    Really excellent place with friendly service and high quality food! My husband and I found this place on our last night in Budapest. The restaurant is pretty small but we luckily got a table without a reservation (about 8pm on a Friday). There looked to be only one wait staff and even though she was busy she was still friendly, spoke English, took the time to answer our questions, all with a smile! We ended up ordering the Mediterranean eggplant that came with bread, the roasted pork belly and pumpkin ragout with chicken. The food was delicious and flavorful! You could really taste the love and quality in the dishes. After eating at so many subpar places in Budapest, we were thrilled to finally have a delicious meal!! Even though the place is small, it has a cozy and comfortable feel. Bathroom is clean. The exterior of the building is going through construction so just keep an eye out for this special place!! Would definitely recommend!

    New favorite spot in town! The host is lovely, the food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is charming and chilled out. Will be coming back here many more times and be recommending it to everyone I know! Everything on the menu is worth trying, and I always appreciate a restaurant that has nice olive oil at each table 💯 😋

    Literally everything about our dinner here was perfect. The restaurant is quaint and inviting, with a tempting menu filled with dishes from all along the Mediterranean coast. My husband and I shared an assortment of tapas (fava bean dip, zucchini dip, whipped feta, grilled artichoke), pao de queijo, crudités, bread, and their maafe chickpea stew. All of the food was fantastic, but what solidified it as a perfect night was the woman who took care of us. She was so hospitable and kind, bringing us cold water and arranging the fan to keep us cooler in the sweltering heat. She truly went above and beyond to make our night special, and for that we are completely in love with this treasure of Budapest!

    Delightful food, very friendly service. The servjng sizes are on the smaller side, so maybe order a few sides when very hungry.

    Service was stunning, food is also really delicious. Might be a little salty but still good. Definitely worth a try if you’re into tapas. Pricing is friendly, even if you try various different types of dishes.

    Faboulous, cosy space, amazing food and wines, excellent service. I could not reach them on the phone when I first tried to reserve a place, and they called me back, I loved that. The place is small, especially if it’s cold and there are no tables outside, so reserving is warranted.

    Great service, incredible price, clean food. What else do you want? I just ate there and I feel great. The drink options are incredible and delicious. Very charming place with a lovely atmosphere

  • 5/5 Twan E. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was great and the lady who served us was such a kind, nice person! We started with some small portions and ended up going for a second round because of the good taste. 2nd round did take a bit long for just two small dishes, but then again, we were not in a rush and the place was pretty full. You can sit inside, we chose to sit outside which was nice because of temperature but the street itself is not the pretty place where you will go and sit to watch people walk by. Probably that’s why it was nice and quiet 😉 Highly recommended for good food and service with room in and outside.

  • 5/5 Rebecca C. 10 months ago on Google
    The fod here is absolutely delicious! I wish we were staying longer in budapest so I could eat here again. The lady who owns the place is so sweet and friendly she really added to the experience. I cannot recommend this place enough! Lots of vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy free options as well! Definitely go eat here!

    I had the tapas and it was fantastic - especially the meatballs and chicken skewers, everything was well spiced and perfectly seasoned. Front of house was also very kind and helpful! if I visit Budapest again, this is unquestionably going to be somewhere I come back to!

    Delicious food, great atmosphere and amazing service. Everything we ate was incredible (especially the herded zucchini dip) and we felt genuinely welcomed by the server throughout. Really recommend!!!!

    Absolutely delicious food in a lovely warm atmosphere with great hospitality. Loved everything we ate!!!

  • 5/5 Zsofia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t get me wrong, this is not an exclusively vegetarian restaurant. But with vegetarian dishes like these, do you reeeeally want to eat meat? Again, you can, because those are delicious too. Still, this is a place where finally vegetarian food is not an afterthought; it’s scrumptious and you can tell it’s made with love. Oh and don’t get me started on the hospitality! Truly great! The owner is such a lovely and helpful person. Am I gushing? Maybe I am, but deservedly so for this place.

    A small and cozy place to have a nice meal or some snacks with friends. Mediterranean style cuisine, presented in a nice way. Some dishes are served in the right amount, but some others dishes not so much. Something that they can improve on. I had the Cuban ropa vieja and for me was the right amount.

    Absolute favorurite in the palace district (VIII.). This little owner operated cafe-rest gives you the best from both worlds. Easy going srvice with great food and wine selection. You will try, if you have a chance!

  • 4/5 oschkes53 1 year ago on Google
    very good food, but portions were a bit too small. you will have to spend a bit more, cause tapas and dessert will be necessary if you arrive with an empty stomach

  • 5/5 Katy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, atmosphere and great friendly service! We ordered more tapas because it was just so good! A great find!

🫤 The waiters are not nice at all and the guy at the entrance is super arrogant. The queue was super long and there were several open tables around us. People complained about it.
