Budapest spoils foodies with multi-starred experiences at every turn – with so much choice, it’s sometimes almost impossible to decide where it’s really worth booking a table. So we’ve put together a list of the 5 restaurants that everyone should visit at least once: add them to your gastronomic bucket list!

Gundel Restaurant

This iconic restaurant in Városliget has been a bastion of Hungarian gastronomy for over 130 years. Its mouth-watering dishes, based on Károly Gundel’s century-old legacy of recipes, are served with a modern twist – and this is no different at Nemzeti 11 (N11), which offers a true ‘bucket list’ dining experience for those craving authentic delicacies. Gundel Restaurant’s selection at Nemzeti 11 features exclusively the most popular dishes of Hungarian cuisine: rich goulash soup, Tokaji aszú pâté, chicken paprikash, Somlói galuska, the world-famous Gundel pancakes and six further specialities. It’s no wonder people say that Gundel is the most famous Hungarian restaurant!
