The food was terrible. Tenderloin steak costed 20 euro and wasn't tender at all. The salad was tasteless and I wouldn't give it to a goat. NEVER EAT HERE! More

This restaurant was empty, but recommended by another restaurant. The food was average for Hungarian. The bill when it came added about 15% for the owner!! and they wanted extra besides that for the tip! (and stood over you - very unpleasant.) More

This was virtually empty when we arrived and had only a few clients all night but we cannot understand why. The waitress was very friendly and helpful and the food was very good. The decor was different, modern and interesting. I hope that its good reputation will increase and that it soon gets the numbers of clientelle that it deserves.... More

I had a pheasant breast in grape sauce for main course. The breast was extremely dry, I had to leave half of it on the plate - which didn't disturb the waiter too much as he didn't ask if I had a problem with it. For dessert I had a carrot cake with orange mousse. It was also horrible, the... More

My wife and I spent a rather frosty early evening in Mo. We opted for the Mo plate - a giant dish of Hungarian meats with assorted vegetables for 2 people (€24). I had a couple of glasses of wine - white to start, red with the meal - and like another reviewer on this page was shocked at the... More

Having read mixed reports we took a chance and really enjoyed our two visits to this restaurant. The food was excellent and nicely served. We were out for a leisurely meal so speed of service was fine for us. If you want speed then look elsewhere. The portions were excellent and the waiters and Manager very hospitable. Sit at the...

My Dad and I while walking around Budapest on a Sunday night found this place and loved it. If we had stayed another night we probably would have gone back. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the atmoshpere was awesome. It is hadn't been raining we probably would have sat outside but the atmoshpere inside was great.... More

We went to this restaurant two times during a 6 days visit simply because it is worth visiting twice. The restaurant is quite new and has a cool and cosy interior deco. You are really well treated and the food is very, very nice. Thumbs up for the duck, salmon and veal (which is basically what we have had). More

The restaurant is very central - very clean and has friendly front of house staff. We were brought to a part of the restaurant towards the kitchen doors. To be fair the rest of the restaurant was quite full. We ordered a main course which was described for two persons and the portion was a little lighter than one might... More

Ordered a steak with mashed potatoes. Steak was so thin you could use it as a magnifying glass and burnt on both sides. The whole meal was bland and tasteless. They serve wine by glass and it's not explained anywhere in the menu what volume does one glass contain. To my disappointment it was approx. 100ml and the price was... More
