Laurel Budapest Reviews from The Last Year
Stay away! Unreliable guys when it comes to booking!
Stay aware! We booked this restaurant via the TripAdvisor and OpenTable integration one week in advance. A day before the dinner, the restaurant just canceled our reservation because of “overbooking.”. They received our reservation one week before the dinner and didn’t realize that they didn’t have the capacity for four people? They can unexpectedly ruin your plans, so don’t book here; choose another option.
Fine dining restaurant in a historic building
Laurel is a fine dining venue situated on the Pest side of the Danube River, conveniently close to the Oktogon metro station. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. Ahead of our visit, I requested a pescatarian menu, which was seamlessly arranged by blending options from both the standard and vegetarian menus available. The wine pairing, curated by an exceptionally knowledgeable sommelier, was excellent and consisted solely of local wines from Hungary. The culinary focus on texture was evident and impressive, though we found the flavors a tad too subdued for our liking. We tend to prefer more robust, flavor-rich dishes, but this is a matter of personal preference. The service throughout our meal was both thoughtful and meticulous, ensuring that we, along with all other patrons, felt thoroughly looked after.
A 5-star dining experience
I must tell that this was our best restaurant experience ever. Laurel represents the very best of fine dining, with wonderfully accommodating staff, food of the highest quality and great wine choices of course. We enjoyed a splendid 3 hour dinner, we tried both the chef's and the vegan tasting menu, and I can only recommend all couples to do the same. Zsuzsi's desserts oftentimes hitting the peak of flavor combinations that made our brains go mushy with euphoria. The wine pairings were at least as good as Péter's professional, yet light and funny presentations. We can only recommend the place to everyone, an unforgettable experience! Thank you!
Hungarian cuisine 2.0
Hungarian cuisine 2.0. Ingredients and classics of Hungarian cuisine are interpreted in a modern way and brought to the plate with lots of umami. Plus a Hungarian, very harmonious wine pairing that was conveyed in a friendly and professional manner. They have a reduced “children’s menu” for children, which is also deliciously handcrafted.
Sober elegance
We celebrated my partner's birthday, there were six of us. First of all I must say that from the moment of booking, made online, they were very attentive to our possible requests and needs. Nice place, minimal, elegant and with few tables. Equally elegant and courteous staff. I was very impressed, when I asked for the toilet, to be accompanied and to have the door opened for me both when entering and leaving. Perfect service, sublime food, elaboration of local dishes. Exceptional wine. I highly recommend it
Wild and Red
Last night we attended the Trezor Klub Wild and Red themed event at the Laurel restaurant, where we could taste Hungarian, French and Australian red wines alongside the wonderful game dishes. The event took place on the upper level of the restaurant, so the atmosphere was very familiar. The servers told us a little about each course, and we learned a lot of interesting facts about the wines from sommelier Péter Tüű, who apparently loves to tell stories. :) In any case, the restaurant is devoted to wines, which is clearly shown by the fact that there are 104 named vaults for rent in the cellar, where we can store our wines in perfect conditions. We tasted six dishes, all of them rich in flavor and inventive. The malted bread with wild boar rillettes was a strong start and the portion was quite large, followed by a wild salmon sashimi with burnt-marinated tomatoes and ponzu, a citrus sauce mainly used in Japanese cuisine. Peeled cherry tomatoes are an incredible taste, I would have loved to rehearse them :) I really like quail, but unfortunately my bird was a little undercooked, it was still pink on the bone, so it wasn't my favorite... The venison loin and wild boar cheek made up for it, the meat was super soft, juicy, crumbly and really rich in flavor in both courses, and I was also happy with the wild broccoli, which unfortunately is rarely used here, although I think it's a divine side dish. The cocoa-cherry-wild pepper dessert was the perfect end to this cozy evening, especially since we were served a 20-year-old port with a deep taste. By the way, the wines were excellent and they didn't skimp on them when our glasses were empty. My personal favorite was the French Clos Saint Jean, which I had never tasted before, which is a cuvée with a long finish, rich in tannins, in which I thought I could also detect coffee flavors - it was really delicious. I think we will enter the champagne evening as well, we had a great time.
Starry New Year
We had dinner at this restaurant on New Year's Eve, and it was truly a fantastic experience. Very attentive staff, excellent service, extremely varied and particular menu, with very few variations compared to the original for me as I am celiac, very vast cellar. It is a Michelin-rated restaurant but which had 1 star until recently, and in fact the whole dinner absolutely deserved the mention. We were also given a beautiful table near the window of the open kitchen. One of the best restaurants ever.
Worst Michelin restaurant experience
Really missed the mark. Food was ok, nothing special. Everything felt cold and distant. Wine paring was bad - 4 whites, 1 red and 1 port. I wish I had known the pairing was white heavy, really disappointing as I was excited to try some Hungarian reds. Disappointed that this place was recommended to me over others. There’s a reason no one was there on a Friday night.
Amazing evening in Budapest!
It's a shame i can't give more than 5 stars. This was absolutely top of the class dining in Budapest! The service, the food and the atmosphere was above and beyond! Laurel will be THE reason we're visiting Budapest again! Thanks for a unforgettable evening!
Huge disappointment
The restaurant and staff are pleasant. Regarding the tasting menu which includes eight dishes, the quantities are microscopic even in the context of a tasting menu, the products used are certainly of good quality, however they do not in themselves justify the prices charged. Indeed, these are not expensive basic products (cabbage, pig's ears, radishes, artichokes, etc.). One of the starters is notably composed of 2 dices (1.5 cm) of marinated vegetables and a quarter of marinated strawberry, the slice of bread and the smoked butter are counted as a starter, The main course consists of a tiny lamb chop . In the photo on the website two lamb chops are presented on the plate. Furthermore, there are quite a few marinated preparations and products served cold. If the quality is there, the quantity-price ratio is ridiculous. At more than 450 Swiss francs for three people with a bottle of wine at 30 Swiss francs, it's the scam of the year.
We reach a peak
In all honesty, the prices are stratospheric considering the quality of the products and their preparation. A tasting menu of 8 dishes, including 2 microscopic pieces of vegetable and 1/4 marinated strawberries, a slice of bread and butter counting as a dish (no more bread for the rest of the meal), a piece of pig's ear fries (this is more than enough). In short, an extremely disappointing experience and far from expectations for a starred restaurant. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is quite pleasant.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
