We booked Pierrot in advance for our Christmas Eve dinner in Budapest, and it turned out to be such a wonderful choice. The restaurant felt so cozy and intimate, almost like visiting someone’s home for a special dinner. The staff welcomed us warmly, the live piano music created a beautiful atmosphere, and the food was delicious. We had such a lovely and memorable Christmas Eve here with our family.

Fantastic! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable - you could really tell they enjoyed their work. The food was excellent - particularly the shrimp in broth. I can't recommend this spot enough.

A wonderful dinner. Knowledgeable and attentive staff who can recommend wine and make other suggestions to elevate your dining experience. Excellent food and service. Live piano music all evening long. No compulsory service charge like in many other places so you should be as generous as possible. Highly recommend. Book ahead. The place was full for dinner after 9pm.

A 15% service charge is automatically added to the bill. We therefore did not leave an additional tip. The staff member seemed displeased, gave only a brief “Enjoy,” and did not bring back our coats. The food and wine were very good, which makes the experience somewhat disappointing.

A stylish and attentive restaurant right in the heart of Old Town — the live music inside creates a really nice vibe, and the service was quick and friendly, which we appreciated a lot. The staff were great and deserve a big thank you! That said, the food was a bit disappointing for me. The goose meat was quite tough and hard to chew (I finished it because I was hungry, but it wasn’t enjoyable), and the dessert tasted pretty ordinary and nothing special. Maybe other dishes on the menu would have been better. Overall, the atmosphere and service shine, but the food could use some improvement
