Situated on the Pest side of the Danube River, this modern and luxurious apartment hotel is only a five-minute walk from the Corvin-negyed metro station and the Grand Boulevard. The famous Saint Stephen's Basilica and iconic neo-Gothic Parliament building are just a short metro ride away, while the museums and churches of Castle Hill can be reached in roughly half an hour via public transport. The suites range from studios to a three-bedroom penthouse suite. Each boasts contemporary furnishings with bold, bright designs. Guests can cook homemade meals in the fully-equipped kitchen and keep in touch with home and office with high-speed internet access. The hotel also provides a generous buffet breakfast which guests can enjoy also on the sunny terrace on warm spring and summer days, all for a more flexible and independent sightseeing holiday or productive business trip in Budapest.

Costes

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Elegance and sophistication lead the way at Costes, from the smart décor to the well-orchestrated service. Ask for a seat to the front of the main room for a feeling of space, then enjoy the eager anticipation as the sommelier presents an exceptional, mostly Hungarian wine selection. The modern 7 course tasting menu comprises memorable dishes which not only look stunning with their bright colours and artistic style, but are packed with vibrant, complementary flavours. Seasonality plays an important role here too, with the featured ingredients always informing you of what’s in season right now.

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Within a boutique hotel sits this small, sophisticated restaurant, whose open kitchen forms an integral part of the stylishly lit room. Shelves are full of jars containing colourfully preserved foraged fruits, vegetables and herbs, and the butter, lardo and Mangalitsa ham are all produced in-house. The surprise set menu is made up of intricate, exquisitely constructed dishes – many of which are updated versions of classic Hungarian recipes – and tables all face the wood-clad ‘pass’, where the chefs assemble the dishes in front of your eyes with skill and dexterity.

Modern Cuisine, Hungarian · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

A central glass-walled kitchen is the focal point of this eye-catching modern restaurant; a dining room sits either side, and there’s a chatty buzz to the room, which is helped along by the personable service team. The two experienced chef-owners are proud of their Hungarian roots and skilfully reinvent and modernise classic Hungarian dishes using a wide range of techniques. The wonderfully rich gulyás soup and the soft, flavoursome venison are hits, as is the ever-present somlói dessert. When it comes to wine, look to the Hungarian options – there are some great sweet Tokajis on the list.

Rumour by Rácz Jenő

Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€€

After travelling the world, Chef Jenő returned home to open this unique restaurant. Located in the heart of the city, it comes with concrete walls hung with mirrors, and a 21-seater counter which wraps around the large open kitchen. Red leather stools and placemats provide colour, while a trendy soundtrack adds to the vibe. The set menu showcases elements from Jenő’s travels via a series of refined, creative, sometimes playful dishes that burst with flavour. These are matched by some serious wine pairings, with the Hungarian option offering some wonderfully unique, bespoke choices.

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

While it would be easy to do, to pass by this unassuming-looking restaurant near the Basilica would be a mistake. The kitchen here sources top-class ingredients, treats them with the utmost respect and allows them to shine. Subtle Hungarian influences run throughout dishes which are well-conceived, skilfully executed and have a notable intensity of flavour. There is an à la carte, but go for the tasting menu for the best experience. Wines are key here too: they offer 100 labels, including some of Hungary’s top producers, with many available by the glass.

Modern Cuisine, Portuguese · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Portuguese Chef-Owner Tiago and his Hungarian wife Éva have created a warmly run and deliciously different restaurant in the heart of the city. A bright front room with arched windows leads past the open kitchen to a more intimate room where patches of blue and white tiling hint at Tiago’s heritage. At dinner, pick from 5 or 7 courses – some have choices, allowing you to lead with either Portuguese or Hungarian influences, or to combine them for the best of both worlds. The interesting, flavour-packed dishes are poised and elegant, and Tiago has a deft touch when it comes to seasoning.

European Contemporary · Bib

€€

Tucked away in the city centre on a small square, Cabrio’s tree-shaded terrace is the perfect place to kick back with a glass of wine. A 100% natural wine bar, it offers generously priced bottles from both Hungary and across Europe, and comes with a vintage look and a trendy vibe. The friendly team are keen to offer recommendations when it comes to both the wine and the concise selection of seasonal small plates (three per person is about right). Boldly flavoured, well-judged combinations could include burnt celeriac carpaccio, salmon trout tartare with green gazpacho or raspberry chocolate cr

It might have changed location, but a warm welcome and great value food awaits at 94' Konyha & Bar. The super-fresh, vibrantly flavoured cooking has a clear Vietnamese heart, with dishes including a tasty pho and creations such as their own 94' Gohan – a blend of beef, fried rice and XO sauce – but you’ll find some other Asian flavours at play here too. The ‘Lunch Break’ menu is a particular steal and always be sure to finish with a Vietnamese coffee, you won't regret it.
