Budapest Restaurant - Toronto, Ontario

My favourite restaurant. My mother, the real Hungarian will tell you that you can’t get better in Hungary. 🇭🇺 Photos include Parisian schnitzel (the best), Hunter’s schnitzel (with sauce), cabbage rolls and plum dumplings (awesome). The food is better even than shown in the photos.

If you looking to experience true Hungarian cuisine this is the place for you. We had the wooden platter for two which was perfectly prepared and authentic. Goulash soup was phenomenal along with the cheese cake and Dobos cake for dessert. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back. The young man ... who served us was very kind and attentive. Read more

This is a long established restaurant in the east end of Toronto that specializes in Hungarian cuisine. I have both dined in and ordered take out here a multitude of times over the years. Each time my meal was fresh, delicious and generous in portion size. In particular, the Weiner ... schnitzel and beef goulash (stew) are wonderful. The service staff is courteous and efficient. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor (summertime) seating. The bathroom facilities were well maintained. There is metered street parking available along the Danforth. I will continue to dine here when craving Hungarian specialties. Read more

Our first time dine in due to our go-to schnitzel place had closed down after the pandemic Ordered Goulash soup as a starter, full of taste. Then the chicken Hunter schnitzel was so delicious, and an apple strudel to end the meal. All satiated and satisfying 6pm prompt the live music started, ... it’s a one man band but it’s an icing on the cake. The interior is aged and the ambience is out of time, but it doesn’t reduce it’s a pleasant dining experience (They serve breakfast too, but it was an OK quality, nothing special) Read more

My wife and I came here for dinner to enjoy some Hungarian food. As I have a half Hungarian background she was very interested in trying the kind of food my mother and grandmother would make when I was younger. I hate to say it….. It was a very mixed ... bag. The restaurant itself was nice and had nice big windows letting in a lot of natural light. The overall décor was not subtle about letting you know that this place was a Hungarian Restaurant, but not in a tacky way. They even had a gentleman on a keyboard playing music which was very nice. The staff was nice and friendly and never once made us feel anything else but welcome and comfortable. We got some starters and my wife got some Perogies & Sausage with sautéed onions, sour cream, and coleslaw topped with half debreceni sausage and it was great. The perogies were cooked well and tasted great and the sausage was full of flavor, so very satisfying. I had the cold cherry soup, something that I used to have on Christmas Eve dinner with my grandmother and I was very happy with the flavor. It was not exactly what my grandmother made, but it was great nevertheless. With how this all started, we were both really looking forward to the rest of the meal.... but ended up disappointed. My wife got the Wiener Schnitzel on a bed of rice and I got the Chicken Paprikash with Hungarian dumplings as that was a staple when I was growing up. The schnitzel was dry and breading had very little seasoning to it and the rice was bland, which was very surprising. This was something that my mother made from time to time and it was always full of flavor, especially the rice. The Paprikash was a very mixed bag. The dumplings were great and so was the sauce, but the chicken was dry and over cooked. It was like they took a few pieces of chicken from something else and just covered it in the sauce. I was expecting for the chicken to be full of flavor from cooking in the sauce and absorbing all that seasoning, not what I ended up getting. This place was overall a good experience and I hope we just showed up on a bad day, as this is definitely not how I want to introduce my wife to Hungarian food. But, we both agree that we will come and try this place again in the hopes of having a better meal. Read more
