As a resident of BP it's often difficult to entertain visitors who're after a traditional Hungarian meal in the centre of the city without getting ripped off. Lugas is a place that bucks the trend of over-priced restaurants serving mediocre food. We had 2 starters between 3 people, which was plenty and delicious. The mains were all also great -... More

We went here because a Hungarian guy told us to go. Typical Hungarian restaurant. Bery kind staff. De food is very good. If you want to have dinner in an hour you should go here, but we took our time.

We were not disappointed being it was so hot I just had an appetizer of Goose liver with apples and my wife had a deliciously fresh... More

We stumbled upon this restaurant because it was very near to our hotel and it looked cosy inside. The staff were lovely. A couple of them spoke good English, a couple didn't, but nevertheless they all went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was amazing, reasonably priced and very generous portions were given. We had... More

This restaurant servers good staple foods of a great quality, but it's just an average restaurant with average flavors. You wont go wrong. Nothing more, nothing less. Staff are nice, and watched them put reservations out... More
