Budapest Reservations Reservations Made Simple

Assuming you’re going to be touring Budapest soon, or Assuming you’re a foreigner who has been around in Budapest for years, there are surely some features you adore about the city (the gastronomy, the natural beauty, the inhabitants)–but I’m sure that there are also surely a few other aspects whichyou might not enjoy (language barriers, the state of Internet usage, or weird toilets).

Well, there’s some good news where one of those things is concerned: A western service will drag the Budapest eating scene into the modern era.

This service is named TableFree.hu, and functions like so: Diners search Budapest eateries on the TableFree.hu page, then you read the helpful restaurant profile to work out which places look nice, and then you can make a table reservation with the net in under 3 mouse-clicks. Suddenly, Budapest seems to be a modern city.

This advanced service offers several advantages over other sites which handle different aspects of going out in the city in the past.

Let’s start by looking at a option that goes by DineCity which tries to provide online reservations before, but which definitely hasn’t actually managed a acceptable job of that. The site really only provides less than 50 Budapest restaurants, the majority of them on the more pricy side and most of the restaurants (but by no means all) tourist joints. In contrast, the TableFree site offers more than a hundred places at this writing, and they run the spectrum from basic neighborhood restaurants such as Csalogato Kisvendeglo to first-class, world recognized titles like Nobu Budapest. TableFree.hu comprises every single price category, cuisine, and district to be found in the entire city, which means that people that partake of the system don’t have to be concerned that they are neglecting an undiscovered gem.

Another website that seems to be prevalent in the Budapest tourism space is TripAdvisor, yet this page has its own obstacles. To start with, it does not provide the chance to make reservations online, so TripAdvisor won’t actually help you avoid the linguistic obstacles nor schedule your desired restaurant trips beforehand. So it’s actually more of a review community. But unfortunately there’s an important secret which savvy tourists discovered years ago when it comes to TripAdvisor, and that is that it completely drops the ball as a service. All its reviewers are anonymous, which means that dishonest reviewers can do or claim absolutely anything that enters their minds with the aim to elevate or weaken the rep of whatever restaurant in Budapest (not to mention any guesthouse, panzio, operahouse, or anything else). There is lots of horrible restaurants through TripAdvisor with glowing reviews that were surely posted anonymously by their workers, and there is lots of good options with terrible comments on TripAdvisor that might have been put up by other restaurants or by difficult former customers. (Along those lines, this reviewer once had a colleague who posted a terrible review to a business because the person next to her was always talking loudly into his mobile. You see what I’m talking about?)

But TableFree gets around the issue of questionable, nameless restaurant reviews in two ways. To start, it only accepts the very best Budapest restaurants (in each price category, style, and location) for one. Since you’re only choosing from the best restaurants in Budapest to start with, users are positive you can rest assured that anywhere at which you get a table is going to give you just what it should be. Second, TableFree has concocted an ingenious restaurant profile page that allows you to get an idea the atmosphere of a place in seconds. The profile page has straightforward icons and rankings which demonstrate every detail from whether the restaurant has live music to smoking availability and child-friendliness. Thus, the TableFree system makes it almost unbelievably convenient to make a reservation at a top Budapest restaurant while having complete certainty that you will get precisely the dining experience you’re after.
