“We came with a gift voucher and had booked in advance, which you really need to do: we got the last free table on the terrace. You can taste dishes from three harbours here, so everyone finds something they like. A beautifully furnished, stylish place with first-class service. Don't skip the tiger prawns as a starter!”

“The boat and its surroundings are beautiful. The food was delicious and the service flawless. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. I can only recommend it, whether for a romantic dinner, with a friend or with family. It was our first time, but certainly not our last.”

“A really pleasant experience at Vogue Boat. The atmosphere is special: the boat setting, in one of the most beautiful parts of Budapest, feels elegant and memorable. The staff were kind, attentive and professional, and everything ran smoothly. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a special place in Budapest for dinner, an event or a more elegant evening out. Beautiful surroundings, a great atmosphere and excellent service.”

“Friendly staff and a clean, uncluttered, beautiful interior where eating with a view of the Danube is a real pleasure. The food is delicious. This was our second visit and we weren't disappointed this time either! The online booking system works well too; it was easy to reserve in advance.”

Terms

Three numbers worth remembering

50% deposit on ordering — this is what makes the booking final
30 days before the event: free cancellation up to this point
7 days before the event: guest numbers and menus can still be changed

Frequently asked questions

Does the boat sail during the evening?

No. The Vogue is a permanently moored restaurant boat: no timetable, no boarding deadline and no motion. Anyone who arrives late simply joins the rest of the party.

Where can we park?

Right in front of the boat, on the embankment. From Monday to Friday — and on the Saturdays that count as working days in Hungary — parking is chargeable between 08:00 and 22:00. At the weekend it is free. You can also pay by text message: 06‑20/30/70‑763‑0131

How do we pay?

Against our invoice, in cash, by card or by bank transfer within seven days. We ask for a 50% deposit on ordering; the booking becomes final when the deposit arrives.

What happens if we have to cancel?
  • Up to 30 calendar days before the event: free of charge.
  • 29–20 calendar days before: 30% of the order is invoiced,
  • 19–10 calendar days before: 60%,
  • 9–5 calendar days before: 90%,
  • within the last 5 days: 100%.

Late payment carries interest at twice the prevailing central bank base rate. Between acceptance of the offer and signature of the contract, you may withdraw by paying a sum equal to the cancellation fee.

Can guest numbers still change?

Please send any change to guest numbers or menus no later than seven days before the event; we cannot take later changes into account. Within the final five days, guest numbers may be adjusted by at most 10%.

How late can the evening run?

For dinners, our restaurant is open until 23:00.

How many different menus can we choose?

For a seated dinner, up to three different menus can be ordered for one event. Please confirm the final menu for the whole group no later than seven days before the event.

How long does the buffet stay out?

Under our restaurant’s rules, food is served from the buffet for a maximum of three hours. The same rules mean that food cannot be packed up and taken away. A buffet dinner is charged for at least 25 guests, even if fewer attend.

Is there a room hire fee?

No. We charge no hire fee for our spaces, only for the food and drink you order. A wireless microphone with stand, a projector and screen, two televisions and lounge background music are all included free of charge.

Can we have a space to ourselves?

Yes, although exclusive use usually comes with a minimum spend on food and drink. If you spend less than the minimum, the difference is invoiced as a room hire fee.

Do we need security staff or a cloakroom?

Above 100 guests, one or two security staff are required, depending on the headcount. A cloakroom is available for an additional fee.
