Emil was so wonderful. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. You never know what to expect in popular fancy spots. But everything was absolutely perfect top to bottom.

QUITE SIMPLY, WITHOUT EXAGGERATION, THE ABSOLUTE BEST BREAKFAST I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I’ve never had a more beautiful presentation, a more extensive spread of offerings, a more beautiful setting, a more attentive and friendly staff, and more delicious food than I’ve ever eaten in my life. This would definitely be my choice for a final meal. The smoked salmon and the cheeses were exquisite, all of the baked goods were still warm as they came out, the fruit is fresh and vibrant, the colors are magnificent, the flavors are intense The smoked salmon was probably the best I’ve ever had. A texture that was indescribable. Light, not oily, not dry, fell apart with the slightest touch The staff is like a Jewish/Italian mother. They keep coming up and suggesting or recommending different food for you to try. You can tell that they truly love their job. One of my waiters, Mustafa came by and suggested that I try the chicken spring rolls. I told him that I was vegetarian and then he said, well then I must get you the vegetable gyoza. Asian vegetable dumplings. I didn’t want to hurt his feeling, so I told him to please get me two. He brought them over before I finished the sentence. I have to say, they’re the best vegetable dumplings I’ve ever tasted. Rivaling any Asian restaurant. Perfectly light, fluffy, steamed, the filling was flavorful and puréed to perfection. I just tried their juice of the day, which may be the best tasting beverage I’ve ever had. It’s a honeyed pear juice with a creamy almond milk base. Chase that with a fresh raspberry smoothie Mustafa keeps checking on me and making sure I’ve tried everything. We just discussed all the beverage choices, and he told me the honeyed pear is definitely one of the best, but the banana smoothie comes in a close second, usually tied with the raspberry smoothie that I have. What’s really great is they seem to take such pride in all the offerings, as though they themselves made it I wish to God I could stay here all day and just eat and then go back to sleep If I do nothing else in this life, at least I wanna be able to come back to this place. I feel like this is where I belong. You know that feeling when you’re so full that you feel like you’re going to explode and yet there’s still 100 items that you still wanna try? I can honestly say that this was worth the trip just coming to this breakfast Restraint and self-control in this case means leaving the table while you can still walk. I’m proud to say that there’s probably still room for one chestnut, which they did have roasted chestnuts that I try at the very end. Without question, the best of Budapest.
