We used to eat here about once every month, the food was good & the prices very reasonable. It changed ownership & was turned into an "All-You-Can-Eat" place, not so good...Then I saw that this year it changed hands again & we were pleased. We read some of the recent reviews, which were quite bad, but still decided to check it out. Big mistake, should have trusted the reviews. It was pretty empty, not a good start, 3 staff all looking sad & bored but comfortable seating. We ordered ok but 15-minutes later a waiter said they did not have a duck leg main course...! I re-ordered, this time duck breast but it was awful, dry, over-cooked & inedible. My partners pork was tasty but also dry & over-cooked. Decided to avoid a dessert, paid-up & left. Unless they change ownership again & hire a new chef, we will go to the other restaurant's in the area.

Reasonable food and a very wide menu, all at reasonable prices. The wine selection was pretty good and reasonably-priced too. The restaurant is in a square in a good and convenient location. However, the place looks very tired - as were the waiters on the night we were there: their dis-interest levels were pretty high. Summarised differently, good and typical Hungarian fare, but offering nothing special enough to have you racing back.

I'm not sure why this restaurant doesn't get more love in it's reviews. My wife and I ate there this month and it was great. We were in Budapest for an extension before a cruise and took the Batthyány tér (Batthyány Square) metro 3 stops and walked 5 - 10 minutes to a cute square in the town. There doesn't appear to be much in that area besides the square area. Our waiter, Leslie, was very friendly. Every recommendation he made was spot on. See photos of the food attached to this review. We ate in the garden room. The catfish soup was amazing. Leslie provided some hot pepper puree on the side top add to the soup and that was great. My wife had baked trout and that was moist and plentiful. I ate chicken paprika. I was surprised in every place that served it that it wasn't spicy. In fat it was on the sweet side. Paprika can be either hot or sweet. The dessert was a "sponge cake" but was unlike any sponge cake I've had in the past. It was amazing. I would eat there again. Oh, and I got to do a plum pálinka is a traditional fruit brandy shot with Leslie. I wasn't sure about trying pálinka is a traditional fruit brandy, however it went down smoothly.

Food is good, not the best Hungarian type restaurant you can find in Budapest, but decent enough for the price you pay. The staff is very kind and helpful.

We were a group of 21 people and were able to order our food in advance. Because of that our meals came very fast. The traditional hungarian cuisine had everyone pleased and the size was also very good. The staff was very friendly and the live music was exeptional. The restaurant itself is located in a nice neighborhood. All in all our experience was very pleasing and I would for sure come here again!

Traditional place, very tasty food. I recommend anything that is fish here. My favourite is the paprikás made of catfish served with pasta, cottage cheese, sourcream and fried bacon.

Roasted fish with baked potatoes was good 7/10. The service is above the average and place decor suits the cuisine well. Traditional Hungarian interior style. Easily reachable, though not in the downtown.

Not the best dining experience 😕 First, we were shown to seat in the garden which is fair enough it was a nice warm evening. Nice cosy garden area to sit with lovely Hungarian features which is very nice until the first person start to smoking next to you while you trying to eat your food. Secondly, my creamed mushroom soup i make better..... my main venison stew with forest mushroom and blueberry jam which was inedible and made me feel sick and not even mention there was not a piece of venison on my plate. Very very disappointed.
