Reservation FAQs
How short notice can I book?
Online up to the last available slot, as long as the system shows availability, you can book. Walk-ins are welcome too, but confirmed tables come first. Phone us during opening hours.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Cancel as early as possible so we can pass the table on, for brunch dates, someone from the waiting list will take your seat. Cancel online via the link in your confirmation email, or by phone.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Yes, while seats last. In peak fondue season and on brunch days a reservation is strongly recommended, otherwise you risk standing in the Gellert wind.
Do you take large group reservations?
Up to eight people online. From nine onwards, drop us a line or call, we plan the seating individually, especially if you're after fondue or raclette.
Can I add special requests for a birthday or occasion?
Absolutely. Add them to the notes field (birthday cake, apéro before seating, allergies, a surprise). For larger requests, give us a quick call or email first.
