Párisi Udvar - Párisi Udvar

Good experience, In the previous reviews I read that waitresses weren't so nice. In my case it wasn't true cause they were. Prices are high.

This place existed in Budapest more than a hundred years ago, and it was called "Parizsi Passage". Then it went into decay for tens of years, until it ended in the hands of some people with relations, was renovated and reopened to the public. So far so good. I just wanted to highlight 2 things: one, that this place is in the cultural heritage of the city, of which the current owners take advantage, and secondly, that it remains a "passage". Now to the point: we visited this place after it was reopened, few years ago, and already enjoyed here the expensive coffee and cake, and the somehow lacking service for the prices (as highlighted by other reviews). However, today we were in the area, having already had a place booked for lunch. What we wanted was to just cross the "passage" and briefly enjoy the beauty of this place, from architectural point of view. Well, surprisingly, the security guy at the door did not allow us to do this, conditioning our entry to the place by seating and consuming something. We turned around and left. On this occasion, I'd like to signal to the owners that this is an abuse: the own the bloody hotel, but in principle they do not own "the passage". Moreover, I think it is customary even in a restaurant/coffee place to be allowed to peak inside before deciding whether you want to sit or not there. You may even want to look at the menu before deciding to stay or not. This was not the case here, where the overly zealous security guard blocked our entry (and vision) with his body. I was appalled. I have visited gorgeous passages in Milan, Paris, Istanbul, Bucharest, Prague I visited beautiful architectural gems in other capital cities (hotels, churches, restaurants), and nowhere the security guards were literally blocking the doors, not letting me enter to see anything "unless we buy something". Needless to say, the place was quasi empty, as I could see. Also, just in case, we are not homeless or looking dangerous or smelling of alcohol. In any case, we moved on and went over to our preset lunch destination, a few streets away. But once again, I find this behavior and this treatment appalling and unacceptable, by any standards.

Amazing restaurant, good food and magic classic environment

Absolutley stunning café!!! We had afternoon tea there and enjoyed every single moment. Staff is very professional and kind.

Just sitting and enjoying the architecture of the brasserie is enough to make your day but you can have anything for your taste buds.

stunning architecture, very friendly and polite staff, delicious treats for reasonable prices. could spend a day just sitting there, enjoying the atmosphere.

Breathtaking place. I had good service. They didn’t have a cosmopolitan in the menu but they made me one. Although it’s VERY expensive. Will I go back? Not really but everyone should visit atleast once to see how beautiful the architecture is indoors

Every time a friend visits me, I take them there and they are pleasantly surprised, and the place quickly becomes their favorite spot in Budapest. It's an excellent location for any type of meeting (work, date). I wouldn't recommend it for larger groups of more than ten people.
