Rosenstein Vendéglő

I loved everything I eat here. The goulash soup is best I had in town. The Jewish cake was traditional and delightful. The service was professional. They have a huge menu variety and I will definitely come back again.

The food we had there was absolutely fantastic! Their chicken in paprika sauce is so tender and smooth. The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming. The sserver we had was lovely but you need to have a cheeky sense of humour. We absolutely loved it and we were so happy to find a traditional Hungarian restaurant with good food.

My Hungarian friend took me there so that I could taste traditional food and I LOVED it! It was so delicious! The food and the dessert were great! And I had a shot of their traditional pálinka, which was also great! Strong, but great. The waiter was also very kind! Loved everything about this place!

Great restaurant with delicious food and a nice atmosphere. The waiters speak English fluently, which made ordering easy. I had venison, and it was excellent. My only complaint is the chairs. While they’re comfortable to sit in, they’re not practical for dining. The armrests make it difficult to use silverware properly, and I kept hitting my elbows. They feel more suited for lounging than for eating. It's a very popular restaurant, so I highly recommend going early or making a reservation—otherwise, it’s hard to get a table. Overall, a fantastic experience, but I wish they had chosen more dining-friendly seating.

Rosenstein is truly a gem in the middle of beautiful, bustling Budapest. Tucked away on a quiet, little street. Don’t be fooled by the average decor. The dishes are delicate, but hearty. Packed with incredible flavor. In addition to the culinary experience, the service is impeccable. And to top it off, the nod to the rich Jewish history of the city is not only evident from the moment you walk in, but makes the whole dining experience worth every second and penny. End your meal with flodni and coffee. 5 stars in every way.

I've experienced goulash at many highly rated and polular places in Budapest, and yet this on gloriously stands above them all. Many goulash variants I've had while were tasty, somewhat lacked flavor or ingridients, yet here it's was a perfect mixture of meat, potatoes and bits of pasta/dough. Add to that some (optional) spiceness and fresh bread, even at 10pm, and huge portion, and you'll get an unforgettable hungarian experience in a home-like setting.

We had lunch at Rosenstein Vendéglő, a Jewish restaurant with a well-known reputation. The atmosphere was welcoming and well-maintained, with a clear sense of tradition. We started with marrow and garlic as an appetiser, followed by goulash. For main courses, we chose the beef cheek in sauce with dumplings and grilled foie gras with vegetables. Both dishes were carefully prepared and satisfying. The service was polite but a bit slow at times. To finish, we shared a crème brûlée served with ice cream. The food overall was of good quality and portioned appropriately. While the experience did not stand out for exceptional service, the meal was enjoyable, and the setting contributed positively. It was a solid lunch in a respected location.

It was the worst restaurant. The staff's attitude was extremely rude and unpleasant. As soon as we entered the restaurant, he looked at our faces, sighed deeply, and looked annoyed and annoyed. His attitude was the same when he took our order. When we received our food and were eating, he didn't check if it was to our taste or not. The only service we received was the use of tables and chairs. However, we received more rudeness and unpleasantness than service. The staff demanded a 10% tip even though they did not provide us with any service or kindness, but rather were rude. This was because it was written in small letters on the front of the menu. They did not even tell us about this in advance. What was even more absurd was that we did not receive any apology or explanation for their rude behavior. When we asked them why they were rude, such as sighing, they only said something completely irrelevant, such as "tips are supposed to be accepted." That staff member does not provide service to customers. The staff's behavior toward us felt like racism, and it actually continued to be like that. The food was also disappointing. The steak was very tough, and the pasta was greasy. It was a shame that I paid 18,000 Ft. I visited the restaurant because it was near my accommodation, but I regretted not going to McDonald's. In fact, the McDonald's I ate the next day was much better. The taste of the food that I was disappointed with was the worst because of the rudeness of the staff. This restaurant was the worst in terms of food and service among all the restaurants I visited in Budapest and Europe. Visiting this place was the most regrettable action during my trip.
