About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Pierrot is a refined yet comfortable and relaxed, friendly restaurant run by our several generation restaurateur family. We are located in a 13th century old bakery house with an enchanting hidden garden and featuring live piano music every night!

The kitchen is lead by Mr Lajos Lutz, the menu features contemporary interpretations of Hungarian specialities.

Since Pierrot was founded in 1982 it has gone through several changes but one thing has remained: In our family gastronomy is not merely a way of making a living but also a vocation in the best sense of the word.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Pierrot!

    I was surprised because in the menu there is information about 15 percent aditional tips but during the payment the waiter told me that he wanted another 6 percent tip because 15 percent tip usually goes to the manager - i think that this is unfair

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in Buda. It has a pretty garden with live piano music where you can have a very nice dinner. The food and service were also very good. I highly recommend it!

    Our visit to the restaurant was marked by a series of avoidable issues that unfortunately overshadowed the few redeeming aspects of the evening. We waited nearly half an hour before anyone took our order—a delay that set the tone for the rest of the service. Our preferred wine was unavailable, though to the waiter’s credit, the local alternative he recommended turned out to be quite good. However, the delays continued. Another thirty minutes passed before our starters arrived. Only then were we informed that the beef tartare we had ordered was not available and were asked if we would like a replacement—an oversight that should have been addressed much earlier. The goulash soup arrived lukewarm, and the paprikash, which we had expected to be the traditional preparation of chicken breasts in a paprika-based sauce, was instead presented as chicken rolls in sauce—an interpretation that was not clearly communicated on the menu and left us rather puzzled. To add to the disappointment, the bill included the beef tartare we never received. While it was eventually corrected, such an error on the check is careless and unprofessional. Portions were noticeably small considering the premium pricing, which made the entire experience feel overpriced for what was offered. Overall, while there were brief moments of quality—most notably the wine recommendation—the service lapses, miscommunications, and underwhelming dishes make it difficult to recommend this restaurant in its current form.

    Terrific 10 year anniversary dinner. Food was fantastic and the service was even better. We weren’t expecting the live piano music, it was a really nice treat.

    Loved it. Best Spatzle I’ve ever had. Everything was great. Could benefit from a couple of non Hungarian reasonable wines on their wine list. Lovely ambiance in part due to the building and decor/ in part due to the wonderful pianist playing romantic music. Would definitely come here again.

    We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. When we arrived at this restaurant we were surprised to be the only guests. The server told us that for the last 6 wks that the Open Table has not been functioning properly for them and will not allow users to book a table after 5.30 pm. Please work with then to solve this as it would be a shame to have this wonderful place go out of business!

    Ein sehr gemütliches und hübsch gestaltetes Restaurant mit einem lauschigen Innenhof. Dort kann man den Trubel der Stadt hinter sich lassen. Beim Essen hat uns leider etwas die Würze bzw. der Pfiff gefehlt.
