Budapest has no shortage of activities that combine romance with a genuine experience. We’ve put together a list of five special places where shared moments take centre stage – whether it’s games, excitement, brunch or an elegant dinner.

Classic romance, a truly memorable experience – Valentine’s Day at Gundel Restaurant
Located next to the City Park, Gundel Restaurant has long been synonymous with the ambience of special occasions and a timeless culinary experience. The elegant surroundings and culinary tradition stretching back over a century set the tone for the evening the moment you step inside.

This is particularly true on Valentine’s Day: there’s no need to reinterpret romance here; simply let it work its magic, whilst the flavours, the attentive service and the menu specially crafted for the occasion naturally bring hearts closer together.

On 13 February, an exclusive pre-Valentine’s Day wine dinner will get guests in the mood for the occasion, whilst on 14 February, a Valentine’s Day dinner awaits all those seeking classic romance with a capital ‘R’.
On Friday evening, the atmosphere begins to take shape within the walls of the Gundel Wine Cellar with an exclusive Valentine’s Day wine dinner, where everything is about getting into the mood gradually. A glance, a clink of glasses, a shared smile – and the outside world fades away. The carefully curated four-course dinner is accompanied by a selection of wines and champagnes, whilst the menu has been specially devised for this evening by corporate chef András Wolf and executive chef Róbert Vérten. The harmony of flavours, the live music and the intimate setting all combine to create a truly special experience.

On the evening of 14 February, Valentine’s Day, only the Valentine’s Day set menu will be available at the restaurant, so all attention will be focused on this occasion. The three- and four-course menus combine classic and fresh flavours, and you can optionally request wine pairings with your meal. The welcome glass of champagne, the complimentary bonbon and the little appetisers set the tone for the evening right from the start, whilst dessert makes it easy to fall in love with the moment – and with each other.

During a Valentine’s Day dinner at Gundel, you’ll have time to chat, listen and savour that feeling when everything else fades into the background. If you’re looking for a truly elegant, memorable evening this year, where the romantic atmosphere is guaranteed, Gundel is the perfect choice.

Booking a table is strongly recommended, as this evening is a special occasion for many people.
