Textúra

A very high-class restaurant. The way the dishes are presented is amazing. Every dish we chose was delicious and excellent. The service is excellent, courteous and wonderful. A restaurant we will happily return to.

Service, food, wine pairing, food, food and food were all super amazing. The 4 course and pairing was everything to expect from a Michelin restaurant. Got to get that star soon! And the price was super affordable for such a good restaurant

Textura is the sister restaurant of the Michelin star Borkonyha Winekitchen. Textura uses local produces and brings back old, traditional cooking methods such as poaching, smoke-curing and confiting combined with techniques and ingredients of international cuisines. The result is a kitchen which is not afraid to experiment. Ákos Sárközi is the executive chef of both restaurants and continues to excel with innovative and creative dishes. For my starter I had the soup: Citrusy chicken ragout soup with tarragon. For my main I had the Mangalica duet, Savoy cabbage, and beetroot. Mangalica is a Hungarian pig breed. The soup was packed with flavor and the pork was top notch, although you have to be a fan of beetroot since there was a heavy portion of it. The beetroot slices complement the pork well though. You are provided fresh bread and homemade butter to start as well as a starter bite (mine had a piece of smoked fish which was delicious) and various sweets after dinner is over.

How does this place not have a Michelin Star? We arrived at this restaurant from a recommendation of a friend without a reservation. There were no tables available, but they were able to fit us at a bar area. We chose the 8 course with wine paring for dinner. Each plate was exquisitely prepared and served. Each bottle of wine had the history and location of the vineyard explained before pouring. The service was phenomenal! We were taken care through the entire journey. For walking in and going on a food journey like that it was truly memorable. Bottom line, if you’re in Budapest you must go and eat here!!!

Fantastic food and service, Textura delivers a big flavour punch and Michelin star quality. Table service was attentive and knowledgeable and at £80 a head for 3 courses, 3 glasses of wine and a couple of tasty pre-course treats, including a delicious amuse-bouche and petit four, dinner at Textura represents excellent value. I would highly recommend!

Business lunch - excellent fine dining dishes at a reasonable price. Might just take too long on a workday, almost 1.5 hours. Bit dark inside in general.

Thoroughly impressed. Nicely designed space, not too loud, not dead silent either. Four of us shared almost everything on the menu between us. All dishes were very well plated, thoughtfully crafted and very very tasty. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

I want to go ahead and say that the food was excellent, as you would except from a restaurant on the Michelin Guide. However, the service was subpar. We arrived at 8:10pm, by 9:20pm we only had our first course of the 7-course tasting menu. Our courses took ages to be served and our waiters were not attentive at all. I had to wave them down to say we haven't had a single course in the past 45 minutes. They said the kitchen fell behind and was trying to catch up, but the tables around us were getting served much faster than we were. The candles on our table burnt all the way down twice, the second time it was not replaced with still 2-3 courses to go. We finished our dinner at 11:20pm, over 3 hours after we were seated. At this level and price point, this is unacceptable. We got a vague "sorry about the kitchen mess up" at the end from our server and €150pp bill with service mandatory charge included. The highlights of the meal were the fried blood sausage with beetroot, the deconstructed stew and the salty dessert (turoscsusza). Pictures below.
