It’s not easy to find places in the capital where you can really escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but if you know which gates to look through, you can stumble upon some enchanting gardens.

Gundel Restaurant and Garden
Gundel Restaurant and Garden, situated in the heart of Budapest in the City Park, welcomes those seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle. The building and the restaurant’s elegant, air-conditioned interior offer a pleasant refuge from the summer heat, but the unique garden area, with its turn-of-the-century atmosphere, is also not to be missed.

Period-appropriate décor, romantic hideaways, life-size animal sculptures, as well as huge trees and lush vegetation are what make this garden truly unique.
As well as leisurely lunches and afternoon coffees, evening dinners are accompanied by cosy lighting and live music, which make your visit even more memorable.

The menu offers classics of Hungarian cuisine with a modern twist. Its selection, which changes throughout the day, always includes dishes from the Gundel legacy as well as international favourites. One of the standout dishes on the new menu is the Mátrai borzaska made with chicken, and the Gundel chocolate cake with dried sour cherries. A separate menu has also been created for vegan guests. Alongside the extensive wine selection, even a simple lemonade or coffee is served in festive style.

Gundel Kert offers a varied programme: it regularly hosts music and dance evenings, mainly aimed at the over-40s, where guests can dance to live music whilst enjoying dinner. In addition, a live concert by Zséda is on the cards in July, which, combined with dinner, is sure to be a special experience. It is definitely worth booking in advance for this event.

And although it may seem like a minor point, it is worth noting that Gundel Kert is a particularly dog-friendly place, so every member of the family can feel at home here.

All in all, Gundel Kert is not just a restaurant, but a multifaceted venue where the past and the present come together in perfect harmony, offering a treat for all the senses.
