Un lugar donde disfrutar de comida casera tradicional a buen precio. No se puede reservar, hay que hacer cola en la entrada, por lo que recomiendo ir con tiempo (aunque van bastante rápidos, la verdad). El personal es muy atento, y la carta está en varios idiomas (húngaro, inglés y español) Las sopas están increibles y entran muy bien con el frío actual (la de cerezas es muy curiosa, aunque es una sopa fría), el goulash de setas con ñoquis está tambien delicioso, y mi parte favorita: los postres. Altamente recomendable las albóndigas de pasta y nueces con crema de vainilla (de verdad, el segundo postre de la carta, de lo mejor que he probado en mi vida), pero si estás lleno, el puré de castañas con nata es más ligero y también está delicioso.

Sinceramente se merece toda la fama que tiene, hubo que esperar unos 30 minutos pero mereció la pena. El personal muy amable y la comida buenísima. Pedimos estofado de ternera con arroz y pollo al paprika con arroz (mi plato favoritísimo). Con bebida salimos a unos 15€ por persona que está bastante bien teniendo en cuenta que la calidad de la comida es genial. Lo recomiendo :)

Tienes que ir pronto, aunque aun así, hay que hacer cola (avanza rápido). Los precios no son caros y la comida está bien. Sobretodo las crepes que valen 1,80€ Es un sitio típico, la comida está bien ( si eres español, verás que no tiene nada que ver com la nuestra)

Excelente lugar!! Se come increiblemente bien y el estofado estofado de ternera y el de pollo son espectaculared! Sí vas a Budapest tienes que ir a este sitio sí o sí! Vas alucinar! Vale la pena la esperar para entrar!

Very affordable eats that is no frills. We got to dine up in the second floor, and was still taken care of. The paprika Chicken with noodles and the beef stew with rice were both delicious! It’s a very heavy dinner but so hearty. I would come back for the beef stew in a heart beat. There was a huge line when we left so go early!

one of our favourite meals in budapest :) traditional food at an affordable price we got the mushroom goulash and chicken paprika (both with papas fritas) the meal was very comforting as well especially in the cold weather you can also get chimney cake down the road afterwards (but they open at 2pm)

We had a great experience at Frici Papa! The goulash with nokedli was delicious - rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A great spot to enjoy traditional Hungarian food in Budapest!

Frici Papa delivered exactly the kind of traditional Hungarian meal we were hoping for in Budapest. The goulash was so good and filling, we couldn’t finish our mains - which were just as tasty. My husband had the Brasser Roast Joint with fries, and I ordered the Chicken Paprikash with noodles. With a beer, water, and takeout containers (which they charge for), our total was €40 ($65 CAD) - great value for a hearty, authentic meal. We always seek out local cuisine when we travel, and this spot definitely hit the mark. We highly recommend Frici Papa for a genuine Hungarian food experience!

If you want to relive some communist era atmoshere and taste the best, the most original Hungarian dishes, this is your destination number 1. You must stand in a line, as there is a line of foreigners and locals. But don't worry-- it will not be an eternal wait, just till the next table is open. And inside: cool 1980s-90s music (George Michael' s "Faith" was on when we sat down), plastic checkered (oil) cloth, full plates of typical local dishes. The staff is kind, polite, jokeful and full of understanding towards picky customers. Congratulations Frici Papa, we had a blast 💖 ❤️ 💙

Very tasty and flavorful food at very affordable prices. The portions are okay — they could be a bit larger, but at least the quality is good. I highly recommend it.

The meat is soft and tender, and the delicious potatoes perfectly balances the dish. Got a fruit soup which is incredibly tasty it can be eaten as a dessert or a starter. Last but not least the cucumber salad had the perfect mix of sweetness and tanginess.

Great traditional restaurant serving Hungarian dishes. Food cooked to perfection and plenty of it. Nice beer available. Service was friendly and fast. Reasonably priced too so cheaper than nearby tourist type restaurants. Locals seem to use it which is always a good sign.

This is a very cost-effective restaurant! If you like to eat a lot of meat, then you come to the right place! Very authentic fried chicken steak, beef soup, red wine beef brisket, we had the most meat meal in Budapest, I will visit again.

Comida auténtica de la zona, de ese tipo que realmente te acerca a la gastronomía local. El personal es muy rápido, simpático y te recomienda muy bien, lo cual se agradece mucho. Es un sitio imprescindible si visitas Budapest y quieres conocer su cocina tradicional; se nota claramente que va mucha gente de la zona a comer allí, no solo turistas. Aun así, me dio la sensación de que a los turistas siempre nos ofrecían o pedíamos lo mismo, mientras que veía a gente local comiendo platos que tenían una pinta realmente apetecible. Me habría gustado tener más criterio o información a la hora de elegir mejor qué pedir. El precio no es barato. Creo que tienen un menú que no ofrecen a los turistas, salvo que lo conozcas previamente. Está bien para probarlo una vez y vivir la experiencia, pero no volveríamos: por ese precio se puede comer en sitios mejores.

Un restaurante auténtico donde puedes comer a precios aceptables a pesar de lo que han subido los precios últimamente en Budapest. Decir que el goulash no es de los mejores que hemos probado aunque no estaba mal, el pollo paprika si estaba bueno. Hola potreras y súper barato. Sorprende el precio de sus crepes por ser muy baratos.

Taberna típica de Budapest con un ambiente agradable y un trato amable. Tienen la carta en español. Hemos probado los platos típicos y es totalmente recomendable. Hemos ido sobre las 19:30 y no hemos tenido problema para coger mesa. Al salir había cola esperando a entrar. Buena relación calidad precio.

Walked past this place at lunch time and saw a long queue outside.. Decided to come for early dinner at about 6pm. I ordered the mushroom goulash w fried potato.. The texture of the goulash is thicker than what i had expected, tastewise fairly ok .. Portions are quite generous. Overall quite good dining experience

JY Tan

Queue is long but waiting time is not very long Goulash is rich in flavor, while pork chop is well seasoned. Nice dining experience

I was looking for somewhere serving hearty Hungarian food and I had made a note of this place from a YouTube video I saw online . Seemed mostly locals which is a good sign. The portions are a good size I left very full. The goulash was could have been alot warmer but was tasty. Service was attentive.

Marta Miąsko

Good food with affordable prices. Wine goulash was fine, meat was delicate, although it was a little bit fatty. There is also bread served at the table, so it may be sufficient for the goulash. Meat with mushroom sauce was much better - as it was much lighter. We waited only for a couple of minutes to get in and then we also didn't wait long to get our food.

Justin Everywhere

A place serving a collection of traditional Hungarian dishes. They also offer the menu of the day at an affordable price (2,500 HUF). The day menu is pretty basic, but it's still 3 courses and the atmosphere is really nice. I appreciated how kind every one of Frici Papa Team was. Would love to go back again :)

Can’t say anything bad about the place! Really well advertised! Nice (granny style) atmosphere! Kind waiters. Food not fancy, simple but with good taste! For me a little bit too much junky, but still ok. Good location. Cheap prices. You have to try it at least once.

Experiencia como española 🇪🇸: Sinceramente, nada del otro mundo. Pedimos dos platos principales: estofado de ternera y pollo al paprika (con guarniciones a parte a elegir) y aunque estaban buenos, no es nada sorprendente ni que no puedas comer en España. Pedimos para beber una botella de agua grande, y no tomamos postre. Pagamos 32€ solo por esos dos platos y el agua. Es decir, a día de hoy muy barato no es, porque la verdad es que nos quedamos con algo de hambre. Si volviese a Budapest, no es un sitio en el que repetiría.

Llegamos para comer a las 16:45 y no tuvimos que esperar cola. Los camareros son atentos, y la carta está en español. En cuanto a la comida está en la media, pero si quieres probar lo típico de Hungría es un buen sitio. Nos dejamos guiar por un postre que recomendaban en una reseña y mejor no haberlo probado, nos lo dejamos entero (albóndigas e nueces y pasta con salsa de vainilla).

We went for dinner. The waiter that serves us was very nice, and the food was good, but it was obviously pre-made (not freshly made) and heated up since it arrived us literally 2 mins after ordering and it wasn’t very hot. Also, I got the goulash and it was way too salty (and I eat very salty food all the time). The cutlery, plates, and napkins were left on the table for us to set up when we sat down so also that part wasn’t great. It’s not expensive tho

As a Hungarian, I unfortunately feel that this is a tourist trap. The goulash was very tasty, but the rest was not. The paprika chicken was bland and clearly not made according to the original recipe. The Brassó apró pecsenye was better, but it was also not made according to the original recipe and did not taste quite right. If you want to eat authentic traditional Hungarian food, this is probably not the place to go.

This is a very simple meal for which I paid €30. The zucchini was tasteless, and they even recommended potatoes to go with the soup — which was quite strange. Overall, it felt more like an overpriced cafeteria than a restaurant.

Está bien pero está sobrevalorado. La gente con el TikTok y el instagram está haciendo mucho daño. Está bueno pero hay muchísimos sitios mejores. Fue el sitio más caro al que fui a comer en toda mi estancia. Acompañantes de comida muy normal. Mucha cantidad de guarnición y poca comida especial

Sharath Kamlekar

Honestly, was very bland food. I don’t understand the hype and positive comments about this place. I am no Hungarian, but I feel the food was so so bland and flavourless and was also not that fresh. And the Price. toooooo much. Literally paid, 50€ for two people (we didn’t even get drinks). And the main dishes don’t even get sides (rice or potato), you need to order them separately. And the restaurant also charged us 10% (~4€) Service Charge, we weren’t told of this, I got to know after stepping out. I have also been to MyCanteen chains, and there its much better, food service and in every perspective. Also this is a tourist trap, everyone eating was tourists, no locals so you can get the vibe. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A pure disaster for us. The dish supposed to be signature in hungarian cuisine was a total fail, frozen cold stew with full of fat and nerves that unbeatable. I really don’t understand positive comments, it took 20 minutes only to take orders. The waiters were super rude.
