Chefs

Over the past few years, the capital city of Hungary has seen the emergence of a new and dynamic culinary scene. Young chefs and prestigious names of the international gastronomy have brought change into the kitchens of this metropolis. Hungarian traditions are being revived, appealing to a younger generation of foodies who praise local, sustainable and artisanal products. Today, it is possible to experience Budapest as a real gourmet, from a starry breakfast to an intimate dinner in one of the hippest districts of the city.

On the cozy, luxurious and relaxed Buda side of the Danube river, Stand25, the bistro of star chefs Szabina Szulló and Tamás Széll, offers traditional Hungarian food done to perfection. On the other side of the river, in the hip, young and vibrant district of Erzsébetváros, young chef Ádám Mede is at the head of a fine-dining kitchen where Asian influences give a creative twist to local ingredients and recipes.
