Excellent food, traditional from-scratch recipes. And huge portions.
Save room for dessert!
Truly authentic and traditional dishes! Seriously reminded me of my grandmother's cooking!
Loved the chicken paprika and the stuffed peppers. Delicious food.

The Budapest Cafe offers a mixed dining experience. While the portions are large, the quality of some dishes has declined over time. However, the poppy strudel remains a consistent delight. The service is generally friendly, though pricing transparency for pastries could be improved. The Dobos torte is a decadent treat, though the sponge layers are a bit dry. The apple strudel is reportedly a customer favorite.
The bakery's homemade desserts are the highlight, with the blueberry crumb pie and strudels being particularly praised. The savory dishes, such as the wienerschnitzel and nokedli, have received more mixed reviews. The restaurant has a steady stream of customers, especially for the bakery items located at the front of the shop. While the lunch special may not fully live up to the online description, the bakery remains the main draw for many customers.
The restaurant deserves high praise from customers. Employees greet and treat customers warmly, fulfilling their needs. The meal quality and staff attention both exceed expectations, creating a compelling vibe. The restaurant's dishes show undeniable quality, and the staff combine personal warmth with professional care. While the Dobos torte is not available, the coffee roll cake and other delightful food and cakes are highly recommended, especially for sweet tooth people.
