La Lucia Restaurant — Restaurant in Budapest

This restaurant turned out to be a true tourist trap, enriching itself with exorbitant prices and subpar food. My experience here was extremely disappointing, and I cannot recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience.

Let's start with the prices. The restaurant demands outrageous prices that are not justified by the quality of the food. You pay twice or even three times as much compared to other restaurants in the area that offer much better food at reasonable prices. It's evident that this restaurant is solely focused on taking advantage of unsuspecting tourists.

Now, onto the food itself. It's difficult to put into words just how disappointing the dishes were. The food lacked flavor, was bland, and clearly prepared without any passion. The ingredients seemed of low quality, and there was a complete absence of culinary highlights. It felt like they were aiming to cater to the masses rather than striving to deliver high-quality cuisine.

The service in the restaurant was okay, without any standout moments or disappointments. The staff was moderately friendly and attentive, but they didn't leave a lasting impression. There was no special personal touch or hospitality that one would expect from a good restaurant.

All in all, it is clear that this restaurant is grossly overpriced, and the quality of the food is severely lacking. It is a typical tourist trap that attempts to exploit unsuspecting visitors. I strongly advise against wasting your money and time in this restaurant. There are numerous other restaurants in the area that offer higher quality food at more reasonable prices and will provide you with a much more enjoyable...

We wanted to sit in a specific location, that was free of ppl. We refused by the waiter and he insisted on a different location. We just started to leave the restaurant... The waiter suddenly allowed us... Why to reach this situation? We ordered and due to missunderstanding I got the wrong soup. IMEDIATLY the waiter replace the soup. A hot Hungarian goulash soup. We already ate this soup in this vacation. In this restaurant the goulash soup was PERFECT!!! I also invited a Korean rice with duck, and asked a little spicy - PERFECT!!! That was enough to understand the restaurant quality, Waiters are working efficiently, and most of the time you will find a waiter near you, so no problem to get service and a fast one. Restaurant is not small, I would say a medium plus size. There is the first floor and also a second floor and also the option to sit outside (at winter it covers and close to wind plus electric Ovens). Toilet on second floor, NOT SURE ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY!!! Toilets are clean and welcome you to 'visit them'. waiter invest of learning their frequent customers country language's and you might be surprised with a waiter that has few words in your language.. I will certainly recommend this restaurant to friends. ACTUALLY, I might return their myself if I will have a chance in another vacation in Budapest. The goulash soup picture Attached and also the Korean rice with duck. Just that originally it served as half a ball shape, which is easially 'breaks' in your plate by a...

La Lucia Budapest

This place has the worst expensive food I ever had in Budapest.

I ALWAYS CHECK MY FOOD BEFORE I START EATING IT We waited for 40 minutes and after all that they started to close down…

First of all your place is doing Chinese,grill, Hungarian, Italian, all the foods from the whole world in one kitchen, come on now have some respect for your self and your staff.

Why not starting to do just one ☝️ and a good one. You charge so much for the worst food in the Budapest.

Even your staff are embarrassed 🙈 when they see all the customers looking at that menu. You set up for failure straight away and it is not fair to keep people waiting from 21:30 until 22:30 🕥 when you know for fact that they will have to eat your food as all the places are closing down including yours. I wish I never enter to...
