Great service, great food and wine. Best place we went to in town. Late lunch is a good idea.

Our last night in Budapest we ate here. The owner waited on us with great enthusiasm and was very attentive. The restaurant was busy. The food was very good and we enjoyed the evening very much! It all could not have been better!

By far the best restaurant we visited in Budapest - much better than the bigger name, more touristy and expensive types. Small, intimate, on a small side street near the Four Seasons and Sofitel. We had some great Hungarian wine and traditional Hungarian food. Service was excellent and fun!

I come here on every trip to Budapest and am never disappointed. The menu is always delicious (try the goose liver selection) and I always listen to the sommelier. He never disappoints. Great wait staff, as well.

My wife and I spent two wonderful evenings here in this very romantic restaurant. The food was of an excellent quality and the staff wonderful and so very helpful. The food is best described as modern Hungarian and was some of the best we have eaten in Europe. Extensive wine list and very knowledgeable staff. Do not miss this restaurant... More

Tigris was recommended to me by two of my colleagues at the conference I attended. They specialize in upscale versions of classic Hungarian dishes. Overall, the food was very good and the service was even better. Trust the wine guys here--they directed us to two different Hungarian wines that we're truly spectacular.
