This restaurant is a bit off the beaten track but was worth tracking down. Good authentic Hungarian food with a buzzing atmosphere downstairs (because they were very busy and we hadn't booked we had to sit upstairs, which was much quieter).

Absolutely worth hunting down the backstreets off Andrassay Avenue to find. A delicious saturday lunch to top off a fab weekend in Budapest. Many locals eat here and it gets busy in the evening. The owner is such a helpful chap, he amended everything for me as i have a wheat and dairy allergy. Nothing was too much trouble. Make... More

Cafe Bouchon is a nice little gem that sits in the small streets close to the Opera house. It is a small family run restaurant that offers daily "Chef's special" menu. Their soup is awesome, one of the better ones I have had. Would totally recommend this place. Not open on Sundays.

A hidden gem! Visited after reading excellent reviews and was not disappointed. Food was reasonably priced, beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. We had the cheapest white wine on the wine list (around £8) and was one of the nicest wines I have tasted. For dessert I had crepe Suzette which was beautifully delivered with flamed Grand Marnier. Staff were really... More

Superb food in an atmospheric location up near the opera, I would highly recommend. Would have got an excellent review if the wine waiter had not selected a 30 Euro bottle of wine when asked for a recommondation.

A terrific meal. Terrific food at every turn, great service, a delightful bottle of a Hungarian Bordeaux blend (70% Merlot) -- this is a down home restaurant that serves excellent food at reasonable prices. Not inexpensive but very reasonable for the quality. We are going back for our last night in Budapest, and already looking forward to it.

Fine dining quality food, very nice red wine 3 courses £28 per head. You can eat cheaply in Hungary but the food here is well worth the cost. You would pay at least £60 for one bottle of the wine alone in London. Service is not the Ritz but they are very friendly and eager to please.

We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here, and it was just absolutely amazing! When we arrived they gave us the menu! They found out that the family is half english half hungarian, and they explained the menu both in hungarian and english! The service was just absolutely professional and personal! I asked them when we arrived if it was possible to... More
