Another hidden gem in Budapest. Lovely restaurant with amazing food. We had pork and beef for main courses and cake for desert. They were all cooked to perfection with so much flavour and texture. Absolutely top notch. Two course lunch with drinks and service charge was only about 20 euros per person. It's a so so inexpensive. Must visit!

Fantastic, intimate restaurant offering a choice of 4, 5, or 6 course dinner created by the chef using local ingredients. There's no menu and it was fun finding out about each course when it arrived. You can also choose to do matching wines, which is a great way to try several of the Hungarian varietals. The service was very friendly.

Well the location is not the strongest part of this restaurant as it is five feet underground and the ambient is cosy rather than fancy. The staff is friendly, well prepeared and the whole slow food approach is well represented. The taste of the food and how they play with the ingredients it is a story you want to hear from the beginning to the end each and every time you visit this place. The Michelin Star is well deserved.

Loveliest experience here. Food was delicious and staff was extremely hospitable. Came for lunch service and the wine recommendation was perfect. I will be back next time I’m in Budapest. Thank you again to the entire staff for their hospitality!

Worth 6 stars if I could give them. Very unassuming place but what an incredible meal experience! You get your full courses and then some for an all-too reasonable price. You won't leave with anything but a satisfyingly full-to-bursting heart and stomach. Hungarikum!

Delicious tasting menu. Would highly recommend it and the wine pairing. Lots of great meat dishes. When I’m back in town will definitely stop by again.

BEWARE OF SURPRISES. They usually mean surprisingly high prices for surprisingly terri le food. Angry at being directed by Michelin to this tourist trap. (and wondering who wrote those great reviews of 5 stars...) Both of us took 8 dishes menu (they only have 'surprise menu') here is honest assessment by 2 diners: 1) bread: tasty but flour not properly mixed - 2/5 2) cauliflower starter - 5/5, excellent dish, but the only one the chef had time to think over. great balance 3)foie gras - WE LOVE foie gras, but this was the worst ever - oily, disgusting mess 1/5 (even though quince pure was great) 4)weird broth with kelp and celeriac - like miso soup but with hard sweet pieces of the vegetable. Total flop 1/5 5) 2 prawns - one good, one with offensively salty coating 1/5 6) duck breast 1/5. Incredibly salty, chewy, and served with dollops of KETCHUP, straight from the bottle. 7) something in very hard pastry. Too salty 1/5 8) poor quality steak - again super salty. One of us got tender piece, the other chewy, full of sinew, an unusable. accompaniament was OK 2/5 9) refreshing citrusy desert. 5/5 Noteworthy fact: 2 different couples LEFT half way through the meal despite having to pay for the whole thing. It hurt paying over 40 euro for this quality of food... stay away and don't get duped.

Great service, highly professional, food fantastic. The atmosphere is slightly unpleasant though due to the people being very loud. During fine dining, I am uninterested in other people’s projects, kids, neighbors... but that is not the restaurant’s fault.

Still one of my favourite places in Budapest! Choose a 7 course dinner and get surprised - my favourites have been a spinach soup with the tastiest spinach i have ever tried (still remembering, although i had it several years ago), a potatoe salad with cocoa and a cherry pie (meggyes pite) with sour cream ice cream. OMG! :) Their veggie dishes are the best as they have more room for experiment there. The meat and fish is excellent too though especially with the finely selected Hungarian wines!

Best place

(Translated by Google) In life there is always a place for discovery, and sometimes unexpected, it happened with this restaurant. The restaurant, which is located in the basement, not in the very center of the city, practically without any external identification marks from the street, except for a small sign that opens only at 19:00 on a weekday, with an absolutely minimalist interior, without a menu, but with served tables , with a wine list of only Hungarian wines and cash only ... at least it was weird at first. But then begins a small intriguing adventure for those who like to eat tasty and right, enjoy the process of eating food and enjoy it. It all starts with the fact that you need to choose one of 4 sets, each of which has 4, 5, 6 or 7 dishes, respectively. The cost of the set goes upward from 10 thousand forints, then each subsequent one is approximately plus 1 thousand. One set is only for one person, otherwise it is impossible. But the most interesting, you do not know what dishes are in these sets, there is no menu, only a list of sets and their cost, as well as a list of ingredients included in these sets, all this is painted on a board hanging on the restaurant wall. There is only a wine list, which in the end was also not needed :-). By the way, before ordering you will be asked if you are allergic to any products, and even if you do not like some ingredients, they will offer a replacement, but not all components of the set. Once you have decided on the sets, dinner begins ... with small “compliments” from the restaurant, which are not included in the set, but no less pleasant. Then, while serving each dish, the waiter will tell you in detail about the composition, the other will offer you a suitable wine, if you wish, almost all the wine in the wine list at an affordable price and served both in a bottle and in glasses. I can not describe the impressions of the taste of the dishes themselves, the combination of ingredients, the degree of preparation, well-chosen serving sizes and wine, the choice of which for each dish can be completely entrusted to the waiter, but all this together was amazing. This restaurant is not Hungarian cuisine, but gourmet cuisine in Hungary. At the same time, everyone has some kind of calm, almost chamber atmosphere, pleasant, friendly and attentive waiters and staff. I don’t know who the organizers and the chef of this restaurant are, but these are people who are exactly fit with soul to their work. Thank you for the pleasure and more rewards on the walls of your restaurant! (Original) В жизни всегда есть место открытию, а иногда и неожиданному, так и получилось с этим рестораном. Ресторан, который расположен в полуподвальном помещении, не в самом центре города, практически без каких либо внешних опознавательных знаков с улицы, кроме небольшой вывески, открывающийся только в 19:00 в будний день, с абсолютно минималистичным интерьером, без меню, но с сервированными столами, с винной картой только венгерских вин и расчётом только за наличные... по крайней мере сначала это было странно. Но дальше начинается маленькое интригующее приключение для тех, кому нравится вкусно и правильно поесть, насладится самим процессом употребления пищи и при этом получить удовольствие. Начинается все с того, что вам необходимо выбрать один из 4-х сетов, в каждом из которых 4, 5, 6 или 7 блюд, соответсвенно. Стоимость сета идёт по нарастающей от 10 тыс. форинтов, далее каждый последующий примерно плюс 1 тыс. Один сет только на одну персону, иначе нельзя. Но самое интересное, Вы не знаете какие блюда в этих сетах, меню нет, только список сетов и их стоимость, а также список ингредиентов, входящих в эти сеты, все это расписано на доске, висящей на стене ресторана. Есть только винная карта, которая в итоге тоже не понадобилась :-). Кстати, перед заказом Вас спросят, есть ли у Вас аллергия на какие-то продукты, и даже если Вам не нравятся какие-то ингредиенты, то предложат замену, но не всех составляющих сета. Как только вы определились с сетами начинается ужин... с небольших «комплиментов» от ресторана, не входящих в сет, но не менее приятных. Дальше при подаче каждого блюда официант подробно расскажет про состав, другой предложит Вам подходящее вино, если пожелаете, практически все вино в винной карте по приемлемой цене и подается как в бутылке, так и по бокалам. Не смогу описать впечатления от вкуса самих блюд, сочетания ингредиентов, степени приготовления, грамотно подобранных размеров порций и вина, выбор которого под каждое блюдо вполне можно доверить официанту, но все это вместе было удивительно. Это ресторан не венгерской кухни, а изысканной кухни в Венгрии. При этом всем какая-то спокойная, практически камерная обстановка, приятные, доброжелательные и внимательные официанты и персонал. Не знаю кто организаторы и шеф-повар этого ресторана, но это люди, которые точно подходят с душой к своему делу. Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие и побольше наград на стенах вашего ресторана!

Brilliant tasting menu for great price.

Awesome fine dining place without pretentiousness. I go there dressed as casual as you can get for lunch and still get the fanciest & nicest service ever. Bring cash.

Great food paired with good wine, service well beyond regular standards, and attentive personel, without ever making you feel like you were being watched. We had the 7 full courses, walked out of there having had 11. All of them excellent!

Attentive service welcomes you in the not-so-elegant neighborhood. College of gastronomy, a huge experience. Allow yourself to be enchanted, eat through the menu.

Na, olyat is ettünk...

Awesome place, delicious food, and incredible service! You should definitely check it out because it's probably one of the best 'bang for your buck' fine dining places in Budapest.

Really nice and great food. I personally didn't love all the courses but that's my personal taste. Greate evening and worth the money!

Very nice! 7 course was a little too much, I’m surprised to say. Some courses were quite heavy.

A restaurant in the basement of the heavily populated area in Budapest. Rapid building of new houses in the beginning of the 1900th made up its name: Hingarian Chicago. Come to the place in time (by 7) and enjoy slow food served in 7 courses. You do to have to order, rely on the taste of the chef. Fine dining with some Hungarian influence.

Gastronomic quality food in the evenings, the waiters speak fluent Hungarian AND English! I went there 6 times in total over the past years and i am always happily surprised by the Chef's association of ingredients, the quality and taste of the food! The price is expensive for Hungary, but it is definitely worth it for a celebration, or just a culinary experience :D Highly recommended, just make sure to call a few days in advance in order to get a table reservation ;)

Great food and affordable prices. They offer tasting menus with the 4 to 7 dishes. It’s a little bit away from the tourist center, but it worth the short trip.

excellent service and delicious foods, highly recommended :)

A hidden gem in Budapest. Outstanding meal, completely surprised by the quality of the service for an unbeatable price. Definitely I will come again. Nagyon finom!

cash only. tip: pay in hungarian dollars, places rip you off if you pay in euro. choose the number of courses.

One of its kind. First of all the menu changes every day, it is based on the fresh ingredients the chef buys on the nearby market. What you will eat remains a secret until the dish arrives to your table (they will accommodate allergies and dislikes!) You can buy a number of courses, 4, 5, 6, or 7 - the portions are proportional to the number of courses, so you will not leave hungry. The food is amazing, be prepared to be eating some of the best food in your life.

(Translated by Google) It happened to be a restaurant that was the correct answer for lunch. I came to the store at 14:00, which is late for lunch, but the store was full. I heard that it is a popular store. There was a course of 2 dishes of appetizer and main course, and 3 dishes with dessert, and I got 3 dishes. The first appetizer is soup. It's a cappuccino-style turnip soup, but when I scooped it with a spoon, it contained grapefruit pulp. Be amazed at the unexpectedness! The sourness of the grapefruit accentuated it and it was very delicious! The main dish is beet and pistachio sauce, and a pork confit with beautifully decorated flowers. This was also excellent. And the third dish of dessert. The coconut cake and strawberry sorbet refreshed my mouth. (Original) ランチでたまたまうかがって、大正解だったお店です。ランチにしては遅めの14時に来店したのに店内は満席。人気店なことがうかがえました。前菜とメインの2皿、デザートがつく3皿のコースがあって、私は3皿の方をいただきました。まず一皿目の前菜はスープです。カプチーノ仕立てのカブのスープなのですが、スプーンですくうと中にグレープフルーツの果肉が入っていました。その意外性にあっぱれ！グレープフルーツの酸味がアクセントになってとっても美味しかった！メインはビーツとピスタチオのソース、お花が美しく飾られた豚のコンフィ。これも絶品でした。そして3皿目のデザートです。ココナッツのケーキにいちごのシャーベットで、口がさっぱりしました。

(Translated by Google) We ate a Martin’s day goose menu today in a takeaway version. I expected it to be awesome, but it surpassed all my ideas. There was something darker in the broth, reminiscent of soy or demi glace, which made it denser but also a little more spicy. It was as if I could feel ginger in it as well, which was very good for him. The skin of the duck leg was crisp and the flesh was crumbly. Both its taste and texture are phenomenal. The jus under the flesh was a wonderful shade of brown. The vegetables were crisp and sufficiently citrusy, well counterpointed the fats in the meat. The whole vegetable circle was a discovery tour. I had never eaten fried turnips and it was very delicious. The chard leaves gave a nice green base, on which the yellowish and whitish color of the celery stem and rhubarb prevailed perfectly. The cutting direction of the vegetables alone would be worth a mass, it was so aesthetic. The beetroot cake I got for dessert with chocolate cremeux was just plain wonderful and beautiful. We loved it! Extra extra point for careful packaging and quality dishes. The 3 dishes are terribly invigorating, so much pampering has gone well today, but for a normal lunch menu, one or a maximum of two dishes is plenty. And for that, the price is also specifically friendly. You may feel from the above that I have become a believer, I recommend everyone to try the takeaway menu, have a fantastic creative-culinary experience and get several weeks of inspiration for cooking at home. Thank you for the experience, I am guaranteed to return :) (Original) Márton napi liba menüt ettünk ma, elviteles változatban. Számítottam rá, hogy fantasztikus lesz, de túlszárnyalta minden elképzelésemet. A húslevesben volt valami sötétebb, szójára, vagy demi glace-ra emlékeztető anyag, amitől sűrűbb, de egyúttal kicsit pikánsabb is volt. Mintha gyömbért is éreztem volna benne, ami nagyon jót tett neki. A kacsacomb bőre ropogós, a húsa pedig omlós volt. Az íze és a textúrája egyaránt fenomenális. A hús alatti jus csodálatos barna árnyalatú volt. A zöldségek ropogósak és kellőképpen citrusosak voltak, jól ellenpontozták a hús zsírjait. Az egész zöldségköret egy felfedezőtúra volt. Sosem ettem még fehérrépát sütve és ez nagyon finom volt. A mángold levelek adtak egy szép zöld alapot, amin a zellerszár sárgája és rebarbara rózsás-fehéres színe remekül érvényesült. A zöldségek vágásiránya külön megérne egy misét, annyira esztétikus volt. A desszertre kapott céklatorta csoki cremeux-val csak simán csodálatos volt és gyönyörű. Imádtuk! Külön plusz pont a gondos csomagolásért és a minőségi edényekért. A 3 fogás iszonyatosan laktató, ma jól esett ennyi kényeztetés, de egy normál ebédmenühöz egy, vagy max két fogás is bőven megfelelő. És ehhez az ára is kifejezetten baráti. Talán érződik a fentiekből, hogy hívő lettem, mindenkinek ajánlom, próbálja ki az elviteles menüt, fantasztikus kreatív-kulináris élményben lesz része és több heti inspirációt kap az otthoni főzéséhez. Köszönöm az élményt, garantáltan visszatérek :)

(Translated by Google) Watermelon soup was a real pleasant surprise. The eggplant roll stuffed with mushrooms was the best item on the menu (though there was no complaint about the deer either). The apple pie with celery stalks and sorrel ice cream was completely off my feet. I didn’t list every catch, but we ate 7. They had amazing flavors. There were no complaints about his service. The chair / bench was a bit uncomfortable and I would have been happy to have a little more snooze between catches. But everything was very fine. It's exciting that I don't know what the menu will be, but the burden of choice will be removed :) (Original) A görögdinnye leves igazi kellemes meglepetés volt. A gombával töltött padlizsán tekercs a menüsor legjobb eleme volt (pedig a szarvasra se lehetett panasz). A zellerszárral készült almás pite sóska fagyival pedig teljesen levett a lábamról. Nem soroltam fel minden fogást, de 7et ettünk. Lenyűgöző ízek voltak. A kiszolgálására nem volt panasz. A szék/pad kicsit kényelmetlen és örültem volna a fogások közötti kicsit több szusszanásnyi időnek. De minden nagyon rendben volt. Izgalmas hogy nem tudom mi lesz a menü, viszont a választás terhe is lekerül :)

(Translated by Google) A 7-course menu was chosen. From 7pm to 10pm, the hangers kept coming. It’s sometimes very strange, but in a good way. Everything was very delicious. Service was perfect.

I have eaten 7 lunches here and 1 tasting menu dinner here and it's always been on point. Service is attentive, food is consistently well executed. Considered by smart people to be one of the hidden gems of Budapest, and with good reason. Very silly to come to Budapest and not eat here tbh. Notes: lunch is 3600huf for 3 courses but most mains come with a supplement of 1500-2500huf. The non-soup starter generally attracts a starter of 500huf (n.b. the soup is always excellent), and one of the dessert choices generally attracts a supplement of 200huf.
