First off, the service was top notch, The ambience, the food, is perfect. My favorite was the salmon with asparagus and the beautiful cakes. I had no idea that the Hungarian sparkling wine so fine WOW. Everything was the correct temperature and so tasty. The wonderful friendly staff did their utmost to make our brunch experience perfect! Thank you More

Regardless of your views on such a ugly building being built in such a beautiful location I must admit the views from the restaurant where fantastic, over the Danube and parliament. We visited midweek and got a window seat. The restaurant was quite but this didn't effect our experience. The menu was creative but still filling enough to replenish the... More

We were lucky enough to be invited by our "local" friends to have brunch at Icon. It was gorgeous Autumn day, and well, the view from the Castle/Hilton just CANNOT be beat! But the best part? The endless flow of wine! We started out "sparkling" and then tasted a myriad of Reds, Rosés and Whites that tickled our tongues and... More
