Exquisite service and bizarre ice cream: Restaurant Bock Bisztró (16. December 2018)

The Bock Bisztró is a place I found thanks to the Guide Michelin app – and while it looks rather simple as a place, I can definitely recommend you to pay the place a visit. I went for the “traditional bison goulash soup” (1’850 HUF) which was rich, slightly spicy and would just provide you […]

Eating like a zombie – braaaaaaaaaains: Restaurant Textúra (15. December 2018)

Eating like a zombie – braaaaaaaaaains: Restaurant Textúra (15. December 2018)

It was time to experience a truly interesting dish as a starter – “brain foam with crunchy pearl barley and honeycomb” (2’850 HUF). Not something for the easily disturbed as I must admit, the view isn’t too pleasant really. I mean, have you ever had a brain on your plate? I sure didn’t! But there […]

Good lunch deal but doesn’t make you feel comfortable: ZONA Budapest (15. December 2016)

Good lunch deal but doesn’t make you feel comfortable: ZONA Budapest (15. December 2016)

The ZONA used to be among the best restaurants in Budapest – I was told. But also, I was informed that the chef has changed twice in the last year. And I don’t know if that is also true for the rest of the staff but it was definitely the place I felt least welcome […]

Close to perfect dishes but over-caring service: Restaurant Costes (14. December 2016)

Close to perfect dishes but over-caring service: Restaurant Costes (14. December 2016)

The ‘Costes’ is the first Hungarian restaurant which has received a Michelin star in 2010. And they managed to keep it throughout the entire time – and I must admit, for a reason. It wasn’t entirely intuitive to me as I think there are a couple of things one could do better but overall, it […]

Great lunch offering in cozy atmosphere: St. Andrea Wine & Gourmet Bar (14. December 2016)

Great lunch offering in cozy atmosphere: St. Andrea Wine & Gourmet Bar (14. December 2016)

The St. Andrea Wine & Gourmet Bar is located kind of at the other end of the inner city so you have to walk quite a bit until you arrive there (from the river). But they offer a nice “lunch menu with three courses incl. a beverage” (3’200 HUF). You are free to pick from […]

Decent breakfast selection but not as stylish as you’d expect: L19 Restaurant @ Lánchíd 19 Design Hotel Budapest (14. December 2016)

Decent breakfast selection but not as stylish as you’d expect: L19 Restaurant @ Lánchíd 19 Design Hotel Budapest (14. December 2016)

The breakfast selection at the Lánchíd 19 Design hotel is rather limited but absolutely okay. You find kind of everything ranging from vegetables to cereals to cold cuts and various cheeses as well as crumbled egg and bacon. And, if you want you can order your egg dish with the waiters. The selection of juices […]

Lovely view over Budapest: High Note SkyBar @ Aria Hotel Budapest (13. December 2016)

The High Note Sky Bar is a roof top bar located on the top of the Aria Hotel. When you enter the main entrance, the elevator is in the back left corner (not immediately visible). What you get up there is nothing special in terms of atmosphere of the actual place (rather standard) but the […]

Outstanding lunch menu with perfect wine pairing: Restaurant Baraka (13. December 2016)

Outstanding lunch menu with perfect wine pairing: Restaurant Baraka (13. December 2016)

I walked into an almost empty restaurant for lunch – there was just one other table where two people were seated. The rest was – astonishingly enough – empty. The reservation had worked out (but was unnecessary given the occupancy of the restaurant) and I was assigned my table with a view to the kitchen. […]
