Búsuló Juhász — Restaurant in Budapest

Probably the best meal I had during my time in Budapest. We made a dinner reservation for eight people, and when we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty—so we practically had the staff to ourselves, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The service was exceptional: refined, attentive, and with a touch of glamour. A live pianist was playing throughout the evening, adding a sophisticated and relaxing ambiance to the setting.

The food was excellent, especially the dish featured in the first photo. The meat was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, rich in flavor, and complemented beautifully by a delicious sauce. According to some of my family members, the goulash soup wasn’t the highlight of the night, as they had tasted better versions elsewhere—but that was a minor point in an otherwise outstanding experience.

The staff were professional and well-coordinated, contributing to a smooth and pleasant evening. We paid around €20 per person, which felt like a true bargain for the level of service, atmosphere, and quality of the meal.

Although the restaurant is a bit off the beaten path and not located directly near major tourist attractions, I would absolutely recommend making the 30–40 minute walk from the castle area. I’d gladly do it again on a future visit...

When in Budapest you are looking for 3 things: exquisite Hungarian cuisine, a beautiful view and a clean bathroom. Busulo Juhasz has all three! We arrived at noon when they were first opening up shop. We were warmly greated by a kind gentlemen who seated my wife and I on the terrace. We did the whole nine yards: soup, main dish and dessert. All courses took my taste buds on a roller coaster ride and I kept wanting more. The service is what really made the dining experience one to remember. We had 3 or 4 different fine young gentlemen taking care of us. So kind and we could tell that they truly wanted us to have an experience unlike any other. The view can basically be described as a picture Picasso himself painted. Stunning views overlooking Budpest. Last....... But certainly not least, the bathrooms were spotless. I wouldn't lie to you, I would have eaten my lunch in the bathroom if they would have allowed me to. Next level cleanliness😊

In summary, go to this restaurant and be prepared to have an amazing meal for an...

Very classy. The interior design, food, view, staff are perfect. Also great value for the price as it's not as expensive as you would assume for such a restaurant.

One thing I would like to see improving is the reservation process, which should allow to choose a place, especially that most people would want a table by the window (amazing view on Buda).

I attached a comment to my reservation that I would want a specific table. They confirmed the reservation, but then we were provided a table and the one I asked for was reserved. I was not informed about this the moment I made the reservation (if it was already taken I would have chosen another day). Anyway, a couple minutes later the table we wanted was free and we moved to it, so we had a great time with no disappointment. But I still think this point could be improved somewhow.

In short: I highly recommend it, and if you want a seat by the window, make sure you call...
