Baltazar Grill, Budapest

Baltazar Grill, Budapest

Baltazar hotel is a funky, Buda establishment, a stone throw away from the iconic Matthias Church in Budapest. The decor is uber modern yet retro. The Baltazar Grill has a rather trendy, cool vibe. In the peak of the summer, al fresco dining is a great pleasure. Overlooking a church, hearing the bells chime at random hours reminds you of the history that surrounds you.

IMG_9713The menu is full of sharing platters and grilled meats cooked on the famous Spanish Josper Grill. The servers are rather charismatic and charming.

With a new found love for Burrata it was treat to have this served as a Caprese style salad. Burrata is an indulgent mozzarella filled with cream. It is light but satisfying when served with fresh basil and tomatoes and peppery rocket.

IMG_9716The truffle French fries are rather pungent, topped with shavings of truffle.

IMG_9725The burger is pretty darn good. Layered high with lettuce, tomato and brimming full of cheese, with homemade sauces seeping out, it’s fully loaded and is mouth-wateringly good.

IMG_9724The grilled leg of chicken with crispy skin with dashings of rock salt is tender and succulent.

IMG_9719The portions are rather generous and we will have to go back to try their desserts. All in all Baltazar is a great spot for dinner in Budapest. It’s quirky and would be ideal for a small group of friends celebrating a birthday.
