About the restaurant

The Black Swan's nest is hidden in ordinary surroundings, inside walls that look average. A little light filtered out onto the street from behind heavy velvet curtains shows you are heading in the right direction. Once inside you will witness a magical world in an art deco environment where special drinks and a passion for gastronomy create miracles!

About the restaurant

Autentikus görög bisztro, kortárs térben várja szeretettel a mediterrán életérzés és a görög gasztronómia kedvelőit.

A görög séfek vezette látványkonyhás bisztro hagyományos, sok esetben mégis újragondolt tengeri fogásokat és görög,hegyvidéki ételeket kínál.

A görög vendészeretet, a gondosan válogatott alapanyagok és a jó társaságban 'együtt' eltöltött idő a Mazi filozófiája.

Mely törekvés vezetett el az "AUTHENTIC GREEK CUISINE GOLDEN AWARDS 2022 - GREEK TASTE BEYOND BORDERS GTBB" elismeréshez.

The restaurants was more then perfect. I reserved there for my best friend'a birthday and it was the best Greek restaurant in the city! The guy who served us was so kind and help me a lot with all my allergies and my request for the birthday, also the chef was very kind and help me a lot to let me eat good and healthy for my allergy problem. We ordered all different dishes and everything was super good! I will sure reccommend them and when I'll be back in Budapest they will be for sure my first choice again! Thank you everyone!

About the restaurant

FARM TO TABLE – LITERALLY.
When we say farm to table, we mean it.

Because we have our own farm. And the love for it brought this restaurant to life. That is why we believe in Hungarian smallholders, local ingredients and enjoy the beauties of the countryside.

Our mission is to take along this feeling to the downtown of Budapest. But we also bring our passion for seasonal dishes and sustainability with us. To showcase local products in new and more contemporary way.

Welcome to TATI!

It's worth trying at least once in your life. Don't choose a food, which can be made by your mother too, because maybe her recipe fits better for you. This place is really good restaurant, if you are open for fresh and tasty plates, but don't expect cheap prices. The place, the staff, the food, the selection of drinks are perfect.

About the restaurant

Hello Budapest,
My name is Leo, Your Highness.
We haven’t met yet, but I finally have arrived to Budapest and I would like to let you in some secrets about me, just to make sure you will recognize me when the time will come. I have a very strong feeling about you and me spending this summer together.
So, who am I…
I am coming from a large and highly sophisticated family, but if I am honest I was always the black sheep around. Nothing serious - of course, I mean from my part. :P I am eager to swim against the flow and to do what others may not even dream or think of trying.
I love to travel, to get to know other cultures and people from all around the world. I love to eat…oh my God all those amazing flavors and colors of the world.
So, I highly recommend you not to leave me hanging and meet me at the top of Hotel Clark , where I can show you the most amazing view to our gorgeous city.
See you at my roof, Leo, Your Highness

Best place for dates. Service is super nice, so is the food and the drinks. View is cool, I like how there's a terrace, couches inside and outside, and the ambiance is perfect.
