“ We had the most fantastic lunch/brunch at Rudas Bistro. The perfect plan for after the baths: refreshing drinks (best lemonade I’ve ever had), food was generous and delicious with so many options, and we topped it off with tea and wine. The service was wonderful and friendly. Would absolutely recommend this spot to add on for a relaxing and excellent day. We did the spa and lunch package on Viator and it was an incredible value. ”
“ Excellent food and service. We came for the spa and lunch deal on Viator. We would have eaten here without that deal. Hearty Hungarian food on a cold rainy day. Friendly staff and good view. ”
“ Where do I begin? We had a 3 course meal as part of our package with the spa and every meal was absolutely delicious!! From taste to presentation, I was impressed. Be sure to go with an empty as the food is really filling. Nora was an amazing waitress too! ”
“ Came here as a family treat and could not be more impressed! The service is brilliant, the spa is fabulous with spectacular views but the food... huge portions and really tasty! Highly recommend coming here ”
“ We had lunch here, the appetizer gazpacho soup which actually was a cold sweet tomato soup and didn’t come with cheesy crispy crusty bread but with two slices of regular baguette. On the main course the wiener snitzel was dry and too thin. The Rudas burger was good but served with some mayonnaise ready from the store. Dessert well presented but none of them edible. ”
“ a restaurant within bath facility. Excellent place for after bath. The view of Danube frontside is nice. Only few outdoor balcony places . The English speaking service is excellent . As usual in most restaurants of Budapest , always big quantity. ”
“ Having a 3-course meal at the bistro, you will absolutely NOT go hungry, in Hungary. Also, friendly and attentive servers. 10/10 recommend Rudas thermal baths, and 10/10 recommend Rudas bistro. ”
“ We found the perfect spot for dining outdoors on an elevated terrace overlooking the Danube River and downtown Budapest! Other than at the top of Castle Hill, we had a hard time finding outdoor spaces for dining with a nice view of the river. The patio here was shaded and provided the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing lunch with a spectacular view. The food was delicious and the service was the best we've had in Budapest. Our server Nori was wonderful, friendly, efficient and spoke perfect English. The restaurant is on the second level of Rudas Baths, a three story historic spa with baths dating back to 1550. While some guests of the baths were dining at the restaurant, the restaurant is open to everyone and has a modern decor and even an elevator. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy dining outdoors in Budapest with a spectacular view. They also have indoor dining with windows overlooking the river. We would love to come back here sometime for dinner and see everything lit up on the river. We will definitely be back! ”
