    The restaurant was lovely, and the staff were friendly. The pianist was amazing, but the food was horrible. The pasta was unbelievably bad as the menu stated parmesan on top, but instead, it was mozzarella. The duck breast was the most overcooked I ever had in my life. It’s more than well done. I hope the owner of this restaurant can see this and find a way to improve the food. We feel pity for wasting our time in such a beautiful setting restaurant with such terrible food.

    Stylish place, great quality food and portions size. Totally worth the money (unlike many other more expensive restaurants in Budapest). Live music. Terrace outside with fans. Good selection of G&Ts though they are light on alcohol. Pleasant and polite waiter. Be aware that 12% service charge will be added to the bill automatically. Check the bill before paying. Ours had an item we didn’t order (from the neighbors’ table). Resolved quickly and politely but still unpleasant.

    Great personal, and the food was TOP. I ate Salmon with gratin of potato/spinach and were both soooo tasty. My friend who is fan of steak commented that it was the best steak/rump he ever had in Budapest. I highly recommend the Little Budapest and I will surely come back!

    What an incredible place, from the really talented live musicians to the friendly staff and the incredible food! I had the veal schnitzel and it was incredible. I’m also still thinking about that cheesecake. :-)

    We dined at 7pm on a Thursday and was treated with live piano during our dinner. The pianists sang very well and in English, playing a lot of the classic jazz hits. The duck liver pate was my favorite dish of those we ordered. The portions are very large compared to other restaurants in the center and with very reasonable prices. All in all, an amazing experience.

    An experience beyond amazing. We didn't know what to eat and coming here was the best possible decision! The food was sublime, the waiting staff were quick to respond and knowledgeable. Best of all, they gave their own opinion when necessary - to avoid for example ordering too much food that wouldn't be eaten or telling us that a certain combination wouldn't make as much sense as another. Where we come from, the price for a restaurant of this quality would easily be three or four times as high. Highly recommended! Only a shame we can't give 7 stars ;) (Not to mention the very good live Jazz band we got to listen to all evening long)

  • 5/5 Mihai D. 10 months ago on Google
    Best food, best service we had in Budapest

  • 1/5 Mirona C. 10 months ago on Google
    We came for the live piano but were early. The food was ok - the carrot and potato in the ghoulash was not cooked all the way and the meat was not very tender. The poppy seed sauce with the steak was not very good although the steak was adequate. Overall it’s a nice atmosphere but downgrading them because the service staff is more snobby than the quality of the food and place makes sense. Downgrading my rating…they said piano starts at 7pm and no piano at 7:30pm and they tell us the table is reserved.

  • 4/5 Kirsten R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with great ambiance and live music. Drinks and food were great, staff was friendly. Only thing: after we ordered our food, the main course came in like 10 minutes (I think that's too quick).

  • 5/5 Ching Nam L. 9 months ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and the food is the best in Budapest. Romantic atmosphere with the pianist.

  • 5/5 Georgia R. 9 months ago on Google
    Booked them last minute, so happy we did. After a long day at F1 and fighting traffic it was so great to sit down and be treated with such great service and good authentic food. Loved the live band. Unique foods that lived up to the name.

  • 5/5 Kelly J. 9 months ago on Google
    Great service, fantastic food, great atmosphere with live piano player and singer.

  • 5/5 Wess G. 8 months ago on Google
    The place looks very chique. There's a pianist playing live and singing. It adds to the atmosphere of the place being a pianobar and restaurant. And that's also the least great thing to say about this place, because the staff is great. Super professional, and very friendly. And then we come to the food. Ordered the beef tartar and it was probably the best I've ever had. And the main course I had the 300gr. rib-eye. I had the pleasure of tasting a A5 wagyu rib-eye a couple of years ago, and the steak I got at this restaurant sits firmly at #2. It was incredibly well seasoned, cooked to perfection, the way I asked for, (medium rare) and pre-cut against the grain like it should. My friend ordered a different steak. Because of that, we got the pepper sauce and a jus(gravy). And the jus is the way to go. It complements the steak better that any other sauce. If I return to Budapest, I will return to Little Budapest as well! Excellent!

  • 3/5 Analía B. G. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice piano restaurant. There are interesting mixed options of plates combinaning hungarian and italian food. A bit expensive considering the food.

  • 5/5 J M. 5 months ago on Google
    This is a really nice restaurant. The decor is to a very high standard and the waiting staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is to an extremely high quality and tastes fantastic. I highly recommend the Goulash Soup and Chicken Paprikash. I'd also recommend booking as the restaurant was busy when we went, and there aren't too many tables. In summary, an excellent restaurant with wonderful staff and food.

  • 1/5 Mk p. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice place. Just be careful, we got paid about 50 Eur more as we did not check the bill (everything written in hungarian so you can´t understand...). We paid for things we did not have, about five items.. ;(((( Sorry, my mistake, we came to Budapest on Friday Oct. 27 and were in your place the same day. But probably you were closed as well.... I know what I got on our bill. Even if you declare fair and high-quality service. I do not say the food was not good or the staff was not friendly, it was, but if you get paid 30% more by mistake, it ´s a lot..... Put more attention in the future !

  • 5/5 Mark H. 5 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately we could not get a table, I would recommend booking in advance. We did come back later in the evening for cocktails which were great. Good band just the right level to enjoy the music and company.

  • 5/5 Yen H. 3 months ago on Google New
    Surprisingly cozy restaurant with sumptuous food , impeccable service, and fantastic live music for a very fulfilled, wonderful evening! We visited from the US and I messaged the restaurant via Google to make a reservation, I asked for a window seat ,& I got a confirmation in an hour! Very good customer service! We had rib eye steak & venison, both so tender and well seasoned, so tasty that they exceed our expectations !!! After dinner we requested to transfer to the bar to have more drinks and dessert there so we can enjoy the live music, our server quickly helped us settled there. He was so efficient!!! We enjoyed so much for the rest of the evening, the sponge cake dessert has surprised us that it’s unusually delicious! The music was so enjoyable that we didn’t want the evening to end!

  • 5/5 Nicole G. 3 months ago on Google New
    The atmosphere is so nice and warm. Service was good. I had a dinner here. Duck liver brûlée with homemade brioche is delicious, it’s served with additional bread, I really enjoyed the appetizer. Seasonal cream soup this time was pumpkin soup and it’s with pumpkin seeds, I recommend you to try it, so good. Osso bucco was also great.

    (Translated by Google) As part of the Autumn Restaurant Week, I spent a great lunch here with my partner. The menu was really lavish, well deserved second place in the program. The service was also great and the music was very appropriate. I will definitely come back here again, I highly recommend it to everyone. (Original) Az őszi Étterem Hét keretében töltöttem el itt egy remek ebédet a párommal. A menü igazán pazar volt, nagyon megérdemelt a második hely a program keretében.

    first we ordered goulash and after 15 minutes we were told that it was not there today. the waiter offered us chicken stew, which we also waited for a long time and it turned out not tasty. (Caesar salad was good)
