Marvelosa Restaurant — Restaurant in Budapest

Went to this place for lunch one day before heading up to Fisherman's Bastion.

They were not busy when got there so we were able to seat ourselves. They did get busy so they will guide you. There is an upstairs area so it may seem small.

The portions are big here so try not to order everything! All of it is good but you want to finish you food! The prices are deceiving. We had the traditional goulash soup, hortobágyi with chicken, duck, and the poppyseed cake. All the food was great. Salt could have been added to the pancake, but that is all.

We have come to realize in Budapest, you need to tell them starters first or they will bring everything out. They kept asking if we wanted some things first. It seemed rude, but they just want to make sure.

Service cost is included. They will refuse tips if you try. The lady just yelled at us that service is included and smiled. It was nice and unexpected.

I recommend coming here. There is interesting decor in the restaurant. There is shop next door to buy some of it. Definitely more of an older generation...

Can't tell if this is the quality you get in that entire area (very close to the key tourist sights of Buda) but I've definitely had better food in Budapest at much better prices. The bread came cold. The daily soup was watered down. The chicken paprikas tasted homemade - which is fine, but I can't justify paying that much for a rather bland meal. For a soup and two chicken paprikas, we ended up paying 13920 forint. If you can, wait until you get back to the Pest side - you can get much better quality/taste in restaurants there. The prices have gone up since last year as well, so you are basically paying as much as the swanky...

Went there for a quick lunch and ended up waiting a long time for the food. The owner apologized as he was lacking his staff, which happens and we were totally fine with the prolonged waiting time. However, 1,5 hours of waiting for a salad with the driest chicken and non-drained pasta with store-bought pesto was not ok. On top of that we were charged 12% service; which we thought was very disappointing as the only service we received in this 1,5h was the owner coming and apologizing for the delay. We would have left the tip regardless, but being charged 12% of the bill after hearing apologies for over an hour is just not in...
