Having lived in Budapest at a time when fine dining was hard to find (approximately 16 years ago), I was so pleased to find such a high-end restaurant in Budapest now Food was excellent, atmosphere welcoming, and sommelier was very enthusiastic, he gave us an excellent recommendation of a fine Hungarian wine – an unexpected find - after drinking cheap...

The "traditional" foie gras was NOT! There were small balls of liver surrounded by fat on a scattered bed of sauteed mushrooms.The only very good dish was the foie gras soup. The goulyash soup was ordinary. The venison was dry and overpriced. The two types of pork were very uninteresting. The veal was fairly good, but uninspired. The owner didn't... More

I just had dinner here. I was so disgusted with my experience with this restaurant that I came to back to the hotel straight away to write this review. From the start the waiter had an attitude and rushed us during our meal selection. He did not even explain the daily specials. We ordered the foie gras sampler which the... More

Hungarian food ingredients but still international cuisine! We had a 3 course dinner with wine and paid about 80 euro per person. I will definitive visit this place again.

Wonderful place to have dinner if you are looking for upscale Hungarian cuisine. The owner was very friendly and involved during our meal. The wait staff was very attentive and nice. For our dinner we had rump steak and duck, both were cooked perfectly.

This restaurant provides excellent food and atmosphere. In the evening it can come to quite an expensive meal, though, so bear that in mind. I'm not fond of fois gras but there was enough variety to find other dishes. The wine the server suggested was excellent as well.

Were invited by friends who have lived here for 6 years so they know where to take guests, know the right wines and know how things work. Had an amazing dinner. Started with an assortment of foie gras bites (foie gras creme brulle, foie gras in dark chocoate, and more) with a Tokai wine, followed by deer fillet with green... More

Foie gras samples was decent. Nothing special like other reviewers wrote. My wife had the venison was cook right. I had the rabbit which was a little dry. Overall decent atmosphere and a decent meal. Nothing really blow you away.

We had a great culinary experience at this cosy restaurant. My husband had already had dinner at this restaurant and wanted me to try it too. The atmosphere was relaxed and elegant at the same time and the service very attentive. My appetizer was simply amazing: different declinations of fois gras! I cannot say which one I liked more, but... More

We chose this restaurant to begin our four stay in Budapest and we made a wonderful choice! The friendly owner and his staff lovingly explained the menu and offered Hungarian wine pairings. Hungarian wines are not so well known in North America because of their limited production and you will be surprised by their high quality when you choose a... More
