Fatal Restaurant: Great food in the center
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Fatál (not to be mistaken by the femme fatale, since "fatál" is a hungarian word meaning "wooden plate") is a place with great atmosphere and good Hungarian and international cuisine. Prices are a bit higher then average, but they are reasonable for the quality you get. The place is open from 11:30 AM until 2:00 AM.

    Don't know just try some Hungarian thing :)

    Fatal Restaurant: Picard Caffe
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Very nice and quiet coffehouse 2 min walk from the Parliament. While walking in Falk Miksa Str, you would be suprised how many antique shops take place in one street, actually you might find I think up to ten. Entering Picard will cause you a little suprise, because the place looks really small, but has a very happy atmosphere, and there are a wide range of meals. Cant even choose what to eat: toasted ciabbatta or salad or baked vegetables or maybe home made cakes. I recommend to have breakfast in Picard with fresh croissant and coffe au lait:-) (and dont be suprised if you meet some Hungarian celebrities. but you go to Picard to ffel good and not for be seen.)

    I love brown ciabatta with prosciutto and mozarella and tomato... it is huge, fresh and beautiful!!

    Fatal Restaurant: Great food, location, and price!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Don't let the name deter you from dining here! Fatal actually means wooden plate. The only thing that is related to the name is how fatally full you will be! Located in Pest, it is easily accessible and has great food at a reasonable price. I've been twice and both experiences where great. Massive portions (see picture)!!! The only downfall was the service, it took incredibly long to get the another drink and getting the bill took ages. Other than that if you're not pressed for time, I definately recommend this restaurant!

    I would have to say the Potato casserole was good and also the chicken schnitzel was good as well....

    Fatal Restaurant: Huge portions of Hungarian food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This restaurant seemed to be recommended by everyone-Vters, guidebooks, websites, etc. so I was pleasantly surprised when we made our 1st visit for lunch that there was no waiting. Service was quick, although not particularly friendly, and the food was excellent. We went back for dinner the next night (weekday) and it was much busier although we still got a table right away we seemed to be relegated to the "bad American with no reservation section". Once again service was fairly quick except dessert which took a bit longer and the server was less than pleasant. The restaurant's entrance is just off the main tourist shopping street Vaci Utca, it is well marked with a sign. And I hope you enjoy my photo of the meal, other patrons were pointing at me and laughing :-)

    On my first visit I tried the chicken gulyas which is chicken in a paprika/sour cream sauce with a healthy portion of spatzle to accompany it. It was absolutely delicious and the portion was enough for two. David tried the pork schnitzel which was also quite good and came with a side of onion fried potatoes. He only finished about 1/2 as well. On the 2nd visit, we tried something different and I forgot to write it down it's actual name, a pancake with chicken and mushrooms which was a little too salty and David's was a kebab of some sort which he liked but I definitely liked my first meal better. This seemed to be a smaller portion so we still had room left for dessert, mine was banana fritters with ice cream and it was OK but nothing special.

    Fatal Restaurant: Hungarian food, medieval atmosphere
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The striking fact about Fatal, were the size of the portions! They were incredible big, impossible to finish them. I found out (unfortunately too late) that you can ask for what was left to be packed so that you can take it away. There was menu in english and also the personnel spoke english. And everything at a very good price.

    Fatal Restaurant: Bad name, Good food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I don't know how you would descibe Fatal's other than saying it has great food, huge portions and very reasonable prices! (and of course it is becoming the de facto VT meeting place!

    Hmmm.... I honestly can't say as I haven't had everything on the menu yet, but I ate there twice and both times the food was fantastic.

    Inga took us to Fatal to celebrate her birthday... . And what a good choice. When our neighbours got their food, all of us couldn't help but stare. It was a whole tower of food. And i swear i saw another 'dish (read huge plate) passing by with a whole chicken on top... We also got easily enough food for ourselves and we had the 'smaller' dishes And it was delicious. Fatal can be very busy thoug so it is possible you have to wait or even come back another night.. 2005 update: We found it again.And also this time it was very very crowded. But we got seats for all 5 of us. The food still tasted great and even the hungarian among us left very satisfied. After asking if people ever finished an entree and a main course the waiter told us that is someone did they offered him/her a dessert for free.

    Fatal Restaurant: Fatal - The Budapest Restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • On my first day in Budapest VT member Nykaenen and me met for a dinner VT meeting. After checking a few restaurants we decided to go to Fatal, where Nykaenen had already been before. Fatal is Hungarian for "wooden plate", which is what they usually place under your dish here. The restaurant is a bit touristy, but the Hungarian portions are big, tasty and affordable.

    Fatal Restaurant: Hungarian food
  • Tip Rating:
  • The restaurant is situated in the centre of the town in a very famous Vaci utca. Decorated in the traditional Hungarian wooden style it offers relaxed and pleasent atmosphere.

    First of all, the portions are very huge and jummy. I've had pork medallions with mushrooms and potatoes. Of course, there was a lot of paprika taste in it so you'll have to drink something after having it. My suggestion, red wine goes perfectly with it.

    Fatal Restaurant: the porky dishes
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is a great place to eat if you are in the touristy Vaci Utca area. Very close to the Ferecink metro (blue line), close to the white bridge also,. It is necessary to make reservation - it is very busy place - the service is brisk and they also tell you the latest time you can stay at the dining table. As it was our day one dinner, we went early, jetlagged for some of us, so we went to the restaurant at 630pm - there were already many diners...tourist i presume. We sat down n had bread, and our drinks, the boys enjoyed the local beer,and we had freshly squeezed juices. We ordered 2 mushroom soup - it was thinned soup but robust flavour and lots of sliced mushrooms and also one very thinned down Hungarian goulash. The boys complained it was too thinned down. But it was emptied !!! we ordered one Hungarian platter which was a pile of fresh sliced onions, cucumber tomatoes and other greens and it came with sliced pork, sausages, cold cuts etc. And we had one crispy pork which came with loads of shredded lasagne sheets, and another baked pork with like German speztles with bacon and lots of fried musrhooms. Tell you - it was so huge the serving we could have done one main meal less. no room for dessert!!! which looked awesome. we walked back to our apartment hotel in a jiffy...
