They offered us the counter, and it was the best experience ever! If you have the chance, take it. Monika's service was a delight. She made us feel super welcoming and made great suggestions.
The food was delicious - at least what we tried (duck leg, mashed potatoes, and a traditional dish with pork meat inside a leaf. Was terrific).
It was a great experience.

What an experience! The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted by Monica, who graciously hosted me at the bar for lunch. Her expertise in recommending both food and wine was truly impressive, as if she had an innate understanding of my preferences. The ambiance exudes a perfect balance of relaxation and sophistication. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Budapest, as it promises an unforgettable culinary journey. The Espresso Martini was excellent.
A special thank you to Monica for enhancing my experience with her impeccable service and attention to detail.

This is really a place to remember. The atmosphere is 5 stars, obviously. It's a historical coffee place, over 100 years old, as I heard. Maybe grandma parents supplied coffee beans to them? The food was excellent. My choice? Arabic tortellini. Good and refined service . Perfect!!

Really great atmosphere in this place, you feel like you're somewhere in Paris. The staff was super friendly and everything tasted great. On the expensive side for Budapest, but it was definitely worth it.

In our opinion (my wife and I), this is the best restaurant in Budapest in terms of atmosphere and the taste of the dishes. The staff here are super friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place.

P.S. Today, while sitting at the bar, I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary glass of champagne. Thank you, Monica!

We had an incredible Sunday lunch here! Our waiter David gave us the best recommendations — we ordered everything he mentioned and were so impressed. The duck was especially tasty as was the eggplant schnitzel 😍

A five star gourmet restaurant! Wonderful ambiance! Super “service” attitude makes it different from other restaurants! Highly recommended for dates and gatherings! Looking forward to be there soon again 😉

Ben was absolutely amazing. The entire experience was 5*. He was attentive, caring and gave us the best possible experience. From explaining every single item, to showing us the range of meats and mains, we have had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Would come here again, and would recommend to our friends and family. Thank you Ben, absolutely amazing!!

Super great Location! One of a kind interior design. Classic brunch dishes, but super nice plated and taste is DELICIOUS! Our waiter was super attentive and everything arrived super quick. Mimosas are a must and do try the Turkish Eggs as well as Mac & Cheese!!!

Possibly the BEST restaurant in Budapest! Certainly some of the best food in Budapest, and most likely the best service. Absolutely surpassed our expectations. The food was amazing, the service was absolutely above & beyond, definitely a must visit in Budapest and far better than some other high rated but overrated places around.

We had the Kagoshima wagyu steak which was cooked to perfection, and if you know your steaks, you’ll know that Japanese wagyu steak is the best steak in the world. And we also had the potato gratin, which was lovely and just the right size and level of creaminess without being too rich.

From the get-go we were given a very warm welcome, and our server was just exceptionally attentive, kind and welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the dishes as well. There was so much attention to detail, thought and care into everything we were served. The bread and olive oil, which came with an optional spice, were delicious and on the house. The steak was served with 3 types of delicious dips. We were even offered some very lovely free champagne, as well as some little treats post-meal (as we did not order dessert). It was like little surprise gift after little surprise gift!

Not to mention the ambience, which is great. The decor is gorgeous, seats were comfortable, and it was very cosy and not noisy at all (we came for lunch). And everything was reasonable priced, more than worth the money given the quality, ambience, service, and generous freebies.

This lunch experience was definitely a highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend anyone in Budapest to visit! Thank you so much for the incredible food and even more incredibly warm service (sorry we didn’t get your name, but we had a very lovely and kind lady server), you have really made our trip :) <3

Nice place to be. Excellent atmosphere, great waitresses, very careful. David, our waitress was super great! Congratulations Guys!
I'll be back!

Whole experience from the moment we walked in was incredible. Food was some of the most amazing food we’ve ever had and Ben our server was brilliant. It was made very personal by all the staff and we were made to feel very welcome. Thank you for giving us the best first evening in Budapest!

The dining experience and food we had while on vacation in Budapest. The food was amazing the service exceptional! You won’t just eat a meal, you will have an experience to remember!

Yesterday we visited this wonderful place with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary. And the choice of this restaurant was the right one. From the first step we felt great, all the staff are happy to see you and very friendly. We were served by Máté and Bence. And it was the best service I have ever had. The waiter was a great conversationalist and helped us choose our dishes. And everything was very tasty. Máté was very polite to us and took care of us while we were in the restaurant. After such a dinner, you want to come back again and again! Thank you so much!

Great food and great atmosphere. We didn't want to leave. Sylvia was so accommodating, she took care of us so well.

Whether you dine inside or out, this is an absolutely charming space to be in. The service is top notch and the food is absolutely delicious, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The coffee is second to none - I say this as an Italian. Favourite breakfast haunt, but the menu looks great for any time of day. Is especially pretty lit by fairy lights in the evening!

Very great tasting and rich flavored servings all around, only downsize at the smaller portion, could have easily eaten double the amount.

Also very family friendly.

Dessert is a must have!

First time in this restaurant and we highly appreciated it! The best gyozas we have ever taste! The grilled almond tiramisu is also fabulous! Service is nice and food is delicious. However, keep in mind that this restaurant is not for small ticket… but quality is on!

Great, amazing, loved it. Must return!

This place has become my new measuring stick for bistros world wide.

It's soo my style and the food was heavenly, every bite was a delight. You can literally taste the care and attention to detail.

The staff is professional and upbeat, you feel cared for and it seemed to me that they enjoy being there.

It's definitely on the more expensive side🫰, but you can insert the "shut up and take my money" meme right here

They started us off with some bottled water, complementary sourdough and a plate of olive oil with a herb mix. Sounds plain writing it here, but I guess you had to be there. I imagine this is how sourdough was always meant to taste like. I need to tell all those pandemic home bakers about it 😅

I had the duck liver with eggs Benedict and a delightful hollandaise sauce. I asked for more sourdough and licked the plate clean🤣. My gf had the duck leg confit in champagne infused cabbage and probably the best mashed potatoes we ever tasted😅...also one the best duck leg I tried.

Good luck to us trying to recreate it at home...and failing 🤭 I think this is the main reson I go to a restaurant. To eat foods that are simply out of my league as a home cook.

I remember also having tea, quite a large pot..each. I guess one to share would have been enough ;p

I only have one negative...if you can call it that. Probably more of a recommendation or a wish...yes, a wish.
I wish the bottled water would have been complementary, or if you just offer it, maybe a lesser or local brand. It kind of stood out on the bill as a "I can't believe I paid this much for water".

PS: the wall with the celebrity autographs was a cool surprise and a nice flex. Handing out copies with the check is a baller move. I'd say the Matthew McConaughey photo was a good choice for us

Absolutely thrilled with our experience. First time in Budapest and happened to book Deryne, and so glad we did. Máté was great, amazing service and gave us excellent recommendations from the menu. Highly recommend coming here.
