Best palacsinta I have had in Budapest and I have been in Budapest many times. So many different varieties and huge, enough for 2 people. Loved it!

I popped in for a take away as I was intriqued by the 'aranygalushka' flavoured crepe.
The place is near Astoria by the University of Theatre and Arts. They have 1 table outside, 1 inside on the left as you walk in and many upstairs to eat-in.
Order process is easy and quick, they take both cash and card payments. You get a white buzzer to alert you when your order is ready. I ordered an apricot jam one and another of that aranygalushka which is walnut filling and vanillia sauce. The crepes were made to perfection. The packaging looked nice too. They were ready in a few minutes from order. Overall nice little place. The pancakes are very big so you might not be able to finish them in one go.

I had never tried these crepes before, and it was a new and enjoyable flavor experience for me. The most important positive point, in my opinion, was the balance of flavors, which prevented the sweetness of the crepe from becoming overwhelming. The use of a slightly tangy ice cream and fruity sauces on the crepe created a well-balanced taste. The garnish was simple and just right.

Perhaps the only negative aspect for me was related to the service. If you chose to dine in, you had to place your order and bring it upstairs yourself, and also return your dishes afterward. While this isn’t uncommon especially in large cafes or restaurants with high foot traffic and disposable tableware it felt a bit inconvenient here. Considering the design of the stairs, which were slightly risky, there was a chance of breaking the dishes, and I think that was a drawback for this particular café.

Also, they offered a free drink if you showed them your feedback, which I thought was a fun and interesting option.

A great place! We happened to pass by while walking through the 8th district of Budapest, and decided to try it out. We went for the savory green pesto palacsinta and the sweet Esterhazy. Both were delicious!! I favored the savory, but the Eszterházy was also to die for! Both were "hatalmas", "óriási" - in other words, humongous! It's a very pretty place, too, with a gallery upstairs with tables and WiFi. János and his partner own the place and are very sympatique - had a delightful conversation with János mostly in Hungarian (I wanted the practice) but he's fluent in English! Will definitely return!

Its a very nice place, i would consider it cheap, very tasty crepes!
You order your food down stairs and then you takes a buzzer, and then you need to go down to get it.
