Gettó Gulyás is the kind of place that reminds you why Hungarian food deserves a top spot in the world of comfort cuisine. tucked away in Budapest’s Jewish Quarter, it blends old-school charm with a lively, modern energy. we were a group of five, led by a local who practically considers this his second dining room, and we made it our mission to taste as much of the menu as possible.
The food? simply fantastic. the roasted bone marrow on toast was an indulgent, buttery dream. the veal stew and the classic goulash were everything you want from traditional Hungarian dishes - deep, rich flavors, slow-cooked to perfection. the chicken paprikash was like a warm hug, and the sausage selections were packed with smoky, spicy goodness. and for me personally, the standout was the potato soup... so flavorful and satisfying that I’m still thinking about it.
What really impressed us was how fast the dishes arrived, despite the clear effort and quality that went into them. this isn’t just some casual kitchen churning out plates - it’s a high-end operation where the chefs know exactly what they’re doing. and the waiters? absolute pros. they don’t just serve food- they treat it like a craft. they know the menu inside and out, make great recommendations, and somehow manage to keep things running smoothly even when the place is packed.
Speaking of which, this place does get packed. If you’re planning to come, do yourself a favor and book a table in advance. the warm lighting, rustic decor, and the comforting scent of paprika in the air make for an inviting atmosphere, perfect for long conversations over hearty meals.
All in all, Gettó Gulyás isn’t just a restaurant... it’s an experience. one that makes you want to come back again and again, just to try a little more of the menu each time.
