Dockside kitchen & bar · Budapest
Margarita is a dockside kitchen and bar plating the day’s catch against a wall of citrus, agave, and salt. Come for the fish, stay through sunset.
The story
“We buy what the boats bring in, then build the plate around the fruit that’s ripe and the chile that’s hot. No freezer, no filler — just the coast, a squeeze of lime, and a wide-rimmed glass.”
Chef Marisol Reyes · Opened 2016

Margarita Restaurant
At Margarita, we believe great food starts with great ingredients. Our kitchen brings together fresh seafood, vibrant Asian flavours, and generous plates made for sharing.
From the first bite to the last drink, everything is about bringing people together around a table.
Good to know
Walk-ins are always welcome. For groups of four or more, or for weekend dinners, we'd recommend booking ahead through the contact page or by phone so we can hold your table.
We're open daily, 9:00am to 11:00pm, including weekends and most holidays.
Yes — order through Wolt, Foodora, or our own online ordering page for delivery, or call ahead for takeout. Dine-in tables are first come, first served outside of reservations.
Each combo is a shared bucket of shrimp, clams, crab, octopus, or mussels tossed in your choice of Cajun, Juicy, or Garlic Butter sauce, served with potatoes, corn, egg, and rice. Combos scale from a solo size up to feasts built for a group.
Every combo comes with a house sauce of your choice. Extra sauce on the side is a small add-on, and groups of four or more get two dipping sauces free.
Our menu leans heavily on shellfish, so please flag any allergies to your server before ordering. We also carry non-seafood mains and sides for anyone in your party who'd rather skip the boil.
We're on a pedestrian stretch of Váci Utca, so there's no dedicated lot, but public parking garages are a short walk away and the location is well served by public transit.
Absolutely — larger parties and group bookings are welcome. Give us a call ahead of time so we can prep the right amount of seafood and seating.
What people say
Genuinely one of the best seafood finds in Budapest. The steamed seabass and fried rice were outstanding, and it was far cheaper than we expected for the quality.
The spicy dipping sauce that comes with the seafood boil is unreal — I've only had something like it once before, in Vietnam.
Huge menu, huge portions. We tried razor clams, tom yum, and glass noodles with duck and everything came out fast and fresh.

Loved the crab and shellfish selection — the snails were a first for me and they didn't disappoint.
Staff were attentive without hovering, and the pace of service made a big group dinner easy to manage.
Quiet, relaxed atmosphere for how central it is. Good spot to unwind after walking around the old town all day.
