 | Budapest Gundel Reviews | Tips 11 - 16 of 16 |  |
Gundel is a serious European restaurant. Slightly old-fashioned, but with a hundred years of history behind it, that's forgivable. Their specialty is goose liver so fans of foie gras, especially those fleeing recent American bans on foie gras, can find plenty here to love.
Even if you are not a liver fan, Gundel has delightful soups, main dishes, desserts and wine. Musicians play gypsy style music and tuxedoed waiters cater to your needs. They will do their best to make your evening delightful.
But you will pay dearly for it. The bill for two people, including a glass of wine, appetizer, main course and dessert came to $165. I thought it was worth it for a once in a lifetime splurge at such a fabulous place, but I know it's not for everyone.
My favorite dish was a locely piece of beef tenderloin cooked rare with a piece of foie gras on top. Meat on meat is not unusual in a the former Austro-Hungarian empire. But Gundlel did it spectacularly.

Gundel restaurant is one of the most famous in Budapest. I didn't eat there, but I walked past. It is in the City Park close to the zoo.

We stopped by here for lunch after a morning spent at the zoo, but we weren't there for long. The servers pretty much completely ignored us (and the British couple at the table next to us who arrived just after we did) and after about 20-30 mins, we'd gotten as far as ordering drinks but had yet to see them. We managed to get a menu after the waiter set some menus on an empty table he was setting instead of giving them to two people who'd just sat down. The food was horribly expensive, but we never had any of it anyway. We walked out, since we'd gotten nothing so far, and had a wonderful lunch around the corner at Bagolyvár (The Owl's Castle).

Based upon all of the reviews we read, Gundel was billed as the premier place for fine dining in Budapest. It certainly lived up to expectations. Maybe it's because I'm from Houston and all our finest restaurants are Mexican food and steak restaurants, but this was by far the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. Everything about this restaurant was absolutely top notch. The ambiance, the food, the music, was all better than we could have ever hoped for. It was an extremely romantic evening.
Everyone raves about the Gundel pancake, but we were unfortunately too full to give it a try. We ordered the full prix fixe menu and really enjoyed the caviar.
