Szent Jupat, Budapest

Szent Jupat is a great place for a student with a little extra cash to go out for a meal, or a budget tourist. The menu item most worth trying is the "Bogracs Gulyas" not just bcause it's delicious and economic but sadly today in Budapest its hard to find a good gulyas soup. Outiside of the soup there are many dishes towering with meat and for good value however lately I believe the quality has gone down. As someone said earlier the menus are in english as well however every dish is named with a stlye like "Pork Medallions Hunter Style" underneath they don't write what hunterstyle, dubarry style or any of them mean so you have to ask the waiter what half the menu is and thats when you see the real Budapest serivice attitude, and if you try this in english not only will they become bothered but you will end up nodding and smiling pretending to understand them. Still if you are a tourist in town and not looking to go out anywhere fancy or a student then its still one of the first places I recommend. If you really want to save money they own a place next door with cheap breaded and fried foods where you can stand and eat but the prices are truly amazing. If you don't speak Hungarian or do and aren't extremely polite you will get a bit of attitude but it doesn't stop me from coming back. Jo Etvagyat!

VERY NICE GOULAS SOUP,BUT I EXPECTED THE FOOD WAS MUCH BETTER, SINCE I CHOSE THIS RESTAURANT BY THE REVIEWS I READ IN THIS SITE. ANYWAY, I SUPPOSE THAT THE DISHES WE SELECTED WERE NOT THE BEST CHOICE IN THIS RESTURANT..

This is one of THE most amazing restuarants in Budapest. My firsy visit to Hungary I wen tto the Szent Jupat. Wow its pretty. You gotta go there. Meat, meat, meat. And if ya don't like tartar sauce on yur salad. Tell em. I made that mistake. Have fun. It's a great place!

I spent 6 months in Budapest and ate there at least once a week. I'm looking for a recipe for Gulyas and I was hoping to find the one fom this restaurant.

I've been to this restaurant several times over the past ten-years. I don't think I have ever finished a meal because of the huge size of the portions. They have some of the best goulas soup that you can find. Try the Szent Jupat mixed grill for two or the Budapest beef tenderloin. The portions of fried cheese and fried mushrooms are gigantic! If you like sauces, try their special tarter sauce There will be someone working who speaks english, so language should not be a problem here. Menu's are listed in english and german as well as in Magyar for the language-challenged. Prices are very good on the entire menu--eating here need'nt break you financially.

I've been to Hungary several times and every time, I make sure to go to Szent Jupat's. Whenever I go with friends who have never been there before, the constant question is "when are we going to that place with the wooden plates again?" Never fails. Huge menu, all of it excellent. After ten or so trips, I still haven't ordered the same thing twice. Can't wait for my next trip so I can go there again. Short walk from Mozskva Ter metro station (Red line).

big portions, clean and lovely restaurant, informal and friendly. Massive menu of real hungarian food. One of my few positive budapest dining experiences.

Gorgeous restaurant, charming staff, fabulous value, good wine...loved it.

wooden tables, wooden plates, meat meat meat, and very cheap.
(remark: if you do not want tartar sauce on your salad, tell them!)
