This restaurant appeared in our guide book and checked out on Trip Advisor. We had a fabulous meal; smoked salmon with caviar followed by roast duck fillet in a cherry and honey sauce. The almond potato croquettes were to die for, crisp and not at all oily. The waiter made excellent suggestions regarding the wine. We had a bottle of... More

We had a lovely dinner at Bouchon. The fixed/degustation menu was fine, but I'm glad I chose to explore the à la carte menu instead. A few dishes that really stood out: the mixed appetizer plate (provided you're a carnivore - ribs, ham, goose, trout, sausage) and the sour cabbage + pork. Straight-forward, genuine food. Fast, attentive and flexible service.... More

After reading great reviews about this restaurant we made a late evening booking for after the Opera. The staff were friendly and welcoming and there was a lovely atmosphere when we arrived. We tried the tasting platter as a starter (which admittedly was a little disappointing), but the Asparagus started was possibly the best I have ever had. The Steak... More

I would have to say this would have been our most disappointing experience in Budapest. I'm cannot understand where these great reviews are coming from? From the time we were seated we should have known what we were in for. What type of restaurant has seating outside the toilets? And i mean right outside!! The food is extremely over priced... More

We had dinner here during our first night in Budapest, which was only a 10 min walk from our hotel. Of course it wouldn't be a trip to Hungary without trying authentic Hungarian food, thus I had to have the Hungarian Goulash and it was excellent. The only issue was the service, the waiters didn't seem very friendly and when... More

We dropped in without a reservation but the staff cleared a table for us even though they were relatively busy. Friendly and attentive service, relaxed atmosphere and good food! Not the cheapest place to eat out in Budapest, but well worth the price. The French chocolate cake was delicious! Would eat here again!

We were greeted like old friends and given lovely service. The menu was traditional Hungarian dishes, lots of meat, fish and sauces. We especially enjoyed the Tokay grape salad, along with salmon with pesto. Do reserve in advance because the locals love it too.

Found it on Tripadvisor and I'm so happy I did! Small restaurant but great menu, especially for authentic Hungarian food. Also great wines for normal prices and very friendly staff.

As a group of nine rather 'mature' friends, we were made very welcome, and found the restaurant lived up to all the excellent reviews. There was a large family party group in on the ground floor but this in no way impeded the excellent service and delicious meals we enjoyed in the gallery.
