Spoon The Boat

We discovered this place online and decided to consider it for dinner, mainly because of its beautiful view of the castle — which, when illuminated at night, creates a truly picturesque setting. During a morning stroll along the Danube River, we thought it would be a good idea to secure a reservation for the evening, just as several Google Maps reviews had suggested. Although opinions about this restaurant seem to be quite mixed, we were fortunate to have a wonderful experience. The service was exceptional — elegant, attentive, and carried out with a touch of sophistication. We were seated at a stunning wooden table that truly felt like a piece of art, adding to the refined ambiance. The food was enjoyable overall. My family members highly recommend the goulash soup, which they found to be rich in flavor and very well prepared. I opted for the burger, which was decent but not particularly memorable — just a good, standard burger. The atmosphere was elevated by the presence of a live pianist, playing soft, cozy tunes that created a relaxed and intimate dining vibe. As for pricing, it was quite reasonable considering the quality of service and the elegant setting. Overall, I would recommend dining here — just be aware that experiences seem to vary, so it's a bit of a gamble. Fortunately, ours turned out to be a lovely way to end the day.

We walked in on the off chance and got seated with a wonderful view. Peter our waiter was very attentive and always appeared when needed! Excellent value for menu, fabulous food and lonely cocktails and wine! Thank you Spoon!

I really enjoyed boat restaraunt experience! Staff was very lovely, thank you, András, for being nice with us:) Food was brought very fast, and taste was really good, and pear lemonade was interesting to try! We reserved a table and asked the staff to choose for us the best view for the sunset, and they really did so!☺️ Very nice gesture. The only thing that I didn’t like was very loud music, and genre I believe wasn’t suitable for the concept. I would prefer more classical and jazzy songs, and also there were a lot of spiders/nests on the fencing part of the boat

Had a fabulous evening on the boat. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and the service was great. Our waiter was Andra's, he was very friendly and when we had ordered dessert he put a candle in my mum's cake for her birthday and had the pianist play happy birthday to her. Very memorable

Very friendly & helpful staff - especially Zoli. Tradition & modern menu. Beautiful presentation and balance flavours. Magical setting too. Worth a visit.

This was a wonderful find when walking along the riverside. The food was a work of art and tasted delightful. Andras looked after us and was so knowledgeable and attentive- his actions were just as important as the food. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely amazing place to eat, drink and enjoy the river atmosphere. The cocktails are splendid and the pistachio dessert was to die for! Staff very friendly and helpful. Toilets superbly clean..100% with a visit If you are in Budapest.

Had a lovely evening at Spoon The Boat, food was beautiful and a stunning location. We had Bea serve us for the evening and she did a wonderful job, efficient and very friendly. Thank you so much.
