The most famous names in the history of Hungarian hospitality are coming together for a weekend to showcase K\u00e1roly Gundel\u2019s gastronomic legacy at the Gell\u00e9rt Hotel, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The \u201eGundel at the Gell\u00e9rt\u201d gastronomic weekend welcomes guests to one of Budapest\u2019s most beautiful hotel buildings with a Suite Restaurant on 23 June and a Sunday brunch on 24 June.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps many people are unaware that the Danubius Hotel Gell\u00e9rt, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and the Gundel Restaurant \u2013 which is almost the same age \u2013 were linked by a significant connection in the first half of the 19th century. And that connection was none other than K\u00e1roly Gundel himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning, the hotel\u2019s restaurants had been leased to the capital\u2019s leading culinary experts. From 1927 onwards, the leasehold rights were granted to K\u00e1roly Gundel. A large part of their work, which they carried out over a period of twenty years, was instrumental in raising the Gell\u00e9rt Hotel to the ranks of the world\u2019s grand hotels, and its prestigious events became the subject of newspaper articles across Europe. And as the hotel\u2019s history recounts, it was at the Gell\u00e9rt that K\u00e1roly Gundel\u2019s three famous dishes were created: the Rothermere pike-perch, the Bakony mushrooms and the Pittsburgh veal chop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the year of the hotel\u2019s centenary, this legendary collaboration is being revived with the help of the two executive chefs, Zsolt Litauszki and G\u00e1bor M\u00fcncz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Gundel\u2013Gell\u00e9rt merger<\/a>\u00a0It begins on 23 June with the Suite Restaurant, which is the hotel\u2019s signature feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of the \u2018Suite Restaurant\u2019 was brought to life by the Gell\u00e9rt Hotel, with Suite 422 \u2013 which has hosted the hotel\u2019s most famous guests \u2013 and a magnificent panoramic view of the Danube providing the backdrop. It is in this setting that an exclusive five-course menu, accompanied by a selection of champagnes, created by Zsolt Litauszki, executive chef at Gundel Restaurant, will be served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young chef, who has already made a name for himself in the industry, joined Gundel this spring. A member of the Hungarian Bocuse d\u2019Or Academy, he spent nearly 10 years in Austria at the start of his career, where he gained experience in several restaurants, including two Michelin-starred establishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current set menu \u2013 priced at 40,000 forints \u2013 features a savoury lamb tartare with matured sheep\u2019s cheese, a chilled yoghurt and butter squash soup with duck tongue, grilled mackerel with watermelon, and veal liver with wild mushrooms. All this is accompanied by premium sparkling wines. For dessert, there is fried apricot with vanilla ice cream. What makes this special is that guests at the Lakoszt\u00e1ly\u00e9tterem will pick the apricots themselves on the afternoon of the dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This interactive \u201epick-your-own\u201d programme, enjoyed alongside the chef and accompanied by champagne and savoury snacks, promises a unique and unforgettable experience for food lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, the now-traditional Sunday brunch, featuring all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink (for around 11,000 forints), will entice guests, this time with dishes created by G\u00e1bor M\u00fcncz, a multiple champion master chef. What makes the Sunday brunch particularly interesting is that, whilst the Gell\u00e9rt\u2019s head chef\u2019s buffet menu will feature dishes from old Gundel menus, the dishes on the \u00e0 la carte menu are a foretaste of the renewal of the Gundel Restaurant.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
