Mandragóra

The food is amazing and the staff is really kind! Best restaurant I have been in Budapest so far. I will definitely come back! I totally recommend!

Maya was delightful! All the food (starters, entrees, and desserts) was delicious and it seemed like a very local place. Drinks were good too. It wasn’t busy at 7:30pm on a Thursday night. Another server at a local restaurant (Incognito) recommended this place and said it’s one of his favorites. The staff was attentive and generous. We loved our experience!

We specifically visited this restaurant through our experience from our last holiday in Budapest 4 years ago. Here we're talking about a Michelin recommended place so certain mishaps are not acceptable unless rectified on the spot. Part of the welcome was the plenty of items not available...but that's ok.... we're not fussy eaters so my son and myself chose from what was available. We ordered our wine too. And by the way we poured and filled our glasses ourselves!! Not acceptable when one is specifically charged a service fee. Our main courses consisted of a sturgeon fish....but was named trout upon serving it.....so at this point we're not sure what we were served.... we are Mediterranean so we don't eat river fish.. The fish was cooked fine but it took her last swimming experience in the sauces it was served in . The taste was very overwhelming and ruined the taste of the fish. I had venison....and couldn't eat it because it was chewy and almost tough clearly because it was overcooked. I left the meat there....no questions asked why I didn't eat...I drew the attention of the server and she never referred my complaint to the kitchen... She stated that they never had any issues with the venison etc etc... I went in for dinner but was never offered an alternative though I did not insist because at this point the only remedy the server offered was a free dessert..... In normal circumstances one takes a dessert to finish the pallat on a sweet note. I didn't eat so how could I take her free dessert?! The reputation and name of this place definitely took a downhill. We were charged to whatever we ordered and they didn't have the decency to deduct the cost of the food that was overcooked and not edible. I wish someone from the management will take this comment seriously before I take my complaint any further.

The place isn’t near by big streets, so there are not many cars and there’s really a nice vibe. The waiters were really nice and friendly, they accepted us even though the kitchen was closing in a few minutes and were very polite and funny. And the food! It was amazing, we loved every single bite of it. I can only recommend if you are in Buda!

Great service, really good food and reasonable price. Highly recommended!

A true gem, 10 minutes from the center. Small plates and great dishes with a special twist. Amazing wine selection! The owner made us feel really welcome! 🧡

We went here 6 years ago for the atmosphere. We went back today (we live in a different country) and it was just as charming and the food still, if not more, delicious. The staff was very nice as well. All the food is beautiful too!

Go here. Period. We had an amazing chill three course meal here. More expensive than regular Hungarian prices but it's extremely worth it. Cocktails were super tasty and service is friendly and prompt. The food was very very tasty. If you want bang for your buck and just eat, don't go here. If you want great quality, not quantity and leave feeling great, go here. The taste of food was amazing. We were definitely satisfied after a 3-course meal. Tiny eaters can definitely get a 2-course meal. We spent about -+1,5 hours here. I will recommend this place! (Photos of main courses only, gnocchi, duck breast, and pork belly)
