    This was my first time at a restaurant where they don’t allow you to sit until you choose your seafood. Fine, I chose octopus, prawns, and some fish. They weighed everything, but I only noted the weight of the octopus, which was 100 grams. However, when I received the receipt, it said 236 grams—clearly a lie. They did not provide any paper or proof when weighing the seafood. The service was mediocre, just like the atmosphere and the food. If someone recommends this place to you, make sure they show you the exact weight on paper before you agree. I later checked TripAdvisor and saw similar complaints—unfortunately, only after my visit. Your real order and the receipt are 2 different things, its a scam restaurant and food is not even worth the money.

    We loved the dinner we had at Bigfish. We were made to feel very welcome by the team who explained the menu and how to order. Choosing our fish from the cold bar was great and they had a good selection of fish and shell fish. The fish was cooked beautifully and the other dishes we ordered were delicious. We had their own brand Chardonnay which we enjoyed very much. A great experience with excellent food. I would highly recommend especially fish lovers

    This restaurant is an overpriced tourist trap. Its apparent signature dish, fried calamari, is nothing but frozen deep fried breaded squid served cold with some green pepper rings on top. The grilled sea bass was insipid even with the thyme and garlic left in the cavity! The only saving grace was the Marseille seafood soup, but even then, there were perhaps three mussels and some scraps of fish. Bearing in mind, this is Budapest, not central London, the bill was £100 for two people. Oh, and let's not mention the chaotic arrangements to order the food at the counter, nice idea poorly executed

    Ristorante bello e qualità ottima di pesce. In Italia ristoranti così siamo abituati a trovarli ma qui è molto difficile ed è comprensibile la fascia del prezzo medio - alta. Però dopo giorni in cui il palato era abituato a cibi speziati e dai sapori forti, ci andava del sano pesce cotto alla piastra. Siamo stati molto soddisfatti.
