This restaurant run by Tiago (Portuguese) and Eva (Hungarian) received its first Michelin star in 2021. L'Essência is located a few steps away from the Saint-Etienne basilica. The cuisine offered is a perfect blend of Portuguese and Hungarian flavors. The plates presented in a gastronomic way will be composed of a choice of octopus, asparagus and tuna, beef and vegetables... If you do not choose the tasting menu, you will then have as a dessert an orange pie, a "sponge cake"(pão de Ló)... Very good wine list, welcome and service.

A fine fine dining experience. The food is great, service is attentive (your water glass is always filled, your napkin gets folded when you go to the restroom) and knowledgeable (wine recommendations are well justified). Although it may be difficult, it would be good if dishes could be adapted to dietary restrictions.

One of the best places in Budapest at a great location. You can taste here local ingredients and dishes also. We really liked it so I can recommend this place as one of the best ones in Budapest.

This is a nice restaurant with two distinct options between Portuguese and Hungarian taking menus. We did the two tasting menus with wines from those countries, and overall, the dishes were delightful. The only dish we were not too impressed with was the cod that came with the Portuguese tasting menu. The sauce was delightful, but the fish itself was quite salty. The service was good as well, the waitress we had explained each dish nicely. There was one dish where we had a different server present the dish without much explanation. Overall, this is a nice place to check out if you want to explore some fine dining.
