A Michelin restaurant serving unique creative dishes. We chose three course lunch set and that’s plenty. It’s a part of prestige hotel. Great service, atmosphere, and dishes.

the amuse bouche was amazing. we started with the foie gras and the "GARDEN" dish. both were really great. with the foie gras at Michelin level.. then , the salmon was done quite good but the risotto that came with it was not at the level of this restaurant. the duck was good. the Ricota desert was very interesting with the truffle foam... all in all, a good experience. thoughI believe that the wine pricing is a bit too high.

It's our 3rd visit in Budapest and the same in this restaurant. The previous visits were outstanding! Even speechless! However, this time although the fact that it has no Michelin star like in previous visits it is recommended by Michelin, we came to eat. But if you ask me, there is a reason why it has no star: one of the plates of the served dish was a bit broken. It doesn't bother me but this wouldn't happen in stared restaurant. The food is good but half of it were just fine, like the salmon or even less like the venison which were too much chewy and cold. Some were very good like the cauliflower and mushrooms soup and the main dish of the carrots. The deserts, I prefer not to talk. Our suggestion maybe to focus on vegan dishes which were good. To summarize, me and my wife were very disappointed. The place was almost empty in the evening (!) Not expensive but for this cost I would choose other restaurant.

Was it worth a detour? Yes, especially for the food. The tasting menu with wine pairing is absolutely worth it. You won’t be disappointed. What about the food? Outstanding. Every dish felt thoughtful and well-executed. Highly recommend going all in on the tasting menu with the wine pairing that’s where this place really shines. How was the service? Friendly and professional, but not quite at the level you’d expect for fine dining. Sitting in a booth made service a bit tricky, we had to pass plates and glasses ourselves for refills, which took away from the overall experience considering the price point. What’s the venue like? Stylish and modern, with a nice atmosphere. The booths are cozy, but not ideal for service flow. Anything that could be better? Some waiting time between dishes, a bit too much downtime at times. And the service flow (especially in booths) could be smoother to match the fine dining expectations.

We went for a birthday celebration for my wife. The staff are very knowledgeable and professional. The food was exceptional, very tasty. We had the scallops, the steak, salmon and duck. The desserts were stunning. The bread was still warm when it arrived at the table. Shout out to Pawel for serving us on thw night. Excellent drinks menu. Also, worth noting. It's exceptionally good value for money.
