Best meal we had in Budapest. Beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating. Service was very quick. Food was beautifully plated, generous portion, reasonable pricing and tasty. Recommend the duck leg with pumpkin risotto and garlic cream soup with langos (although langos was oily and bit too doughy ). The meat in the goulash with spaetzle was a bit dry. The honey mustard pork chop meat was also dry. Overall a lovely meal.

We spent a very nice evening here. The service and atmosphere is great! My friend thinks that his dish was very average, I loved my duck liver, perfectly cooked, although mushed potatoes were disappointing: I understand that using a blender is easier to achieve smooth texture results but the texture changes as well. All chefs know that. All in all I would visit this restaurant again.

We had a wonderful dinner at Menza, which offers a great blend of tasty food and a modern, fancy-casual atmosphere. It’s clearly a popular spot, and for good reason, but my number one tip is to book a table in advance! We saw a queue forming at the entrance, and having a reservation meant we could walk straight in. ​The menu is very tourist-friendly, offering a QR code on the table that brings up the menu in six different languages. The prices were quite reasonable for the quality and the location. ​For our meal, we tried a mix of classic and contemporary dishes: ​The Hungarian Beef Stew (Marhapörkölt) was delicious and a perfect taste of local cuisine. ​The Menza Burger was very tasty, but be prepared for a bit of a mess – it was a little unstable and tended to fall apart while eating. ​The house Menza draft beer was served perfectly cold and was excellent. ​We finished with the cheesecake, which was also very good. ​The service was generally positive; the staff were nice and helpful, though they seemed a bit rushed, which is understandable given how busy the restaurant was. ​Overall, I'd give Menza a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a fantastic choice for a lively dinner in Budapest, offering great food in a stylish setting. Just make sure you book ahead to avoid a wait.

We came here for lunch, without any reservation. It was a bit crowded so we waited for around 20 minutes until there was a table available for us. It was worth it! The food was fresh and delicious, huge portions and tasty! The staff is vrey friendly, always with a smile on their face and the ambiance is cozy. Would reccomend. Oh and we got free cookies at the end. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful experience at Menza in Budapest. The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, the food was both delicious and beautifully presented, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Our waiter, Mika, made the evening extra special – he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. You can really tell he cares about his guests having a great time. We will definitely come back the next time we’re in Budapest and highly recommend Menza – especially if you’re lucky enough to have Mika as your waiter. Greetings from Denmark, Emilie & Bettina 🇩🇰
