TATI Farm to Table restaurant

We had a truly memorable evening at TaTi in Budapest. The atmosphere is stylish yet cozy, with warm wood accents and a modern design. The restaurant is set across two levels – the upstairs bar offers an excellent cocktail selection (the Pepper Pam is a highlight), while the downstairs area creates the perfect setting for larger groups. We chose the five-course tasting menu with wine pairing, and it was outstanding. The goulash soup and the paprikash chicken stood out as absolute highlights, closely followed by the perfectly prepared duck. Dessert was a refined surprise: delicate cheese dumplings that rounded off the menu beautifully. The wine recommendations were spot-on and complemented each course seamlessly. What makes TaTi particularly special is its concept of showcasing local ingredients and regional wines, which not only support sustainability but also give guests a true taste of Hungary’s culinary richness. Overall, TaTi combines creativity, authenticity, and hospitality in a way that makes it a must-visit when in Budapest.

I visited this restaurant drawn by its philosophy and focus on local ingredients, which truly stood out for their excellent quality. The service was kind and attentive, impressive given the small staff managing a two-floor dining room with many tables. The cuisine was both simple and refined, and every dish was delicious. The goulash, in particular, was outstanding—probably the best I’ve ever had—flavorful yet surprisingly light. The selection of local wines was also excellent. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Arrived in Budapest after a very long day and had the best dinner we could have had to bring our journey to a happy conclusion. An amuse bouche of roasted turnip was absolutely delicious. And the goulash soup to follow was just the best. Tender pieces of beef with locally grown vegetables in a scrummy rich soup. Perfect. All washed down with Inni Jo 2023, a delightful red from Villány in the south of Hungary. All in all a great introduction to local, wholesome Hungarian cuisine. Staff delightfully attentive and kind too.

TLDR: Absolutely amazing meal with well-paired wines and excellent service, very price worthy! It seems to me that there are very inflated ratings for many restaurants in Budapest but this is not one of them. We were able to get a table for 10 at the last minute and they were very accommodating especially since we had 6 people that ordered the tasting menu and 4 people that were cheap and didn’t. We had to wait 15 minutes for the table because the guests before us were not finished but this was amended with a glass of sparkling wine for each person - on the house. We were blown away by the wine pairings for each dishes and 3 of the wines we ordered were some of the best I’ve had in my life. Only thing to note was that some of us found there was a very slight lack of salt in some of the dishes. The service was amazing and very professional - we were even offered coffee even though it was after closing and cleaning of the coffee machine had started. At the end of the night we were unfortunately overcharged for 6 wine packages which we didn’t notice on the bill initially but this was swiftly handled when we brought it up the following day of service. Mistakes happen and it’s how you deal with them that matters and here I can’t give anything but 5 stars. Really recommend coming here if you’re in Budapest!

Incredible food journey for people that would like to explore Hungarian food. I personally had the tasting menu which gives you smaller dishes of their most popular options. Wine pairing is optional but I stuck with some local beers. Food was fresh and tasted very good. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great and the staff were very helpful and friendly. My only recommendation to the owner would be to hire more staff. One server was literally running around trying to get everything done which just isn’t good. All in all I can fully recommend this place to any fellow travelers.

Food was amazing but I am more particular about a restaurant’s service. I went there for lunch today and I showed a photo of a meal here that was in Google Reviews to ask if it is available. There is this blonde waitress who gave me a ridiculous look as if Im stupid and said “That was two years ago. We change our menu every time.” — OKAY? Im a tourist and you couldve explained it nicely. I noticed the crew interacted differently with customers who are white. The tall male waiter even approached customers per table to ask if everything was alright except for me. Lol are they all racists? I got a different treatment coz Im asian? And in the end the male waiter had the audacity to ask “would you like to give us a tip for our warm hospitality?’ — wowww your WHAT?! 😅

Excellent food and great service. We had the tasting menu, with wine. It was delicious and the wines were unusual but went very well with the food. The trout and pork dishes stood out for me, the desert was marvellous too. Tip: try and book a table upstairs as downstairs was a little bit cold and has a feel of being a overflow room due to the restaurants obvious popularity. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the three dishes thoroughly - duck, white bean, cabbage for entree, chicken paprikash for main and cottage cheese dumplings. Well presented, delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend trying this restaurant if you’re in Budapest; you’ll likely need to make a reservation the day before.
