    Fatal Restaurant: It's o.k. to walk out!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Good: the food & portions. See other reviews.

    Bad: Pushy & they cheat both tourists & Hungarians.

    We have visited Budapest once a year (or more) for the last 8-9 years. Our host has always taken us (at least once/year) to Fatal. On more than one occassion, and admittedly after palinka, beer and wine, our host, a native Budapestian from the university (read: not easily pushed around) has received a check that was absolutely incorrect.

    This past week my husband and I (pretty savvy to tourist trap stuff) entered, asked for smoking section, were told they would only serve us if we were out by 9pm (it was about 7). O.k.-- the food is worth it. Then were told we could not order just one very large entry, we could not order soup and a very large antry (even though we had already placed a drink order of some size).

    "The head waiter will not allow me to serve you unless you order more."

    Guess what? We know other great restaruants.

    DO NOT BE AFRAID TO JUST GET UP AND WALK OUT! The folk you are passing on your way out may wish they had done the same when they see their inflated bill.

    Do not be fooled by the seemingly cheap prices if you are a novice to the Vaci area restaurant practices.

    Fatal Restaurant: Feeling hungry?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Very, very, very local food. Not the cheapest, though. But considering the size of the portions...Phew. Maybe they have doggy bags? (I should have asked, I would have had food for a week left!)

    My hungarian friend took me there one night and we literally rolled out of there. Thank's, Ibi! Delicious!

    For starters: Vetrece leves. It's some kind of chicken soup, absolutely delicious. But what makes it special is that it's served in a big round loaf of bread! Yes, the bread is the 'plate'. So you can also finish the plate. I guess it was invented on a night when the dishwasher was broken sometime in the 13th century;)

    Then, make your pick: beef, pork, chicken, some fish. Yep, ofcourse they have brain on the menu. But beware! The portions are HUUUUGE! So save some room for dessert. They have better Gundel pancake than Gundel...

    Fatal Restaurant: Don't Miss It
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I’ve read a lot about this restaurant on VT so I started to think that it is a spoiled, over-touristy place. On the day we first strolled around by ourselves, we got tired. I’ve seen its sign and thought “Why not?” And I realized how wrong my prejudice was.
    When we opened the door, we saw stairs going down. The restaurant was located in a cellar. It was a warm, cute and nice place. The soft light makes the place relaxing.
    Waiters were not very helpful, but not very insistent, neither.
    We had a delicious meal and a good rest there. Their portions were huge, I couldn’t finish my goulash. We wanted a winter salad and realized that it was only pickled pepper. (In my country, a winter salad contains fresh winter vegetables as carrot, radish, lettuce…)
    I definitely recommend Fatal Restaurant.

    Goulash

    Fatal Restaurant: Really nice food in a unbeatable price!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Located at the back of Vaci Utca. Very nice restaurant with huge portion. A massive main course would cost you only £5. House wine was about £8. Really nice though. Highly recommend!

    Fatal Restaurant: Delicious and huge dishes!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • If you are so hungry and want to have an experience of Hungarian kitchen, go directly to Fatal. We did so!

    I was so curious with my two friends about Hungarian cousine and I can say I was enough full while leaving from Fatal. They have amazingly huge plates. Although I thought I can't finish my meal, there was nothing left:)

    And also I should add that the price is highly convenient for students or limited-budget travelers.

    I had heard the main dish of Hungary was "goulash". In Fatal, I tried it. It was delicious, spicy tasty, and huge:)

    I also ordered cucamber salad with yogurt, however there was sugar on yogurt, I didn't like it so much...

    Fatal Restaurant: GREAT FOOD
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This restaurant called Fatal is great. It has a great (and easy to find) location, great food with many typical Hungarian specialties, good prices, the portions are huge, and the atmosphere is nice! The Gulash soup is great. I had the pork with potatoes and everybody at the table wanted to eat my food. The Schnitzel is so big it looks like a pizza. Definitely a great place to go.

    The restaurant is located in a little side street of the pedestrian shopping street which is known as Vaci Utca. So if you want to find the restaurant, walk the section of the pedestrian street between the Elizabeth Bridge and the Freedom Bridge and look for the sign on the street for Fatal, ad you will find it no problem.

    Fatal Restaurant: It is called Fatal Restaurant....
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is called Fatal Restaurant. Read below for the location.
    First of all, you must make reservations if you have any hope of getting in. Once your in there, the place is usually packed, all the tables are wood, some are so large that you sometimes share with strangers. Pretty cool, since we got to chat with other travellers. The portions are massive! They are definitely photo worthy. Don't get an appetiser, but it's big enough for a meal!

    We went there twice and it was really good both times, but once I had the duck, and it was sooo tasty!!
