Yummm! What a little Jewell the food was amazing! Definitely we are coming back.
Very tasty food and great service. I tried the meatball soup and the fish and both very large portions and tasty dishes
Nice place but largely forgettable. Jewish degustation menu was bland.
Très bon restaurant ! La nourriture est très bonne et le service est bien.
Best Saint Valentine day of ever! Many thanks to the staff and the chefs!!! The red rose from the staff for my girl friend was an amazing surprise
Great restaurant we had a really good time!
A bit too expensive by Hungarian standards but perfect otherwise.
Great food, great service ... totally recommend!!!
Tres bien, une seule point négatif c’est que l’ on ne pouvait pas payer par cb soit disant l’appareil est en panne (a voir).
Sinon bonne adresse, surtout le menu jewish avec les vins associés à chaque plat.
Great food, great service and a quiet atmosphere. I go there often. Thank you very much.
The food, service, and ambiance were perfect! I'll definitely dine here again when I return to Budapest.
Ottimo cibo ebraico-ungherese (pate' di fegato d'oca delicato, petto d'anatra con fegatini buonissimo, buono il cholent, chiusura in bellezza con flodni e tokai aszu'). Servizio gentile e veloce. Prezzi ragionevoli
A perfect meal for our last night in Budapest. The venison was done to perfection. Great service. Beautiful dining room.
It was truly wonderful experience, fantastic food, live music, amazing service. Definitely worth Michelin.
Excellent Hungarian food
Great decor. Shame that they had run out of chicken paprikas
Amazing food and outstanding service!!! Would definitely recommend and re-visit.
Delicious food, very friends staff and cosy ambiente!
absolut gem in the city center
Very nice restaurant. We had the vegetarian tasting menu with wine pairing and it was absolutely delicious and well balanced. Definitely recommend.
Food was stunning and generous portions. Enjoyed the traditional style food and drink. Even though it was busy, service and atmosphere was good.
Good was OK.
Presentation was better than the taste. Nothing spectacular. You're paying for the fancy decor
Nice place in the Jewish area, good ambiance, good food, good service. Noise level a little bit too low and some problems at payment because cards were not working (but we were advised when we arrived). Recommended
Simply outstanding!
The cherry on the cake is the live band performing great atmosphere music
Very Nice food and the waiter was professional but not very friendly
The food was good but not exceptional though the wins were amazing. Good service. The price is pretty expensive for what you get and for the place.
Nice restaurant, in the Jewish area of Budapest. Nice atmosphere, even if the noise level was high (but mainly because of some big tables with noisy people). Service was polite and accurate. Food was good (even if we did not take some of the elaborated dishes in the menu) and presentation was OK. If I have to make a remark, probably wine price was a little bit over Budapest standards, and without a lot of local offers. Also dishes were little bit over-priced, but the level is OK. Worth a visit.
Too expensive for overall food quality with respect to surrounding places.
We have been going to Macesz with family for many years and I have been always recommending it to my friends who were visiting Hungary from abroad. The last time I was here with my husband in June and we loved the food. Then for some month we didn’t go. We visited it again at the end of October with the whole family and we were very much disappointed: they changed the menu many nice things were taken out, the portions become smaller for the same price, the bread basket that once contained at least 4 kinds of amazing bread had some thin slices of stale bread inside... the list could go on but I will stop here. Overall a very disappointing experience. We won’t be back again. Please bring back the previous chef, he was great!
we come to this restaurant every since for the last 5 years. it is always very good. This time however, we had booked via opentable and 30mn before they cancelled the booking. We still decided to go and the girl explained that she wanted to let us know that the table would only be free at 9pm. So all in all no issue but quite weird the way they handled the booking.
Amazing Venison meat!
A bit expensive though.
The wine was incredible as well!
For a long time I did not feel so deceived in a Restaurant, deceived with wine, the service, if it is for me, that no one goes.
It used to be great. Turned into a tourist place to make money.
Simply perfect for everything. We enjoyed this place and will return for sure
A great evening with wonderful food that made me nostalgic for my childhood. The service was a little slow, cold and abrupt to start off with but ended well. Overall good excperience.
Starters were excellent, mains less good. Main issue was with the bill at the end. We were presented with a VAT summary rather than the itemised bill. When we asked the waiter if service was included and to see the itemised bill he was displeased. The itemised bill was eventually found for us screwed up by the till. Service was included in the total we had been given.
Very good restaurant in the middle of the Pest side and around the corner from good nightlife. The service was amazing, thanks to the waiter for helping out with the wine choice and making us feel so comfortable. Food was really nice asit was good to try some good Hungarian cuisine. Thanks Macesz Bristo
The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable .
The food was delicious!
Terrific traditional Hungarian restaurant with excellent food.
Every single course with the matching wine pairing was perfect. The service and food was the best we have experienced throughout the 5 years we have been coming back to Budapest. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to have an amazing meal for a special occasion or just somewhere to have exceptional food in a relaxed environment.
The aircon was too much but turned down when we asked. Two very loud groups made impossible to talk to each other.
