thank you all so much.More

Had the hortobagyi pancake and the beef goulash, the first tasted ok, but not exceptional, the second was warm rather than hot, also not exceptional, just a beef stew, expected something a bit more special, perhaps a little paprika, friendly service, nice piano accompanimentMore

We found this restaurant quite by chance, our original choice was fully booked, and this was by far the best place we ate at during our stay, although to be fair we had good food everywhere. This is an authentic Hungarian restaurant, the food is...delicious, the staff friendly and helpful. It’s also very good value for money.More

The restaurant looks nice, it took us back in time in a good way! Food was good. We didn’t like the 12% from total put it on bill…it is write so small in the menu especially you can see it.More
