Alma & Körte Restaurant — Restaurant in Budapest

We found this restaurant just by searching for a place for dinner. And it turned out amazing. Great atmosphere, a very nice interior in the restaurant, super cozy lighting, romantic music, friendly staff, plus wonderful service, and the most important thing delicious Hungarian cuisine. We ordered: goulash - soap of meat, potato, and carrot, highly recommended to try especially in cold weather; Duck liver pate - was so smooth and tasty coming with salad on the side, dried plums, and toasted brioche; Roast duck with cholent (Jewish sabbath dish) -the duck was tasty but a little bit fatty; -paprika chicken -this is my new have to try to cook at home dish- it's super delicious and super simple food, tastes like the chicken was slow-cooked and delicious orange sauce was added to it. It comes with homemade noodles, very interesting noodles for me, tried it for the first time. Reminds me of some noodles in the soup from my childhood - galoshki :) For dessert, we shared a chocolate ganache - a chocolate souffle cake with vanilla ice cream and berries. This was heaven in the mouth 😋

This restaurant has a great drinks menu, with many options of local wines and draft beer. We had dessert wine, which was very good. Overall, great experience 😍 highly recommend visiting this wonderful...

Where to start? Honestly I can't find words to describe the amazing experience we had here. First of all it's a good sign if the menu in a restaurant is short. Here you only have a few dishes you can choose from, which means it's really thought out and well made. Many restaurants fall into the trap of having too many items on their menu, which is a sign of a bad chef or owner. We found it hard to choose from it, and ended up choosing the lamb shank, of which I would write odes if I could write poem. It was simply perfect, I almost cried while eating it. Moist, tender, with fig-couscous and a really tasty brown sauce. I had to go tell the chef how amazed I am. We also got a bit of duck fat and bread as a starter which had the same amazing qualities as the lamb shank, it was super delicious. The staff was professional and very nice, they have put the icing on the already perfect cake. I gave out a few 5 star reviews during my years here on Google Maps, but very rarely feel like it was 5 stars because it was 100%. In this case my 5 stars mean my experience here was perfect, thank you all of you for making it happen and keep up this fantastic work. I will come back as often as I can to enjoy this experience...

In the last years I visited the restaurant some times and the service is very good and the food had a good taste as well, but nowadays it is way to expensive.

FOOD For the start we got 2 complimentary slices of bread with pesto-butter. This was a nice litte appetizer. We had had 2 Main dishes: the roast duck and the Venison stew. The stew had a very heavy and intensive red wine taste. The meat was great and very tender at all. But on the other side, the duck with cholent was only okay an nothing special at all. The plate was really clean and i missed some sauce for the duck as well.

For dessert it ordered the Apple Crepe with vanilla ice cream and cream. It was a nice one, but here it was the same thing. It was nothing really special and it was too sweet at all. I missed a counterpart of bitterness.

All in all we payed approx. 34.000 Huf for 2 Main dishes, 6 Glas of wines and 1 Dessert and there are better options...
