Briós — Restaurant in Budapest

It has been my favorite breakfast place for years, but unfortunately, due to the last couple of occasions and today's very bad experience, I prefer to look for another one. Today I arrived shortly after opening, no one was inside, no one greeted me or came to ask what I wanted. They sat outside and smoked. A woman just passed me and I asked if they were open or where I should sit, and she told me that since it was raining outside and the furniture wasn't laid out, it was logical to go upstairs. After I sat down upstairs, the waiter told me that he could only serve drinks because there was no waiter. I thought the food was prepared by the chef, when I asked when I could have breakfast (at a breakfast place), I was told that he wouldn't know when the waiter would come in, it could be half an hour, it could be an hour and a half, or I could even have to go to the terrace and sit there, in the cold. All of this with the utmost indifference and some scorn when I said that I wasn't coming to a breakfast place to drink but to have breakfast (Sunday morning), when he told me that he even came to work, but he can’t. I don't understand at all what happened to the place, it used to be a pleasure to come here, now it's complete chaos and no hospitality. Move out if you are so bored with hospitality, a million more enthusiastic, kinder and conscientious entrepreneurs would take...

I've been to this place multiple times but the situation that happened today was really unpleasant and it shouldn't happened at all. I came to the place few min before my friends I asked if it's ok to place 5 of us in the outdoor area. I went to the toilet and the table "prepared" for us was basically the small one. So, as it was still lots of space around, we wanted to move another free table to fit there... Then, the waitress with black hair stormed out of the restaurant and said firmly that we can't do this. She left us without solving the situation. She was rude and didn't act professionally at all. The waiter with whom I was talking few minutes earlier was just standing there, did nothing. We weren't offered any other spot (inside or outside), we were basically forced to leave. I have been living in the city 5 years, I witnessed many situations but if you don't like your job - simply change it. I was always recommending the restaurant to my friends but I won't anymore. The way how you act can crash reputation of the place. It was also the very first impression of the country, hospitality and a customer service for my friends. I was...

TLDR: A solid option for those looking for an affordable brunch in a lively setting, but be prepared for smaller portions and flavors that may not live up to the beautiful presentation.

A cozy spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed brunch. The vibe was really enhanced by the music, which fit the place perfectly. We visited on a Saturday morning around 9:30, and it was already packed, so arriving early is definitely a good idea.

The prices are relatively affordable compared to similar restaurants, but the portions are on the smaller side. While this might be expected for the price, it’s worth noting if you're looking for a more filling meal. I ordered the American pancake, but it resembled more of a traditional "palacsinta"—thin and quite small. Despite its size, it was generously filled with cream, which some might appreciate, though in my case it was overly sweet. I ended up scraping off most of the cream to make it edible.

One highlight was the food presentation, which was gorgeous and really made the dishes look appealing. However, it was a bit disappointing that the taste didn’t quite match the visual appeal. The...
