I had not tried Hungarian cuisine until I visited this restaurant so walking in I had no idea what I would be eating or whether I would even enjoy it. Happy to say that it was a very positive experience and I would easily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try some Hungarian cuisine.
There were quite a few options on the menu so it was a hard decision to choose what to try. I decided to go with the platter for two which came with a variety of different items which is perfect if you want to try a bunch of different things. Everything from the cabbage rolls to schnitzel, rice, and sausage tasted great with our favourite being the beet salad which was unexpected. The one item that was not as good was the porkchop which was I found fairly dry so definitely not something I would order on its own. We also got to try a few pieces of the "dumplings" which the waitress brought us a sample of. In case anyone is interested in knowing the dumplings look kind of like pasta and had a nice chewy texture which I thought was pretty good.
Service here was great. The waitresses were super friendly and helpful in helping us decide what to order. As mentioned one of the waitresses even brought us a sample of the dumplings when I asked what they were when we were ordering. It took me by complete surprise but I was really grateful that she did. The staff were also very conversational so it felt very comfortable being in the restaurant.
The space is large, bright and clean. In the summer there is seating outdoors but the indoor seating area is spacious as well. The decor is definitely interesting with many plants and different types of what I assume are Hungarian decorations along the walls.
All in all, I went from nervous and not knowing what to expect to being completely satisfied with the food and service at Budapest Restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try some Hungarian cuisine. read more
