What people are saying about Margaret Island

Excellent evening. Boat was very smart with cushioned seats and tables for two or four people. Boat was limited in number so everyone had a good view of the lit up sights. Musicians played a variety of music and went around the boat taking requests. A free glass of Prosecco was haded out on arrival. Bar available for further drinks.

This was incredible, the highlight of our trip to Budapest. The staff were very helpful and responded to all our requests very timely, the food was delicious, perfect sized portions for a 4 course seating, the setting was beautiful and hosted the most beautiful views of the Dunabe River.

Worth a try. Had a great experience with a reasonable cost during the night. Interior was old school classic style and you can have good spots to capture pictures and have a great view.
