Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I celebrated a big birthday with almost 20 friends at Cafe 57 this October after having been there for another birthday celebration 15 years ago. Both of these events were delightful, and the one this year was exceptional. We met in the lovely private dinning...room on the street level with its comfortable adjoining salon where we gathered for drinks and hors d' oeuvres before the delicious three course dinner with excellent wines. Among the delicious offerings for the appetizer course was famous Hungarian goose liver. The outstanding main courses included salmon with roasted vegetables and hollandaise sauce; some of the best crispy chicken I have ever tasted; and a house specialty of pork with a unique and delicious mustard sauce. The food was such a treat for me and the guests. The service was friendly, efficient, and attentive to each guest. Prices were very affordable for this level of quality cuisine. I recommend this restaurant for group events and small dinners. In a city where the restaurants meet high standards, Cafe 57 is outstanding.More

This was an average Thursday and I wanted to have a good dinner! I’ve heard of this restaurant and that it should be an interesting experience! I had no reservations but the restaurant was almost empty when I arrived. I was a bit surprised when...they seated me in the basement! It was just me there. I was sitting all alone in the dark. I ordered Champagne and a salmon tartare as a starter! Here came the first problem.., there was no napkin at the table. No one thought about it! In came bread for the food; it was dry sliced loaf from the store next door! The salmon tartare was more of a salmon burger. It wasn’t tartar! Unbelievable! The champagne was ok! I was sitting in the basement all alone and that affected the service. Much waiting! As a main dish I ordered duck breast with risotto and a glass of pinot noir. The duck breast was OK but the risotto was heavy, salty and gave me no surprise. Wine was OK. Suddenly there was a new waiter! He recommended a cheese cake as a dessert. I ordered it with a small glass of cabernet franc. The cheesecake was an ordinary cheesecake. It had the same problem as the risotto! It was too much. It was quantity over quality. Nothing special... Then I waited, and waited, and waited. I wanted to pay my bill but nobody showed up. Finally I took the stairs up a floor and asked the service if I could pay my bill! When I payed my bill i noticed that they charged me for two dl wine to the dessert. It wasn’t near that I got but I didn’t bother to complain. I will never come back. In a total I will give the food three, the ambience alone in the basement a two and the service a two or three. The restaurant was overpriced! A three as a total grade is generous. I had expected more!More

Delicious food on the Buda side! Normally we eat on the Pest side but this time decided to try Cafe 57 and was not disappointed. The interior is very nicely decorated and the people there were just super friendly and professional. I ordered the duck...liver appetizer, duck breast main, and cottage cheese dessert and all three were perfectly cooked. My wife had the cod main and as well, perfect. Our guest ordered chicken supreme and as well, perfect. Not a bit over or undercooked. And for the cottage cheese balls, I try to always order this dessert at restaurants whenever possible, like a hobby... and the ones served at Cafe 57 is amongst the best. super! Definitely worth a visit! We will be back again for sure!More

Nice restaurant on the Hill of Roses - which is one of the elite districts of Budapest. In my opinion, modern cuisine is much more suited to it than Hungarian. Anyway the tastes was delicious, the compositions was eye-catching - in a pleasant, enjoyable atmosphere....The duck leg with cabbage strudel was somewhat funny but great idea. They have vegetarian options also, and various dessert offerings. Parking allowed on the street, and there are a lot of empty spaces.More

We walked up to the Hill of Roses and after visiting the Gul...Baba Museum we looked with Tripadvisor a rated nearby restaurant nearby. Cafe57 was a great choice. We had the soup of the day (a pumpkin cream soup) and the duck. Great food and great atmosphere. The waiter recommended well the plates.
