The food was very nice and the view and surroundings exceptionall, but what made the experience even better was the service. Márk made the whole experience so comfortable and offered us some time at the private terrace to get a bit of a better view until our food arrives. We really enjoyed the recommendations of white and sparkling Hungarian wine. We were not rushed at all and was encouraged to take our time and enjoy. We would definitely come back.

We had a really lovely dinner. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive throughout the evening. Our waiter Peter took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. We sat outside, and the view was absolutely beautiful. Watching the sunset and the city lights at night created a truly special atmosphere that made the evening even more memorable. We enjoyed the Superfood Salad, Wiener Schnitzel, Rosé Duck Breast, and the Veal Paprikash with Egg Dumplings. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and presented with great attention to detail. The Veal Paprikash was especially memorable, with tender meat and an authentic taste. For dessert, we had the Somlói sponge cake and Honey cream, both of which were the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a truly special atmosphere. We would happily recommend this place. Greetings from Bulgaria!

We went for dinner, didn’t have a reservation but still got seated immediately. We ate our meal inside but they were nice enough to give us an outside table for dessert. The interior was very elegant with a huge chandelier and fancy seating. The outside offers great views of both Buda and Pest, including the Parliament building and Fisherman’s Bastion. Food was amazing. We ordered the fried and grilled chicken, balsamic vegetables, potatoes, and chocolate sponge cake. The service was good. Overall a great experience!

From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, enhanced by wonderful live music that created a truly memorable ambiance. The food was outstanding – fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The salad was colorful and perfectly balanced, the baked Camembert was rich and delicious, and the traditional Hungarian dishes allowed us to experience authentic local cuisine at its best. One of the highlights of this restaurant is its beautiful terrace with a breathtaking panoramic view of Budapest and the Danube. Enjoying such delicious food while overlooking one of the most stunning views in the city made the experience even more special and unforgettable. The service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout our visit. We were dining as a family, and everyone, including the children, felt comfortable and well taken care of. This restaurant perfectly combines exceptional cuisine, outstanding service, live music, and spectacular views. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip to Budapest, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience. We will definitely return on

I could not recommend this place enough. It was our favourite meal of our whole stay. The food was incredible. We just hated we couldnt eat more! The atmosphere was incredible with amazing music that just boosted our mood even more. Sitting outside at sunset to see the whole city was amazing. The waiter was so kind and attentive. His name was Mark - all staff were lovely though. Considering location, atmosphere, views etc well worth the money! £73 (approx 30 000huf) for 2 mains, 2 cocktails, 2 coffees and a dessert. Definitely make a reservation. We made it for 8:30pm in June. Perfect to see the sunset and the views in the dark.
