Amazing food!! Highly recommend you eat here (book first maybe?). We had the schnitzel and a sample plate of lots of yummy Hungarian treats (goulash, latke with cevapcici, amazing beetroot dip, mushrooms with goat cheese and more). Also their desserts are yum!

And just like that, I have a new favourite. Where do I start ? Try the chicken soup, the shots, the spinach or mushroom sauce, the mushroom & cheese stuffed Parma or crumbed mushrooms (on a mushroom mission tonight) Big servings, most people could share. Hungarian food it's finest! "Nyamm Nyamm"

My wife and I have been dining at Budapest for many years and have always enjoyed the amazing food, drink and service. Given the fact it takes us over an hour to travel to the restaurant, I believe speaks volumes of how much we love the place. We will definitely be returning for many years to come!

Food at this bustling and constantly packed restaurant is wonderful. Good, tasty, authentic Hungarian food- so come with an appetite! The schnitzel I received was easily larger than my head, but so tasty I could have gone back for more.

As the restaurant isn’t that large, it does make it quite noisy because tables are packed in quite closely together; but it does have a great vibe and energy that’s suitable for friends and family gatherings.

Only downside to this restaurant was that the service wasn’t great; we did have to keep trying to get the waiters attention for things we shouldn’t have had to (getting menus, placing orders, ordering more drinks etc). So as long as you’re not coming here for a quick feed, this restaurant should deliver.

We recently went to a Hungarian restaurant in Elsternwick called Budapest Restaurant and Palinka Bar with Hello. Imnikki  and co. We had never tried Hungarian cuisine prior to this so it was a first for us which got us very excited!. To ensure we experienced the best of their dishes, we decided to order the Budapest Banquet which consisted of three courses. At $42 per head, it did not sound like a bad idea at all!

If you want excellent value for money and to stay full till the next day, I strongly suggest giving Budapest a go. Not only are the portion sizes very generous, but if you're dining in a group, as I did with One Piece Left and my friends, then the Budapest Banquet is sure to keep your tummy and wallet happy.

First up was the chicken soup or more commonly known as Jewish Penicillin, and what a soothing and heart bowl of soup this was. Tender chicken, soft matzo balls and such a flavourful broth. Also part of the first course was the chopped liver pate. Rich, creamy and well-rounded flavours, we obviously had to ask for more bread to make sure none of this went to waste.

The second course was a sight to behold. A big platter consisting of Hungarian goulash with nokedli, schnitzel, crumbed mushrooms, cevapcici and the fluffiest and dreamiest mashed potatoes ever. The goulash was incredible, almost as good as a home-cooked goulash. The deep robust flavours made the goulash go extremely well with the schnitzel and smoky cevapcici, and even better by itself with the pillowy soft nokedli. The lightly crumbed mushrooms stuffed with dilled goat's cheese was another winner - perfectly balanced in taste and a lovely contrasting mouthfeel that was both light yet dense.

For me, the schnitzel and cevapcici were overshadowed by the aforementioned delights. It was quite a heavy meal, but luckily the pickles and red cabbage helped balanced out all that meat and starch.

Last but not least was the apple strudel with either custard or ice cream, and while it was good, it was a bit of a lacklustre finish. The pastry as flaky as but the fillings a bit dry. Still this did not detract from what a great meal this was!

Thumbs up for the excellent and accommodating service too.

I hadn't visited Budapest Restaurant and Palinka Bar for about 7 years, so rediscovering this gem of a restaurant was an absolute delight!
Wine spritzers were previously something that was laughed at within my circle of friends, but after giving the red wine and cola spritz a try, I am now a fan! The Hugo elderflower cocktail was so refreshing!
The schnitzels were out of this world! The portions were very generous, and there was alot of variety in the type of schnitzel offered on the menu. The crumb was perfectly light and crunchy, without being overly oily. I really enjoyed the Hungarian paprika sauce with the Hungarian style schnitzel which was stuffed with csabai smoked sausage and cheddar. The crumbed mushrooms with csiki sauce was incredibly delicious. The apple and walnut strudel was nice, but not as impressive as the rest of the meal.
Can't wait to return for some more schnitzels!

I went there with my Mum last night and I had the Chicken Parmigiana and Potatoes and Spinach with a Raspberry Lemonade and my Mum had the Chicken Liver and Salad with a glass of Water. I had a Lemon and Sugar Pancake for Dessert, which was delicious. The staff were kind to us and the service was terrific.

Came here on Sunday for lunch today. I had creamed spinach and crumbed mushrooms. Others had the crumbed veal and mashed potato and barramundi and salad. We also had potato latkes with sour cream. Very nice food, generous servings and quick service. We were too full but would like to try the crepes for dessert.

My advice is try this place on a very empty stomach. Not only are the servings generous as one would expect from Hungarian, but also the food is rich. I ordered an old favorite which was the roast duck with sauerkraut and it was as good as I remembered and the goulash that my husband ordered was delicious too.

The waiters are also very enthusiastic about the food and really like ensure their patrons are happy. So let them recommend for you if your confused as the menu is quite big. (Note the theme).

But my favourite by far was their special. Apple and walnut strudel. This took me by surprise as it was freshly made including the filo. It may not be much to look at as far as planting goes, but seriously I was left speechless. I have not eaten strudel like this in decades. Yes decades! It transported me back to being a little girl watching my grandmother make it (I could never make it I just don't have her pastry hands it seems). I miss my grandmother so much and this nearly made me cry just from the memory and experience. I want to go back just for that alone. The best strudel easily by far I have had since I was little. Thank you, thank you so much for giving me that memory again. I will return!

Budapest Restaurant and Palinka Bar is a Hungarian restaurant located in the heart of Elsternwick near the Classic Theatre which makes it a great spot for a meal before or after the movies. Budapest is an institution that’s been there forever!
I came here with my family on a Wednesday night and we were greeted by a very friendly staff member who showed us to our table. We didn’t have a reservation and it seemed as though we didn’t need one as the place was surprisingly empty! We did get there on the later side so maybe it was busy earlier?
The menu is huge and it’s hard to know what to choose. They are known for their goulash and schnitzels so that’s a good place to start or you can choose the set Banquet meal. There are also many sides that you can add to your meal as well. 
We ordered the Grandma’s Chicken Soup which is a chicken broth with boneless chicken pieces, vegetables, matza dumplings and Polish noodles. We also ordered the Goulash soup which is a traditional hearty Hungarian beef and vegetable soup that comes with Farmer’s Rye or Gluten Free bread. The soups were wholesome and definitely ‘hearty’ large serves. I loved the ingredients that were included in the soup, there was lots of flavour in both soups but for me, I found them a bit on the cold side. Soup needs to be hot!
For our main courses, we ordered the Porterhouse Steak, Roast Duck and Veal Schnitzel. We also ordered the Crumbed Mushrooms to share. On the whole, the food was very tasty and enjoyable. The schnitzels are massive and almost falling off the plate. The potatoes were the highlight of all our dishes. The duck was cooked beautifully. With a crispy skin, it was succulent and tender and came with a delightful beetroot cabbage slaw on the side. Unfortunately, I found the steak and potatoes to be cold and had to send them back! Disappointing.
For dessert, we had the chocolate sundae and the strawberry crepes. Both great dishes to finish off our meal. 
There are lots of things happening at the Budapest. There is a Happy Hour option every night – extended to 3 hours on Thursday nights (2 sittings) with prices dropped to half on a limited menu. There is also live music once a month, gift vouchers are offered and the complete menu is available for takeaway with Uber Eats, Foodora and Deliveroo all delivering. On the Palinka Bar side of things there is a huge range of Palinka’s, imported fruit brandies, local and imported beers, wines and spirits. 
This is authentic Hungarian fare at it’s very best in a relaxed, friendly and casual atmosphere. Highly recommend but go there hungry (excuse the pun!).

I have been here many times and all i can say is it's my favourite place in Melbourne for schnitzel. I usually go for the veal but on this occasion chose the giant wiener schnitzel, man this was a beast of a thing when it arrived, would not be out of place at dinner time with the Flintstones. It was nice but not as good as the veal as i found it a tad dry. What i do enjoy are the peasant potatoes which are a Hungarian spin on the potato salad but way better and the Csiki Beetroot Apple sauce, this sauce if an absolute star and its tang is the perfect accompaniment to the schnitzel. Also try the sour cherry juice as it's good.

Not very often that you come across Hungarian restaurant. We can't resist to try it whilst waiting for our movie. Ordered their meat lovers parma and was really happy with it. The meat was tender and the sauce complements the food well. It is a little pricey but I would still recommend it.

Very good schnitzels. The traditional veal was large but beautifully prepared (thin and tender) and cooked to perfection. A large range of other Hungarian specialties to choose from. All the food was good. Bill for 6 people was $380 including a couple of bottles of wine and a few beers. Good value. Note BYOW not allowed on weekends.

I really enjoyed this little gem of a restaurant. My partner and I decided to dine here on a whim on a casual Friday night. The flavours brought back memories of travels throughout eastern Europe and the comforting nature of my grandmother's cooking. We started with 3 shots of an assortment of the fruit palinka (brandy). The flavours were plum, sour cherry and grape. It was fun to sample these. Be warned though, they are strong. For the main I ordered the Budapest Eye Fillet Stroganoff: tender beef strips in a creamy sauce mixed with smoky bacon bits with a side of mash potato. It was utterly delicious. Comfort food at its best. I enjoyed it with a glass of the full bodied red, 'Bulls Blood', a Hungarian wine. To top it off, my partner and I enjoyed a classic chocolate sundae. The refreshing vanilla ice-cream doused in rich chocolate syrup sprinkled with nuts was a perfect end to the meal. The service was excellent.

Elsternwick has a healthy selection of both Eastern and Central European restaurants up and down the strip which offer some of the best comfort food around. Budapest is no exception. The veal mince crepes were sensational as were the livers and onions and the cherry crepes for dessert capped off a lovely evening. This was the perfect place to come on a cold Melbourne night.

So it was a matter of time until I made it back to Budapest to sample more of the menu. I decided that I had to try one of their famous schnitzels. I ordered one stuffed with ham and onion. My partner ordered the goulash and we were going to share both dishes. Even though the goulash was FANTASTIC, I couldn't bring myself to part with half of my schnitzel so I reneged. So we exchanged a taste each but nothing more. Our friend ordered the Wiener schnitzel which was HUGE but crispy and thin and most importantly -- like my stuffed schnitzel -- dry on the outside, moist on the inside. Seriously how can something as simple as a schnitzel be so good!?!?

Also I was surprised at lively the place was for a cold and wet Tuesday night. This restaurant certainly has a lovely energy and if it's a sample of the real Budapest, I must visit.

Great job again! You've won me over!

"My house in Budapest, my hidden treasure chest" and a hidden treasure this is. After living in the area for sometime I hadn't ever visited here and what a regret that is now. We came here tonight for the schnitzel night, $16 gets you a schnit with a side of mash or salad. I chose the chicken schnitzel and as you can see by the pic I was fortunate enough to get 4 pieces. Each was beautifully cooked, not dry at all and super crisp. Accompanied by the paprika sauce which took a little to adjust too but was very tasty. The mash was also great. A very hearty feed and we definitely got our money's worth.

Our favourite dish of the evening was the Hungarian Beef Goulash which was packed chock full of flavour. The spicy goulash soup was hearty, the chunky cubes of beef were tender and well-seasoned courtesy of being slow cooked for 6 hours and seasones with onion, tomato, capsicum, Hungarian sweet paprika.

Budapest Palinka is unquestionably and deservedly an Elsternwick institution.
The menu is chock full of comfort food sure to please even the most fussy of Hungarian loving pallets, but I visit for one thing only, the Wiener Schnitzel.
These schnitzels are a sight to behold, so large they deserve their own postcode. As somewhat of a Wiener schnitzel fanatic I can comfortably vouch that these schnitzels are in the top two in Australia; the only real competition being Twenty One in Double Bay, Sydney - another iconic institution. Now others may disagree with this pedestal upon which I place these tasty feasts but we're not talking new age panko crumbed pub grub here, nor is this designed to appeal to folk who frustratingly pronounce schnitzel as 'snitzel'. This is old world European continental cooking at its best.
Pair it with a side of the luxuriously silky creamed spinach and you'll be rolling out the door a very satisfied punter.
Take advantage of the happy hour deals for even better value.
Thank you Budapest Palinka for all the tasty meals you've given me. And thanks in advance for the many more to come.

Thursday night is a great time to get on down to Budapest on Glen Huntly Rd  and sample a rustic goulash or one of their plate filling schnitzels. And by plate filling I mean a big plate, over flowing with schnitzel goodness, served with a side peasant potatoes. They have a special “happy hour” menu all night on Thursday where you can get cheap beer and $16 schnitzels and goulash. Great value, and I can report that I have put away a schnitzel or three over the past few years that I’ve lived just down the road from this fine establishment. Their schnitzels are pretty good – however, you need to get a sauce with them as they can be a little dry otherwise. I really like the nokedli (little flour and egg dumplings smothered in butter and salt and served with a side of paprika sauce – If you know Spätzle, then it’s essentially same thing from a deffernt region with a different name…), but you can only get a salad or peasant potatoes with the

Ah, Budapest! What memories...right up there as one of my top 10 favourite cities in the world, a restaurant named in its honour and serving up Hungarian cuisine was sure to grab my attention. I've now dined here twice. And you know you've come to the right place when the whole table behind you is speaking Hungarian... As an entrée before my review, let me share one of my many travel photos of Budapest the magnificent city, in all its free-spirited glory: Anyway, on to Budapest the restaurant and what it has in store for vegicureans. Huge portions, for one, are not just reserved for meat-eaters at this place! And the good news is, they've taken specific care to include vegetarian options in most sections of the menu. By the way, please excuse the photos - the restaurant lighting made it really tough to get better photos. We started with a round of drinks: apple pálinka for my friends, and imported Hungarian peach juice for me. Good peach juice is one thing I really miss about Europe! K

This place is awesome. I don't understand why the bad reviews? I guess the people who wrote them are all cheapo groupon customers who have no idea about good food! I am Hungarian and I like to believe I know what authentic Hungarian food tastes like. Every meal I have here makes me want to cry it's so real and tasty. In fact tonight my meal was so delicious, I said I was happy to die right there on the spot. Great selection of Pàlinkas as well, although I've never been a big fan of pálinka, it tends to have the after taste of dirty windowsills.
But keep up the good work!

Have been recommending to everyone. My uncles partner has been telling me to try this place for several years now and after finally trying it I can see why. Absolutely loved this place. The food was fantastic and service impeccable and now I am telling everyone to go. The goulash was melt in the mouth deliciously soft and flavoursome. The giant wiener schnitzel was exactly that. It was huge! I struggled to get through half and not by lack of trying. I can't wait to go back and try more on the menu and also the cocktails which sounded fantastic. This restaurant was great value for money and with the many weekday specials I can see myself going back many more times.

Never go hungry. I was very happy to try this real hungarian food. i was surprised with decent serving size and great service. weekend little bit was rush because they have two floor restaurant and it's hard to serve for large no. of people one time. i really like this place because never left hungry from hungarian restaurant called budapest restaurant.
"palinka must try " who loves fruity little bit sweet aged brandy and giant schnitzels.

Found this wonderful restaurant thought we would give it a go seeing I am from Hungarian background. I had the beef goulash it was delicious a lot of flavor and the meat was so tender, it was just like my mum made it, so it made me think of home. Dessert was Nutella crepe with ice cream & cream.. Again delicious. I loved the generous portions so worth the money we paid. I had the Apricot Palinka was beautiful.The staff were polite & Hungarian which really makes it authentic. I will be back hopefully on the first Tuesday of next month as they have live Hungarian music the first Tuesday of the month. Would recommend this place . Loved it.

Great hungarian food ever i had. I have been before many times similar hungarian restaurant but out of it this is the best authentic hungarian restaurant ever i had, i was suprised by seeing that many people are complaining about price but as far i concern this price is just good as per generous size.
i had goulash as a main course and my partner had chicken schnitzels which was quite big serve then i expected and was very tasty too and all of it service was great which you need for good dining restaurant.

Authentic Hungarian Food!. I was really amazed, because it took me back to my childhood in Hungary, the Goulash reminded me of my Grandma used to cook for me.
Thanks very much for the great service and the great food! :)

Sensational. 12 of us went down for a Sunday night dinner on e promise of great goulash and Dreher beer. Well......absolutely spot on. The goulash was a hit but the cabbage rolls were even better. The stuffed mushrooms entre was a winner as were the sausages. But to have one of the worlds great beers...Dreher....available was icing on the top. Great service, wonderful atmosphere and an all round top night. We will be back for sure.
