21 - Magyar Vendéglő - Hungarian bistro

Located along Castle road ... about 6mins walk ... An established Hungarian restaurant serving authentic local cuisines and wine. We had their Goulash soup, which was delicious, except that it tasted a bit too Saltash for me ... Paired with their in-house bread slice, it tasted just right .... Chicken Praprika was nicely presented with greens and noodle dumplings... with a rich sauce. Weiner Schnitzel came with a generous bowl of creamy potato puree together with a plate-size meat. A glass of Tokaj sweet wine and a red completed our lunch. A must-visit restaurant, with Super Friendly Staffs and nice restaurant layout and decor ...

What a great experience and food in proper Buda historical center, Roland and his great charisma made our experience even better. With no doubt the best restaurant that I visited during my stay in Budapest. Typical food with their own style but without losing the essence. It’s a must go in the city.

We dined tonight at this place and we were satisfied with quality and presentation of food. Waiters were extremely pleasant, food was served in time. David, who was our waiter was very professional and pleasant, also other colleague, young man with dark hair was very kind. Other gentlemen wearing suit, I suppose he was sommelier or supervising place was kind too.

A very nice restaurant with a beautiful decor and delicious food. We had some signature dishes like bear stew and chicken paprika. The service was fantastic. We were accommodated by Roland who helped us to choose the best meals on the menu and of course very polite and professional. Highly recommend this place for some traditional Hungarian cuisine and great atmosphere!

Roland was excellent. He was very attentive, kind and made great food / wine recommendations. Overall, this restaurant was terrific and perhaps the best we dined at in all of Hungary. We had the cured meat starter, the Mangalitsa pork and Ludlab torte.

We had a lovely dinner here. We didn't have a reservation but they managed to fit us in. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. We had the rosè duck with pumpkin pureè and the transylvanian bear stew - both were amazing (the bear stew was one of the nicest dishes we had when in Budapest). Our server, Roland, was so friendly and helped us pick out different wines to go with our meals. All in all, a very nice dinner in a lovely area - would definitely recommend!

Akos, a local, recommended the Chicken Paprikash here at 21 Magyar Vendeglo and Da'vid was my gracious server. His friendly helpfulness was beyond expectations. He asked where i was from (I was dining solo) and made me feel welcome, despite my lack of a reservation. He even charged my phone after a long day of site seeing and taking photos! The food was excellent, including the presentation! I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a wonderful family dinner with 10 adults and a baby, and the restaurant handled our large group with ease. Their quick response and willingness to accommodate us made the evening stress-free. Our server was attentive, friendly, and took great care of everyone at the table. The food was tasty and well-prepared, everyone left happy and full. A great spot for groups and families.
