Concealed along a bustling street frontage, a covered terrace is trimmed in freshly painted rod iron and crisp marquee. A small doorway is attended by two formal waiters that leads to a demure entrance to what many consider the city’s most exciting dining scene that mixes the casualness of a wine bar with pedigree cuisine crowned in Gault Millau points and Michelin star. Inside, more modern design is married in art nouveaux architectural details trimmed in bold black pin striping through a series of parlor rooms and formal bar area. Seating comes along a series of spare black wood tabletops with leather banquettes and casual bistro chairs.
The Food
A classic Budapest bistro menu melds flavors of east and west European cuisine with appetizers of celery soup, tuna with trout and dried tomatoes, and selection of raw bar items that change on a bi-weekly basis. Main course is a meatier affair with Argentine rump steak with sweet potatoes, Black cod with pumpkin and endless ragouts of lamb and beef.
Last Word
Stylish wine bar with dining room and terrace offers lively Budapest scene with food that wows locals and visitors alike.
