Wonderful restaurant with super relaxed atmosphere, cute decorations, friendly and helpful staffs who tries their best to make you feel comfortable. I had the week’s tasting menu (the theme was Winnie the Pooh) and the food were lovely and sparkled with good ideas. Great for both dating and dinning alone.

Cute place trying to be fine-dining but the food and wine pairing doesn’t live up to the expectations. Concept, service and plating are very good (4 stars). The food itself was mediocre at best and the wine pairing didn’t complement the food at all (2 stars). We had the Lord of the Rings menu: the Gorgonzola starter was creative and surprisingly light which was positive. The mackerel that followed was served with a huge amount of potatoes and was overall a bit plain. The rabbit tasted good but was dry and the vegetables that came along didn’t match. The palette cleanser ice cream was way too heavy and creamy - it felt like a dessert. The main course (tenderloin) was overcooked (almost well done) and even had a bit of a burnt crust. The crisps that came along with the beef were soggy and chewy in the sauce and mash (again potato). The chocolate dessert was very heavy in orange sour and sweet sauce and the sweet wine wasn’t a good pairing either as it’s an overkill. Wine pairing: the local Hungarian wines we tried in some of the wine bars in Budapest were all better than the ones chosen for our pairing.

Absolutely perfect meal. We had the Lord of the Rings themed tasting menu. Delicious food full of imagination and character. The matching wines, all local, were perfect. As was the host. Not a cheap meal, but worth every forint.

It was fantastic experience here for the last night in Budapest. They made the course menu from the novel and it's very interesting:) The waiter explained to me the menu is about and how it is related to the novel. I love the place and love to come back here later😊😊

One of the best meals of my life. Truly delicious and edible art, inventive beyond belief. And amazing gluten free accommodation. I can't even explain how cool this was. Looks fancy but not so fancy a simple gal like me couldnt enjoy it. DEFINITELY visit here. Recommend reservations.
