Pastrami Étterem - Pastrami Étterem

The home made lemonades, with interesting flavours - my favorite was the orange/grapefruit/rosemary one - cold cucumber soup, cesar salad which is a simple but tasty one, the beef sandwitch and cream brulee is great. The restaurant had a peak season when the food was not the best, so we did not go there for a while, but now I would say, the restaurant improved the quality.

Check the bill! Unfortunately this place was a huge disappointment. First of all, it is highly overpriced (food is nice but I have had better meals in my life, I don't think the quality justifies the price), secondly, they charge 12% service fee which is completely unreasonable, never seen it in middle-class places in Budapest. On top of everything, we ordered a sandwich point at the small ad board place on our table which said it cost 1900 HUF. Then, to our biggest surprise, we got charged 3900 HUF (only for the sandwhich, which means more than 50% extra than what we were supposed to pay) and when I told the waiter that there was a mistake on the bill, he got confused started muttering that it was a mistake and the real price is 3900 HUF. He quickly returned with another menu from the bar where it did say the price was 3900 HUF. In a place, where the guest is charged 12% service fee, I expect that the waiter informs we when I order the meal (and clearly point at the board where it clearly states the the price of the sandwich is 1900 HUF) that the price is wrong and of course informs us about the real price. If he doesn't do that (let's say he doesn't notice the mistake), I expect that the waiter gives his apologies and quickly corrects the bill and charges as at the price advertised on the board we ordered our sandwich from. (Later of course he talks to management to correct their mistake). Instead of this, he just wanted to prove his truth and asked if we were OK as if we were best friends. Not to mention the lack of tomatoes and lettuce (as it was advertised on the small board) but we decided not to complain about it just because we didn't want to be demanding. In a professional place all these would never happen, especially not in a place where you are not allowed to decide how much tip you leave instead you are charge higher service fee - basically for nothing). I'm sorry but I cannot recommend this place and we'll definitely try to find another place in the future.

We loved the pulled pork with coleslaw sandwich! Amazing flavor!

First impression: chic and spacious with good lighting, very welcoming. Open kitchen, giving it a dynamic vibe. No place to hang your coats, so we had to use our (comfortable) chairs like high-schoolers in some fast-food joint. Service: prompt and friendly, although for some reason "a glass of wine" did not compute - you have to be specific how many deciliters you want. English menu available. Menu: eclectic, with some creative blending of international cuisine. No chef's special during our visit. Good selection of wine, some craft beers, cocktails, lemonades and such. Food: I ordered the burger. Uninspired and bland. There was no option how you'd like your barely seasoned patty, the bun was too dense and the fries were probably from a deep frozen variety with too much salt. The small "crate" in which the dish was served was actually really functional, a nice idea. I came for the food, so that's why the rating. Otherwise a cool place for drinks!

Good options of Italian food. Great services even for foreigners. Nice options for drinking with or without alcohol. The atmosphere there is very comfortable, the roof is high, and you have full vision of the kitchen.

A piece of New York in the middle of O-Buda. We love this place, even with friends or family. The place is children freindly, however our kids think they should take care of older children not only babies. We like the grill food and the pastrami as well. We would be happy if there would be more diabetic sodas.

We didn't want to go to a traditional Hungarian restaurant the last night of our stay in Budapest, so we picked this 'bistro' and it was a great choice. Pastimi is a hidden gem in Buda and perfect for families: it has a kids' corner with toys, so parents can enjoy their dinner while the kids play. You also need to check out their restrooms: everything is there to take care of kids. It was a very nice surprise. The menu is simple, they try to modernize traditional dishes. They cannot beat my mum's 'lecso', but apart from that I loved everything we ordered. They were also very good in reccommending vine to us. The service was quick, nice and available. The tip is included in the bill: a pinch of America. But the best is the place itself: original retro design with some courageous choices: take a look at the pics. Loved it!

The stuff was friendly and polite, the place is spacious although a bit "cold". We ordered the plates on the photo. Not bad but nothing exceptional. The burger was tasty but the potatoes a real disappointment and made the whole dish to result negative. They were full of salt (something that I saw in past reviews for the same dish;obviously they don't care) and they really reminded me Mcdonald's potatoes. The had menu in English and they spoke English as well ✅️ . The dish with the Hungarian pasta type and the chicken, was OK but again nothing special. My impression is that they really have to try more.
