Salt

Some dishes are very nice but some other average or basic. For the rate they charge I had higher expectations and was expecting better overall dining experience. Loved the mushroom dish and the deserts at the end. Still, a really nice environment and very good service but I think they need to revisit the menu and also ask for feedback from their guest in a genuine manner and not pretend that their menu is unquestionable.

Great experience, the menu was a surprise as we didn’t decide to open it. And every dish was better than the next. The service and attention to detail are worth an additional Michelin star. Recommended for a romantic dinner.

We had reservations for this place, unfortunately my partner got sick few hours before. As we reached the restaurant by mail they wrote that unfortunately they will have to charge the full price of the dinner and there is no option for rescheduling. I decided to go by my self. When i asked the staff if it is possible to take something take away for my partner to taste they said they can give only the bread and the petit four. They offered me to eat double the dishes. I dont understand what was the problem to give the salmi (which was the best course) take away. We booked few weeks in advance flew in from different country, i think they should be more forgiving for their clients. The food was not balanced for my taste.

Salt Budapest was a real highlight of our trip. The tasting menu (we did 14 courses with wine pairing) was full of surprising flavors and beautifully presented dishes, all rooted in Hungarian ingredients and traditions. The wines were excellent, the service was professional yet friendly, and the whole evening felt special without being overly formal. Easily one of the best dining experiences in Budapest.

The restaurant is cozy and well presented. The staff are polite and well educated on the exact details of each meal. The chef ensures each meal that goes out is perfect. 14 Courses and a Juice pairing for Two, came to €560/£440/201,000HUF, for reference. If I could do it again, I would likely drop the juice pairing as only a couple were particularly memorable. I'm sure they work for other diners, but just not for us. Potato Cake and Chicken Broth was excellent, as was the pork and beetroot, and the rice pudding dessert was my partner's personal favourite. Lastly, they called on the day to confirm any dietary requirements, my partner cannot have pork, the restaurant catered to this, adjusting her menu to suit. All in all, I would recommend a visit if you are in Budapest and can stretch your budget a bit.

The food was good although a bit too sour for my taste (and I got some belly aches after), everything being very professional doneand I really enjoyed the presentation they gave us for each course. Everything went very smooth and I did not realize when 3 hours have passed. One note that I would have is that when we were served a new wine (we got the local wine pairing which I can definitely recommend), the presentation of the wine was on a fast forward manner, like they just wanted to be over with it. They also used a lot of terms which I did not know (maybe because I am not a pro when it comes to wine tasting) but I would have liked it more if they would have presented this in a way that people with less knowledge in this field would gain more.

The staff was extremely polite, observant, smiling and contributed significantly to the good atmosphere felt in the restaurant. The food was well presented and great. Local ingrediencies, self grown herbs and various special conservation methods was the baseline. From luxury dishes to potato soup - which by the way was excellent. The Hungarian wine pairing was interesting - including great story telling by the sommelier - and it also provided a couple of positive surprises. The Turay Családi Pincészet (Brut) being one of them. Orange wine(s) was also special. The Micheline star awarded to Salt is well deserved. Fantastic! Even such excellent establishments, may have room for some slight improvements even if it's on tiny detail levels: When a wine is supposed to go with more than one dish, it's quite common to get a little extra in the glass if close to empty when the last of the pairing courses are served. When serving the bread , we were told to not eat it all with the next course as it also should be a side to the following. If the waiter had added "but if you need more, just ask" it would have been prefect. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Salt is the best restaurant in Budapest. Here you will find many gastronomical discoveries. Your experience will consist of 14 serves. Every serve will be a new experience for you. My strong recommends.
