When it’s tasty, good authentic cuisine there is no words. 👍👍👍👍 Thanks to all the staff and the owners for doing what you love so much! In this place you’ll enjoy a tasty authentic Hungarian plates and high service. This evening we tasted an Hungarian goulash, duck leg with sour cabbage and dumplings, a plate with starters and cold fresh cherry bear🇭🇺 And last we tried two traditional deserts. Everything was amazing! I’ll recommend to book the table beforehand because it’s a very popular place and not very spacious.

Really enjoyed everything in this restaurant. To better describe this place, I will mention that in the first page of the menu you can read the story of this restaurant in which the owners, being abroad, missed their grandmothers food and hence this restaurant was created to share the meals they grew up with with everyone else. I have to say that they really achieved the idea with which they conceived this restaurant. It is cozy, offers a very friendly and warm service while the menu is well covered with traditional Hungarian dishes elaborated with locally sourced products. It is a pleasure eating in this place, delicious and fresh food as a Hungarian grandmother would do. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Budapest who wants to enjoy tradicional Hungarian food, or who just wants to enjoy a good meal in a cozy atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) This place is brilliant! Very professional service. The bistro is small so make reservations. Live music is a big advantage, as well as a very romantic interior. We had the pleasure of trying the goulash soup, which was very good, filling. We get bread in the soup and if there is not enough of it, the staff brings an extra portion and adds water. We paid 7000 ft for two goulash soups, beer and wine. We received a welcome starter in the form of bread with a paste, and a goodbye glass of local alcohol. This is a place where the client feels 100% taken care of. I recommend! (Original) To miejsce jest genialne! Obsługa bardzo profesjonalna. Bistro jest małe, dlatego warto zrobić rezerwacje. Dużym plusem jest muzyka grana na żywo, bardzo nastrojowe wnętrze. Miałyśmy przyjemność próbować zupy gulaszowej, która była bardzo dobra, sycąca. Do zupy dostajemy chleba i jeśli go zabraknie, obsługa przynosi dodatkową porcję oraz dolewa wodę. Za dwie zupy gulaszowe, piwo oraz wino zapłaciliśmy 7000 ft. Na przywitanie dostaliśmy przystawkę w postaci chleba z pastą, a na pożegnanie dostaliśmy kieliszek lokalnego alkoholu. To miejsce, w którym klient czuje się w 100% zaopiekowany. Polecam!

(Translated by Google) I recommend !!! Delicious food may not be the cheapest, but the atmosphere of the place is great. There are only a few tables and that's it - then the service has time for you. Two nice ladies speak excellent English. (Original) Polecam !!!Jedzenie pyszne może nie najtaniej ale atmosfera miejsca jest wspaniała.Jest tam tylko kilka stolików i o to chodzi - wtedy obsługa ma dla Ciebie czas.Dwie miłe panie świetnie mówią po angielsku.

Very delicious food! :) I had the goulash soup, the stuffed cabbage and the Hungarian sponge cake and everything was exactly like what it needed to be to make me happy. The service was very friendly, fast but not pushy and so I left the restaurant very happy. That is exactly what I was looking for so I had a perfect dinner at this little beautiful restaurant. Just make sure to make a reservation beforehand, I was very lucky to get a free place for one person because I was there just at the right time it seems.

Really nice and friendly place... Food was good, we really enjoyed our meal... Service was also good and polite... Recommended if someone wants to try some local food.

The food was amazing!! The restaurant was super cute and the staff very nice!

A gem in a small restaurant. Well kept and very efficient and polite staff. Traditional Hungarian food. Excellent good sized dishes and great tastes. Highly recommended BUT reservation is a must to avoid disappointment. Keep it up girls.

Staff was very kind, the place is beautiful and feels special with all the details and decoration. Dishes were delicious, especially the stuffed cabbage. There was even live piano music!

The food was excellent and that's it. I've never eaten such a good duck leg in my life.

Felt like being invited to someone's home! Super cozy environment, furnished like grandma's home, full of tools from the past and a simple intimate restaurant. The food was really genuine and really good. The staff friendly and easy going. Definitely a pleasant, delicious memory in our Budapest trip

Everything was just perfect! Amazing food, very nice ambience, great service, fairly priced. The best restaurant we have tried during our trip to Budapest. Make sure to reserve a table for dinner as the place is always full.

A small but cosy place with some authentic Hungarian food! Always lots of people so if you don’t like gambling, book a table in advance. The staff is super nice and the prices are affordable. Highly recommended!

Food is szuper! Very good taste and the Chef make good transformations giving new face for traditional Hungarian food. One of the bests. Staff is kind, charming and friendly. Atmosphere is gracious and the music is comfortable. Highly recommend

Great place, service at the highest level - despite the lack of a reservation, the staff conjured up a table for one hour for us. The dishes are wonderful - delicious and worth the money - the atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful and live music. I highly recommend it - this place is a must to visit and taste Hungarian cuisine. I recommend highly !

Can I Give 6⭐️? First of all the staff are really friendly and super nice. Also, you will be amazed by the decoration because it’s super interesting. We came up as a group and ordered duck leg Endrodi chicken breast. They were amazing. Great texture, portion and style. They taste awesome. You definitely need to try them. Also there are some drinks and they are bigger than you expect. I would put this restaurant in my top 5 ever list. There was a service fee as they served us with sour bread and Hungarian snack at beginning and also at the end with alcoholic drink.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming Hungarian restaurant on a fine evening. The experience was delightful, as I savored a variety of traditional Hungarian dishes. The tenderloin was rich and hearty, the beef cheek had a perfect balance of spices. The warm and cozy atmosphere added to the overall experience, making it a wonderful choice for those seeking an authentic taste of Hungary on a special evening. The service personnel were amazing and helpful, and we complimented the Chef specifically for the food! Highly recommended!!

Delicious meal at a cosy restaurant with live piano. They also have complimentary starter and alcoholic shot to finish. The food was delicious and a great introduction to Hungarian food.

The service from the young ladies here is amazing and they speak great English. Combined with the live piano music is even better. It adds to the complete atmosphere of being in your grandma's kitchen. The food portions are quite filling and what I had ordered (meatballs with mashed potatoes) was very tasty, albeit just a tiny bit salty. Overall great place where I felt at home. Definite recommend.

(Translated by Google) Friendly and unique little restaurant. The staff is super nice. We got a free sausage cream tasting as an appetizer while we waited, and at the end with honey brandy as a farewell. We ate goulash soup and pork tenderloin, which was very delicious. (Original) Barátságos és egyedi kis étterem. A személyzet szuperkedves. Ingyenes kolbászkrémes kostolót kaptunk előételként, amíg vártunk, a végén pedig mézes pálinkát búcsúzóul. Gulyáslevest és sertésszűzet ettünk, ami nagyon finom volt.

Highly recommended! Traditional home-cooked Hungarian food and very friendly service. Decor gives it a cozy feel. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up quickly. Don't miss it whether you live in Budapest or just visiting.

One of the best "local food" place i have been so far, its not just the food, the decoration and the staff is 5/5

Typical Hungarian restaurant where I felt immediately at ease. Tasty food and honest prices. There's a piano bar that played for us "Ancora" of Eduardo de Crescenzo: unbelievable.

Absolutely wonderful! Extremely friendly service and traditional finely executed dishes. Great atmosphere. Come with a reservation.

What a lovely place. We made a dinner reservation for out 1st night in budapest and had a great experience with the food, the atmosphere, and the service. This is a very small place, maybe 7-8 tables, so make sure to make reservations before as we did.

The best food place to go!! We loved it. Very affordable.

I believe we found one of the best Hungarian restaurant with it’s warm, relaxing atmosphere. The live music was played by a pianist that gave a pretty good match with the surrounding. The decoration and the lighting make you feel you are in home. Service was excellent and attentive. Roli (as much as remember his name) made our night unforgettable. Have a look on the food that was excellent and surprisingly light and well presented. Highly recommended to people who wants to try traditional authentic Hungarian dishes with a twist of high elegance.

This is a very high quality traditional Hungarian restaurant serving food that Hungarian mothers would be proud of. The service is super, attentive and professional. The food has generous portions and will easily fill you up. Prices are reasonable for the standard, area and interior decor. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience at Retek. It has a really nice atmosphere with live piano and tasteful decorations, and a well designed menu. Despite being crowded we got a table right away and the staff were very polite and welcoming. We had the stuffed cabbage, pork ribs, pasta, and fried meatballs and my favorite was the stuffed cabbage! They are all delicious worth trying. Would come here again for sure

First of all, the food was amazing. Great traditional dishes presented in a modern way. Service excellent. Always supportive, fast and friendly. Dishes were extremely good. Nicely decorated interior. High recommendation. Keep up the fantastic experience 👌🏼.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming Hungarian restaurant The experience was amazing, er tried a variety of traditional Hungarian dishes. The goulash and the meatballs were delicious. The atmosphere was warm and cozy making it a wonderful choice for those seeking an authentic taste of Hungary on a special evening. The staff were amazing and helpful! Highly recommended!!

Very nice restaurant! I wouldn't even call it a bistro... very cool. Very tasty and friendly. We ordered goulash and another dish, wine and beer. First, they brought us water and a small snack. And when they asked for the bill, they gave more liquid. I recommend!

Absolutely fantastic!!! We were guided here from another restaurant that was full. No regrets for the replacement. Food was 6/5, service very kind and helpful. Our first meal ever in Budapest and couldn't be happier. Super high recommendation!

Awesome ungharian food, great service.

Absolutely amazing. Went there 3 nights straight - not kidding. My favorite: the “sült kolbász” starter.

It has been an amazing lunch, with handmade Hungarian food, tasty, delicious and in a very cute and cozy place!! Just lovely.

Delicious local food, very nice place and service, lovely decorations, best place in Budapest. I recommend. Great.

Authentic Hungarian cuisine at affordable price!! Must come!! We actually went to a famous hungarian restaurant which was fully booked and they recommended us to come to this place! Apparently, its the owner's sister's restaurant. We ordered the retek menu and pork dish. Both were fantastic! Adding another 5 star review for this place! 👍🏼👍🏼

small cozy family like restaurant in the middle of city. try to bookif you are coming at the high time the duck leg is good, surprisingly fat. but still tasty good. wine is strong. price is reasonable I guess, cheaper and better than most of the “restaurants”in the city. overall I'd recommend this restaurant, the duck leg is fat but still worth a 5 star.

The best meal we had whilst staying in Budapest! Cannot speak highly enough of this family run restaurant; the food was simply amazing, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was charming (made better by a pianist). This is the best food experience we have ever had, so if you're in Budapest then Retek needs to be at the top of your foodie list. A word of advice, book a table so you are not disappointed as we saw so many turned away during our visit.

Absolute gem. Everything was delicious and authentic. Ambiance was great and included someone playing the piano while we were there. We ordered the stuffed cabbage and the meatballs and both were great. We also ordered the sponge cake as dessert almost as an afterthought and it may have been the best dessert I ever had. You should really make a reservation, though we did manage to squeeze in by walking in and being a bit flexible on the timing.

We had a fantastic time. :) Attentive and super friendly service. Amazing food and atmosphere. Thank you :)

The ideal restaurant option for those looking for typical Hungarian food. It was the best tomato soup I've ever eaten. The attendants are very friendly.

(Translated by Google) Hungarian bistronomy, decor and music put you right in the mood. Great service and with a smile. Small digestif offered to you. Nice menu with the Goulash soup, then the duck confit, the dessert stalls your stomach and you just have to take a long walk in the afternoon! (Original) Bistronomie Hongrois, décor et musique vous mettent directement dans l'ambiance. Service super et avec le sourire. Petit digestif offert vous est proposé.

(Translated by Google) The space is a bit tight, but the food is okay. (Original) Kicsit szűkös a hely, de a kaja rendben van.

(Translated by Google) I fell in love with this place. The charm itself! Delicious food, attentive service, interesting decor with a pinch of salt, real flavors, surprisingly good alcohol :) ... you can feel a bit like at Grandma's ... I highly recommend it.

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend ! If anyone would like to try Hungarian cuisine in Budapest, only here! Delicious food, prepared on the basis of family recipes. The owner, who happened to serve us, was very nice, talkative :) the price was adequate to the quality and size of the dishes :) (Original) Bardzo polecam !

Great food, amazing service, good pricing.

Love you guys <3 :)

Amazing food, value for money, gentle and kind waiters, relaxed environment, and offered drink in the end. Highly recommend place to visit.

Extremely nice and delightful small bistro. Very lovely waitresses. The food is absolutely amazing, serving hungarian dishes. Portions are very big, and prices are very nice considering it is Budapest. I highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant. The typical Hungarian food is very good there (a bit filling but that's normal). And the service is perfect :) (Original) Très chouette restaurant. La nourriture typique hongroise y est très bonne (un peu copieux mais c'est normal). Et le service est parfait :)

(Translated by Google) Like in grandma’s kitchen. As the title suggests, the Retek Bisztro is not for people who are looking for a large, modern and simple restaurant. Personally, I was initially very surprised about the '' size '' of the Retek and if it had been from the outside, if I hadn't been walking with Google Maps in my hand, it was almost overlooked, but inside it was a feeling of true tradition, down-to-earthness and one had Due to the few available tables and correspondingly fewer guests, more '' privacy '' than in huge, overcrowded restaurants. I also read among the other reviews of the Retek that the operation was very slow or disinterested, but I can only write in my review what I noticed and I can not support this opinion with the best of will. The waitress did exactly what I imagine a good waitress would do: We hardly had to wait after we sat down at the table and the cards were brought to us. People were interested, attentive but not too intrusive or asked with too long time intervals what we would like to drink, whether it should be a starter or an aperitif and later after the main course. In between, the glass of water was filled up here and there by the waitress and even in the situation where I asked for a recommendation of a good meat dish, I can only say again that the waitress seemed very interested and no wish from one has knocked off an extra ingredient on the meal or a tasting of the wine. In my opinion, it is often details that make a restaurant stand out. Waiting time must always be taken into account, but even at this point, the small room and the few guests associated with it were very much in favor of the chefs, as all the dishes were served comparatively really quickly and the waiting times were generally very limited. Even the detail that you weren't just served a basket of bread (we're not talking about an ordered side dish, but the standard moderate white bread, which is always available with it), but the bread basket was laid out with a nice napkin and a small one Pot of hot sauce was served. The sauce or the dip went down very well with me. Some people like it simple, filigree and simple, but for me as a passionate eater the atmosphere came across as very domestic and comfortable. Garlic hung from the walls, cute decorations, sausages and meat hung over the shop window next to the front door and the entire counter was decorated with pickled olives, peppers, pickled cucumbers, various types of wine and much more and one was already looking forward to the meal to let. I can't say much about the dishes themselves because they were just extremely delicious. We were there with eight people and everyone was pleasantly surprised by their meal. Even simple pork chops were accompanied very well with traditional Hungarian spices, onions and peppers and still resulted in a unique taste experience. But I liked the lamb even better, which my father ordered with homemade spaetzle. We also found the wine very good! Similar good dishes can certainly be found in many other restaurants, but the Retek is clearly characterized by the cozy and traditional atmosphere, in which you are more to yourself and are also better taken care of. This is exactly where the title of this review comes in. In my honest opinion, this restaurant is really worth a recommendation! 5 Stars. best regards Patrick (Original) Wie in Omas Küche. Wie der Titel schon verrät ist das Retek Bisztro nix für Leute, welche auf der Suche nach einem großen, modernen und schlichten Restaurant sind. Ich persönlich war anfangs auch sehr verwundert über die ''Größe'' des Retek und hätte es von außen, wär ich nicht mit Google Maps in der Hand gelaufen, beinahe übersehen doch im Inneren war es ein Gefühl von wahrer Tradition, Bodenständigkeit und man hatte durch die wenigen verfügbaren Tische und dementsprechend wenigen Gäste auch mehr ''Privatsphäre'' als in riesigen, überfüllten Restaurants. Ich habe unter den weiteren Rezensionen zu dem Retek auch gelesen dass die Bedienung sehr langsam bzw desinteressiert war doch ich kann in meiner Rezension bloß das schreiben was mir aufgefallen ist und ich kann diese Meinung beim besten Willen nicht unterstützen. Die Bedienung hat genau das getan was ich mir unter einer guten Bedienung vorstelle: Wir haben so gut wie gar nicht warten müssten nachdem wir uns zu Tisch gesetzt haben und schon wurden uns die Karten gebracht. Es wurde Interessiert, aufmerksam aber nicht zu aufdringlich oder mit zu großen Zeitabständen nachgefragt was wir trinken möchten, ob es eine Vorspeise oder ein Aperitif sein soll und später nach dem Hauptgericht. Zwischendurch wurde hier und da auch noch das Glas Wasser selbstständig durch die Bedienung aufgefüllt und selbst in der Situation wo ich nach einer Empfehlung eines guten Fleisch Gerichtes gefragt habe kann ich nur nochmals sagen dass die Bedienung sehr Interessiert gewirkt hat und einem auch keinen Wunsch von einer extra Zutat auf dem Essen oder eine Kostprobe des Weines abgeschlagen hat. In meinen Augen sind es oft Details die ein Restaurant herausstechen lassen. Wartezeit muss man zwar immer einberechnen aber selbst in diesem Punkt kam den Köchen der kleine Raum und die damit verbundenen wenigen Gäste sehr zu Gunsten, da alle Speisen vergleichsweise wirklich schnell serviert wurden und die Wartezeiten sich allgemein sehr in Grenzen gehalten haben. Sogar das Detail dass man nicht einfach bloß einen Korb mit Brot serviert bekommen hat (wir reden von keiner bestellten Nebenspeise sondern dem Standart mäßigen Weißbrot was es immer einfach so dazu gibt), sondern der Brotkorb extra mit einer schönen Serviette ausgelegt war und mit einem kleinen Töpfchen scharfe Soße serviert wurde. Die Soße oder der Dip kam sehr gut bei mir an. Manch einer mag es vielleicht eher schlicht, filigran und schlicht, doch für mich als leidenschaftlicher Esser kam die Atmosphäre sehr häuslich und bequem 'rüber. An den Wänden hing Knoblauch von der Wand, niedliche Dekorationen, Würste und Fleisch hing über dem Schaufenster neben der Eingangstür und der gesamte Tresen war mit eingelegten Oliven, Paprikas, Gewürtzgurken, verschiedensten Weinsorten und vielem mehr geschmückt und hat einen schon gespannt auf das Essen sein lassen. Zu den Speisen selbst kann ich in sofern nicht viel sagen weil sie einfach nur extrem lecker waren. Wir sind mit acht Leuten dort gewesen und jeder einzelne war positiv überrascht von seinem Mahl. Selbst simple Schweine Koteletts wurden mit traditionell ungarischen Gewürzen, Zwiebeln und Paprikas sehr gut begleitet und ergaben ein dennoch einzigartiges Geschmackserlebnis. Noch besser hatte mir jedoch das Lamm gefallen, welches mein Vater mit hausgemachten Spätzle bestellt hatte. Außerdem fanden wir den Wein sehr gut! Ähnlich gute Speisen findet man sicherlich in noch vielen weiteren Restaurants doch das Retek zeichnet sich ganz eindeutig durch die gemütliche und traditionelle Atmosphäre aus, in welcher man mehr für sich ist und sich auch besser um einen gekümmert wird. Genau an dieser Stelle kommt übrigens der Titel dieser Rezension in's Spiel. Meiner unverfälschten Meinung nach ist dieses Restaurant wirklich eine Empfehlung wert! 5 Sterne. Liebe Grüße Patrick

(Translated by Google) Just great evening! A very cozy restaurant with wonderful traditional dishes. Friendly staff and a beautifully designed restaurant with great attention to detail. In the evening we were served personally by the owner, who could tell us a lot. There was also relaxed jazz live music which was also an enrichment. The menu is not very comprehensive, but every dish is very tasty. There were 8 of us in the evening, which is why we were able to test many dishes and always with a positive answer. The waiting time and prices were also perfectly fine. Definitely highly recommended if you want to try traditional Hungarian cuisine and hope for pleasant service. (Original) Einfach nur toller Abend! Ein sehr gemütliches Restaurant mit wunderbaren traditionellen Gerichten. Freundliches Personal und schön gestaltetes Restaurant mit viel Liebe im Detail.

Die Karte ist zwar nicht groß umfassend aber dafür ist jedes Gericht sehr lecker. Wir waren am Abend zu 8, weswegen wir demnach auch viele Gerichte testen konnten und immer mit positiver Antwort. Ebenso waren die Wartezeit und Preise vollkommen in Ordnung. Auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man traditionelle ungarische Küche ausprobieren möchte und auf einen angenehmen Service hofft.

7 table intimate dining serving authentic Hungarian food and wine. The food and service was outstanding. They had lots of interesting embroidery and local curiosities on display. They had a keyboard player who played very pleasant accompaniment to our meal. Reservations are a must and we made ours 2 weeks in advance. This was a great start to out Budapest vacation.

We have been for a dinner in June this year. Great location near the Parliament, cozy and nice atmosphere, service is great. We started with amuse bouche from the restaurant before serving us the meals we ordered. We had a Goulash soup, there is also a menu of soup , main course and dessert. Everything was very tasty , there is a good list of wines by glass too. As a compliment after the dinner they served us traditional liquor. Maybe it’s a bit more expensive comparing to other places but it’s worth it.

The place is fabulous! You are taken care of so well from the moment you walk in! Superb service! Food is absolutely delicious.. don’t leave without trying goulash! Ambience is so cute!! Almost missed the place as it’s a bit hidden but so glad I found it walking around the city with my mom. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Excellent. Simple and excellent. It has everything you await from bistro/restaurant. Cozy ambiente. Big portions. Nice food presentation. Great local wines. Just perfectly seasoned food. Very friendly staff. Food was quickly on the table. We were simply happy and will come gladly again 👌🏻

I was blown away by this restaurant. It was my first exposure to Hungarian food. The environment was delightful and everything was so delicious. We started off with the Langos & goulash & they were both so good, we probably could have stopped there. They bring out some spicy sauce to add to the goulash, which I recommend, if you like spicy foods! We ordered a glass of their house recommend white wine, and it was also amazing. For dinner, I got the stuffed sour cabbage. It was amazing served in a light tomato sauce. I got a side of the pickled vegetables as well. We tried the poppy seed bread pudding and were pleasantly surprised. They also top off dinner with complimentary honey liquor & a piece of candy. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the flavors were just as good.

We had a great dinner, authentic Hungarian food but with a modern twist. The food was really good, the best out of all the Hungarian restaurants we tried. Good wine selection and lovely atmosphere

Really recommend this place if you're visiting Budapest. Do make a reservation ahead of time as I'm not sure how easy it would be to be able to get a table otherwise. The service was great and decor of the restaurant was so cute. Food was so comforting - absolutely loved the goulash soup, we also had the chicken paparikas and duck leg for mains and lastly the sponge cake for dessert. Lemonade was 👍👍 There's a little surprise tiny appetizer and a shot to go at the end!

Very cozy place. Staff is polite and very friendly. Our waiter gave us some practical advices. Thank you for this. Live music (piano) Attention: you have 1.30 hour to eat and then leave your table. Attention: you will receive a certain amount for the Service in your bill (in our case it was 3 218 Ft = 9 euros) Our bill for 2 people was 24 660 Ft (~65 euros)

Best restaurant in Budapest!! Every dish was so tasty. We especially love the chicken paprika. A little fusion with the truffle oil takes it to another level! The Lángos was the best we’ve had. A little critic is the meatball was a bit salty. Really great service with live piano music.

AMAZING. Top quality food and service. We visited on a Thursday night and ordered a mixture of different dishes. Everyone in the restaurant was very welcoming and friendly. The highlights included the Goulash, Beef Cutlets and Chicken Paprikash. Will definitely come back here next time we visit. Thank you!

Great food, everything was fresh, balanced, and well presented. Service was good, and staff was polite and helpful. Really liked the design and ambiance. Would recommend for a lunch or dinner. It is on the expensive side compared to more local options, but worth it.

Our hotel receptionist recommended this place and loved it. We went to the smaller store and the staff greeted us warmly and proceed to show to the main room 2 doors away. Cosy and welcoming, great service team. We ordered the Hungarian beef goulash soup served and Hungarian Style Deep Fried Meatballs. We were served appetiser - a pancake with minced chicken and paprika. The goulash stew was served with a basket of sour dough bread and a side of paprika paste (proceed with caution - it’s hot but it made a great stew better with spice) The fried meatballs served with creamy mashed potatoes and pickled cucumbers - these are super tasty too. When you thought your meal is over, the staff bring over free shots of Hungarian Palinka, served as a digestive drink. These are super strong too, but it leaves a pleasant experience overall. Make a reservation otherwise they are always full.

Lovely bistro in the city centre. The menu was a good variety and there are also daily dishes which you can choose apart from the regular menu. It offers typical Hungarian cuisine and everything that I tasted was really delicious. Price was very good. Finally the staff was extremely polite and service was fast.

I need to give it a 10/10! The waitress are so nice and the meals are so impressive. I ordered the duck breast and everything is perfect, includes the pasta with cheese below. They also send us the bread with their special spicy sauce, really special and spicy. Also the dessert! I forgot the name but which they highly recommend, tastes really special and delicious! Anyway, I will come back!

Stumbled across this Bistro by chance alone, how lucky! The place has an incredibly charming atmosphere and the decor inside is vintage with a modern touch. Near the Parliament building, the location is awesome. Food was delicious and not very expensive (around 15€ per person, one dish and shared water). They have us a free shot of Hungarian liquor on the house. I absolutely recommend!

Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! We were able to get a reservation day of, despite the restaurant being so small. I’m glad we got the chance to go! We had a wonderful experience—charming atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food! If you’re looking to try some traditional Hungarian dishes, you have to visit Retek!

We were lucky enough to get a table at this restaurant for dinner without a reservation and before the rush. The steak tartare was exceptional, maybe even better than the ones I've had in France. If you're looking for traditional Hungarian food with a flair, this is it.

We were recommended this place and it exceeded all expectations! We luckily managed to secure a space after a reserved table didn’t show up otherwise the restaurant was fully booked and I can completely see why. The food was some of the best I’ve had in my life although I couldn’t eat it every day as it’s very rich but I would have it every so often and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s coming to Budapest. Dare I say this is the best restaurant around! The service was top notch and we got a taster on the house as well as bread for the table and a shot of palinka at the end. The atmosphere was also 10/10, with a live pianist and beautiful decorations, lighting, and ambience. I went for my mother’s birthday and I would say it’s perfect for a special occasion!

Excellent from start to finish. Meet and greet was excellent. The waiter was excellent. The food was excellent. The menu was excellent. The ambience was excellent. The Plinka shots at the end - deadly but a very nice touch! It was all so clean and very high quality from all different angles. We would highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this place on Google Maps and decided to give it a try, which we definitely don’t regret! Within ten minutes of opening the restaurant was completely full. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation, but I would strongly recommend to make a reservation ahead of time. Service was super friendly and the food was delicious. We paid 24000 huf for 2 (big) appetizers, 2 main courses as well as two beers. Would recommend it to everyone visiting Budapest :-)

The service was unbelievably good and food was excellent. Atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. We love this place and highly recommend anyone for a wonderful lunch here. Restaurant fills up very quickly and i recommend booking in advance otherwise you will be disappointed. We were lucky when we walk in and were given a table with a later reservation. We had more than 2 hours to eat before the next reservation guests arrive. We appreciate that they didn’t turn us away. Thank You.

They welcomed us even though we hadn't booked. They were nice and very close the whole dinner. Their food was excellent. They had live piano music that made everything even more special. They called us a taxi at the end of our dinner. You made a very special day in Budapest even more memorable. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Everything was perfect. Exceptional staff and delicious food. Very attentive and friendly staff they just make your day better. Thank you everyone for an unforgettable night. Also thank you for the birthday dessert and gift for my spouse. Must try when in Budapest.

If you're looking for delicious Hungarian cuisine with a very cozy & inviting still modern atmosphere don't look further. Decided on the fly to give it a try and was lucky enough to get a free table during the week. The staff is super friendly and careful while the food was simply amazing. Every bite was an experience you should not miss. Had a great dinner. Would recommend to place a reservation so you enjoy a wonderful evening here.

Very cozy atmosphere, the live piano was really great. The stuff was kind and helpful. Goulash soup was really really tasty. But nothing special to other dishes that we tried. Paprikash needed salt in my opinion and pork was a little bit tough. Portions could be bigger. Nice move the treat at the beginning 😀

NYE Menu. Amazing service, so kind! Portions too big, specially desert. Overall could consider adding more spices to the dishes. Slightly blant in flavor. Too little veggie options, none vegan. Okay wine selection.
