What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Market 1897 is highly praised for its exceptional contemporary Hungarian cuisine and extensive selection of Hungarian wines. Diners love the cozy yet stylish ambiance and attentive, friendly service. While the location is slightly off the beaten path, it's considered a hidden gem. Some minor issues, like an occasional fish dish with too many bones, have been noted but do not detract from the overall excellent dining experience.
"We found this place at the very last minute, and didn’t expect much from this restaurant, but they for sure amazed us. The food was one of our favorite during the trip. Everything was great, well made and served well! If we come back to Budapest again, we will come back for sure."

"We had lunch at Borbíróság the day after New Year’s Day. The place was open and welcoming despite the holiday. The atmosphere was calm, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. We ordered a variety of Hungarian dishes, all well-prepared and served at the right temperature. The wine list was extensive, and the staff gave good recommendations. Portions were balanced, and we appreciated the straightforward presentation. The location is convenient, close to the market hall. It was a quiet and pleasant meal, just what we needed after the New Year celebrations."

The Best Restaurants In District IX Budapest
While this wine bar is tucked away behind the Great Market Hall, it doesn’t suffer from its inconspicuous location. Borbíróság’s popularity comes from its numerous wines, but the food – which features fresh ingredients from the nearby market – deserves just as much acknowledgement. It’s presented with precision and offers a good range of contemporary dishes, but it’s the duck that is a particular favourite.

Again, the restaurant, Borbíróság, didn’t have a specific gluten free menu, but after some initial confusion, I flashed my coeliac cards and everything was understood. I ordered this Hungarian sausage ratatouille. We drank some delicious wine, chatted and rem i nisce over our short but sweet time in Budapest.
