Description: Do you know what Vakvarjú is? If you have ever tried a finely crisped bread dough with a lacy brim directly served from the oven, you must have tasted "vakvarjú”, the original fried bread dough of Hungary . This is the name of the simple, but even more delicious traditional dish of Hungary, of which you could try many variations in our restaurant. If you prefer other specialties, you are also warmly welcomed. You can choose any of our delicacies from the menu. Would you like to taste homemade dishes? Our cooks are just preparing appetizing savories in the kitchen. Believe us, all are worth trying!

This is a superb restaurant in the centre of Budapest.
The food is delicious , the ambience with the pianist is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. If I was staying longer in Budapest I would definitely be going back.

Terrible food! Rude waiter! Overpriced!
Avoid at all cost 😅
The only good thing was they give extremely small portions so you don’t have to suffer for long!

We had breakfast here on our last day in Budapest. We’d seen this place looking quite popular as we’d walked passed on previous mornings. The inside is both grand and quirky with its decor, the food was good, plenty of vegetarian options, and staff were friendly. Reasonable prices for its central location.
