Société Budapest - Société Budapest

Our family of ten had dinner at the Societe Bistro and Bar during our stay in Budapest. It is in a superb location just around the corner from the Basilica on Sas utca. I would highly recommend it either for tourists or for business lunch or dinner alike. We ate at a variety of restaurants during our weeklong stay either for lunch or dinner at every price point. I have to say that this restaurant was outstanding in every respect. Usually I do not like to go back to places, but this is an exception. The environment is very upscale yet not stuffy. The designers did a great job to create a modern, elegant space and keep the building’s historic charm at the same time. The rest of the building is just simply fantastic to have various events. There are lots of good casual restaurants and lots of elegant restaurants in Budapest where you can experience fine dining in a formal setting. The Societe Bistro provides fine dining in a less formal, yet super cool, modern but elegant space. The quality of food was excellent. We tried many things from the menu. They use lots of local ingredients that are really good in Hungary. (Mangalica pork, duck liver, mushrooms, goat cheese) Every dish is imaginative and beautifully presented. The mushroom soup was to die for. I also must mention the salmon appetiser. Amongst us we tried the chicken breast, hare, mangalica pork main courses and every one of us was happy with our choice. I highly recommend the plums, cinnamon, vanilla dessert. It is a modern version of grandma’s good old plum dumpling. The service was very attentive. They did a great job serving our large table. The wine recommendation was also excellent. Next time I would like to try out their cocktails. I also would like to mention the value. I found the prices very reasonable. I think this restaurant is a great addition to the Budapest dining scene. If I went to visit again, I would add it to my list of restaurants.

WOW, that's all what I can share from the experience. :) Highly recommended for food lovers.

An undiscovered diamond away from the crowds - fantastic food, beautiful decor, friendly staff - you could pay twice as much for something half as good. Highly recommended.

Amazing exhibition, decoration and curation. New place for you to explore art scene in Budapest

Wonderful restaurant, esqusite food and loving and caring service! Would recommend everybody to visit!

Perfect. Great quality food. If you like the quality of a good glass of wine and conversation around the table for several hours, this is the perfect place. You can just talk for hours while you slowly eat your dish. Recomended

Hidden gem in Budapest! Great fine dining experience, desserts are 5*!

One of our best degustation menu so far, even the portions were outsanding. Extra point for the wine guy who was really nice and helpful. Highly recommended!
