This bistro was recommended by our hotel - the service was slow (waited 45 minutes for our wine to appear), choice very limited (two of 6 main courses were sold out), chose the fish soup for starters ... told to expect mussels, tiger prawns, etc - got 1 prawn and two mussels (although one shell was empty) - main course...

We enjoyed dinner twice at this Bistro on our recent visit to Budapest and were very impressed with both the service and the quality of the food. A different slant on some local dishes and very nicely presented. I had the homemade pasta with lamb ragu which rivaled any Italian restaurant. One night we enjoyed the outside tables, the other...

At the corner of a pedestrian promenade, both inner and outer tables are intimate. Even seated outside, you don’t feel to be eating “on the street”. The food is astonishing, we tried starters, meal, seafood and desserts, they were all absolutely excellent! We are Italian and never eat pasta abroad… we tried and also pasta was like in best Italian... More

We walked by it during the afternoon and decided to visit it at night because of the look of the place. The diner on the terrace was very nice, I loved the Hungarian cuisine. Would recommend the place to anyone.

We booked a table here online before we went to Budapest and they replied advising us they were having a 'wine duel' the night we were there. We weren't quite sure what to expect but were so glad we decided to go! We had a 5 course meal, with 2 (small) glasses of wine with each course - one Hungarian... More

A group of us had a wonderful dinner at Borsso. Our table was set before we arrived. The Manager greeted us at the door. The service was impeccable. The presentation was both attractive and creative. Best of all, the food was great. Staff suggested a couple of Hungarian wines that we enjoyed immensely. For the setting, the service and the... More

Borsso Bistro is a French Hungarian Bistro. Nicely decorated and good atmosphere with pleasant helpful staff. Food was all good if a little deconstructed (which I don't particularly like) but where the chef isn't messing around the food is good quality and thoughtfully prepared. Quite expensive for Hungarian standards but worth it.
