About the restaurant
In our Bistro restaurant, we aim to offer our guests contact-cuisine dishes that blend the basics of Basque and Latin American culture. By combining the two cultures, we have created a unique selection that harmoniously complements each other. Our core philosophy is to see food and meals as a community-building force. Latin cuisine always complements an important event, whether it’s a family gathering or a night of light entertainment; our food is always about connecting: it’s the essence of Basque cuisine. The Basques love food and can’t imagine gatherings of friends or family without sitting around a table. It’s no coincidence that Basque gastronomy has become one of the most atmospheric cuisines in Europe in recent years.
Chef
Chef André Bicalho, a Brazilian-Portuguese chef with Brazilian-Portuguese roots who has worked in many fine-dining restaurants around the world, is the chef behind the newly opened Cut&Barrel bistro, which will feature Latin American-Basque contact cuisine. André has previously worked in many countries and in various fields directly or closely related to gastronomy. He has been living in Europe for over 15 years, working in Spain, Portugal, England, Belgium and Germany, and has completed a six-month internship at the 2 Michelin-starred restaurant Villa René Lalique in the Alsace region of France. In addition to our bistro restaurant, he also uses his extensive international experience as Corporate Chef of the Matador restaurant in Etyek, together with a team of mostly Latin American chefs.
Our Bistro restaurant perfectly reflects the multicultural spirit of Carlos Coelho, an Argentinian-born restaurateur who is also at home in Hungary and California: the owner of the Haraszthy Winery in Etyek and the Matador restaurant they run, he also dreamed up this new bistro concept, which also uses modern fine-dining technologies. Cut&Barrel has unique architectural solutions. In our restaurant, we prepare our dishes using seasonal and, where possible, local ingredients, using high quality cooking techniques, consistently incorporating smoky flavours into the dishes, striving to ensure that they are harmonious and do not distract from the wines. The most important ingredient of the restaurant is of course the quality of the meat: we use meat from all over the world to make steaks, sausages and cold cuts, based on our own recipes. The restaurant’s wine selection is complemented by the Hungarian wineries’ red wines from the sister wineries in Argentina and California, which are excellent with the barbecue dishes. The Winehub wine centre and Cut&Barrel bistro in Óbuda offers a cosy terrace and unlimited free parking!
Dániel Hámori2024-04-19Mi az étteremhét keretében ismerkedtünk meg a hellyel és lenyűgözött az ízparádé. Számomra az iparcsarnokba álmodott enteriőr is izgalmas volt.
Ildikó Markovics2024-04-10Először jártunk itt és elvarázsolt a hely. Biztos, hogy visszatérünk.
Ramóna Horn2024-04-03Elképesztően finom ételeket volt szerencsénk elfogyasztani!❤️✨ Az eddigi kedvenc az étlapról a marha tatár illetve a földimogyorós, csokis banános desszert! A kiszolgálás nagyon kedves volt, a hely pedig igazán kellemes. Biztosan vissza fogunk még térni! ❤️
Tamara Ignatenko2024-03-25Очень классный и стильный ресторан в винном пространстве Winehub. Мы пришли в рамках ресторанной недели, то есть ели мы по дегустационному меню. Все было очень изысканно и вкусно, подача очень красивая. Тартар просто невероятный!!Также взяли винное сопровождение, особенно впечатлил красный мальбек поданный к чизкейку! Все очень понравилось, обязательно придем ещё.
L ZC2024-03-25This is my first time trying Argentine cuisine, and it was an amazing experience. I'm a meat lover, and every dish was exquisite and flawless. Especially the signature beef tartare was so stunning that I wanted to lick the plate clean after finishing it. You can feel the chef's dedication in every bite. The staff were also very friendly, especially the Waiter from Argentina who said he's the owner's nephew. He made us feel his passion for his work, which is rare in Hungary, where the service attitude is often poor. This restaurant has well-trained staff, and every Waiter is very warm and welcoming. It's truly a hidden gem worth a special visit no matter how far you are.
Laci Bartal2024-03-22Utter joy and amusement in every piece being served! I highly recommend to try the place! You will wanna go back soon.
Andrew Davison2024-03-21Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. We were made to feel welcome by our amazing server Attila as soon as we arrived. Food came out nicely spaced, all the dishes were explained and everything was delicious. As were the cocktails (they have a great line of cocktails - interesting ones you don’t see elsewhere - and for great prices). The highlight was meeting the owner Carlos who chatted with us, told us about the food and restaurant and showed us an amazing wine from his winery.
Aletta Borsos2024-03-21Nagyon finomak és érdekesek voltak az ételek, a felszolgálás pedig kedves és professzionális volt. Nagyon jól éreztük magunkat :)
