"This contemporary eatery stands out amongst the myriad choices on vibrant Október Street, both for its smooth service and its modern, well-presented cooking – and it's certainly a popular spot. Large blackboards announce the daily specials, which see traditional Hungarian recipes brought up-to-date, and the excellent value lunch menu is always a hit. Local beers and wines complete the picture." - Michelin Inspector

MICHELIN Guide Budapest : from breakfast to dinner, the perfect gourmet day

"Bright and airy, with sober wooden tables and a mezzanine for small groups, this relaxed, unfussy bistro showcases Hungarian staples through a young chef’s lens: expect a refined yet generous modern chicken paprikash, a dome of foie gras mousse, and the ubiquitous túrógombóc. Chef Márton Irtó, 28, preserves tradition while enhancing it with modern techniques and thoughtful plating—think goose liver with sour plum sauce and millet shaped like a Chinese roll—and he’s baked more than a thousand versions of túrógombóc in pursuit of perfection. It’s reasonably priced, pours local wines from small wineries and craft beers, and insists on top ingredients, including Hortobágy beef raised exclusively for the restaurant near Budapest. “Hoppá” means “oops” or “wow,” a fitting exclamation after a great meal here." - Le Guide MICHELIN

We had a great evening. Beef tartar, the potato, the veel, the paprikas, creme brulee and cheese donuts were all amazing. Sasa was a great host and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We didn't get any wine, but the cocktails were good. Atmosfera was nice, not too busy, not too empty, very quick service, music not too loud and good conversations. Once more, thank you Sasa! P.S.: only weird part was that the service charge is not tips. The service charge from the bill goes to the restaurant. If you want to add tip for the waiter, you need to add it separately

Wonderful meal in Budapest - a real treat! We had the goulash and onion soup to start, followed by the risotto and pork belly. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. We washed this down with an excellent bottle of Syrah. Impeccable service and really loved how each course was accompanied by a little explainer of how the dish was prepped. Highly recommend if you’re looking for excellent quality and a real treat of an experience.

Amazing food and lovely restaurant. We shared many dishes between us and indulged in some delicious Hungarian wine too. Only dish we didn’t love was the duck. The duck was cooked perfectly, the rest of the dish was slightly too dry. The service was nice but we did feel as if we were slightly an inconvenience as the kitchen shut between 3-5 so the waiters did keep walking around our table a lot. However lunch reservations are taken up to 2.30pm which I think needs to be reconsidered perhaps? Didn’t deter us from enjoying our lunch though! Worth every penny ☺️

We had another great meal at Hoppa. The service we received from Balasz was excellent. The service was attentive without being overbearing and the staff are well versed with the menu and drinks recommendations. The food is outstanding. Beautifully presented and full of flavour. A favourite in Budapest and worth a visit.

We had an unforgettable dinner at Hoppá Bistro in Budapest. The food was modern and inventive, composed of many different elements, yet never overdone. Somehow, every component came together beautifully, creating dishes that were both balanced and exciting. The staff provided outstanding, highly professional service. It was clear that they knew the menu inside out, and their wine-pairing recommendations were spot-on, elevating the entire experience. Overall, it was a delightful and delicious evening. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic meal/ evening at Hoppá bistro with my wife and 2 boys. Our server Sasa was very helpful with the boys. I had a hard twine deciding what to get as I wanted at last 5 of the dishes. I went with the veal and I certainly was happy with my final choice. The kids menu of chicken nuggets was top notch and could tell fresh and not factory. We tried 2 different deserts and was so happy with them. Had a nice glass or 2 of Hungarian Pinot nor not to mention a live IPA beer to start. Overall I would highly recommend a visit.

Loved this place so much we went back for a second meal! Sasa and Tommy were both phenomenal waiters with so much charisma. The chicken paprikash is a must. Between both our meals, we tried all the desserts that were offered. You can’t go wrong with any of them. This place is a mystery if you’re in the area. Fantastic good without being pretentious. Truly a gem.
