Not busy despite the great reviews. Food was really good. Cocktails were great. Service from the young girl and guy was spot on. Lastly very good value for money and would recommend to anyone visiting Budapest.

You must try the tenderloin with the potato and cocoa bean doughnuts and the sea bass. YUM. The chocolate dessert is divine. The chef is personable and extremely talented. Can compete with our very best in Chicago.
Chose this restaurant as close to our hotel but blown away by the quality of the meal. It wasn't just good, it was an order of magnitude better than the other places we ate at. Really fine cuisine without being pretentious. Defied my rule never to eat at the same place twice, and would have eaten there a third time...

We returned from staying at this hotel yesterday and sadly only made it to this restaurant on our last evening for a much needed emergency pudding and were not disappointed. We had a chocolate pud that was as light as a feather, everything about it was fantastic. Really excellent and would go back in a flash.
Small, quiet, with a delightful waiter and great food. We had an early dinner of chicken stuffed with asparagus and beef tips. Generous portions, competitively priced, well prepared and very tasty. Definitely a place to enjoy and recommend.

The athmosphere was warm, the service was great and the food reminded me why good chefs deserve to be handsomely paid. A very very pleasant experience overall. I will definately come back!
On our first night in Budapest we ate here. What a gem. Small and intimate. The ambiance and decor is superb. Attention is given to the finest detail. The waiters are neatly dressed in uniform and well trained and informed on wines and the food on offer. Try the goulash soup and the potato soup as starters. Be mindful that...

This is a place, that gave attention to detail. From the moment you sat down you felt that you were an important guest. The level of service was equal to any I have experienced in Budapest and better. The lady in charge and her staff took pride in being able to serve and provide not only a great meal, but...
