Excellent service, fantastic food. Norbi was very kind and attentive, which made the whole evening even better. The flavors were fantastic, everything seemed fresh and perfectly prepared, plus the food arrived quickly too! If we are in Budapest again, we will definitely come back.

Everything we ate was great. I can only recommend the white chocolate and poppy seed soufflé! The pizzas also looked really good – if we have time, we'll come back tomorrow to try one :)
