Bobajka Étterem & Kávézó — Restaurant in Tokaji járás

It started off a bad way when I arrived to the restaurant alone and I was asked if I had a table booked. I did not but given that the restaurant was empty, I couldn’t see an issue. The waiter girl went back to ask and I was told that I CAN eat here, which felt pretty patronising.

The restaurant itself feels dark, like as if you were in the vaults and there is a mellow music. I was served by 4 different waiters but mainly an older gentleman, who somehow turned me around as he was attentive and kind. I was to have two courses (a starter and the main) but I changed my mind in the end and had a dessert too.

The food itself was nicely presented but it didn’t take my breath away. I had the beef liver as a main course and interestingly I didn’t really like the wine pairing for that course - in my head something sweet would have gone better with that rather than a fresh, dry and fruity wine as suggested. My waiter was lovely and brought out an outstanding late harvest sweet wine that literally changed the whole board game, just made the dish super tasty. The dessert, bobajka, the actually name of the restaurant, was lovely too.

All in all the dinner was nice, but not remarkable. My experience of the service was hugely mixed. The price is very affordable, especially for western standards (less than £50 for 3 courses, wine and water). They automatically add 15% service charge to the bill, which is correct. All in all it was okay, but I didn’t love it and perhaps I wouldn’t...

Well-done restaurant nestled in a quaint hotel.

Staff was accommodating (as can be) considering there was only one English speaker who was on staff (yes, I know I'm in Hungary).

Best organized wine list I saw in the area. Each village had their own map with corresponding wines. Really laid methodically for beginner newbies like us.

Beautifully coordinated storage unit, too. All the colors of the wines produced a golden rainbow glow.

The language gap forced some delays in service. But we were enjoying our meals, environment and company, so it wasn't unbearable.

Order the cheese plate and ask for a Tokaji recommendation (or two) from your server.

When narrowing down somewhere to eat. I recommend keeping this place...
