A lot of restaurants include the service on the bill.
Most of the time it will be 10% and they write it on the bottom of the bill for your comfort of understanding the bill's parts.
If you don't see the service included you can always ask and give the waiter a 10% tip - he will be very happy.

During the summer weekends (on saturday and sunday) the chain bridge in the middle of Budapest becomes a pedestrian only area and you will be able to enjoy a non-traffic area with food stands , gifts stands , live shows and great atmosphere.
Beside the nice "festival" the view from here is lovely with the Buda castle on one side and Roosvelt square on the other side.
