To mark the 130th anniversary of the Gundel Palace, and in keeping with Gundel\u2019s mission, the owners and management are making the experiences of this historic restaurant\u2019s famous guests available to and sharing them with everyone, evoking those memorable flavours even decades later.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gundel is renowned for so many things: its recipes, which have shaped Hungarian gastronomy; its centuries-old tradition of hospitality; its social awareness \u2013 and it is also famous for its illustrious guests. Visits by royal and ecclesiastical dignitaries, princes, politicians and international stars have enriched the 130-year history of the Gundel Palace. These well-known guests have enjoyed special menus that were not available to others \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, however, Gundel is launching its \u2018Celebrities\u2019 Menu\u2019 series.
The first of these will be the \u2018Four Crowns\u2019 menu, served at a reception held in honour of Queen Elizabeth II, which \u2013 in the form of a dinner, with a simple table booking \u2013 will be available to everyone within a few weeks:
This magnificent selection will be available for 10 days. Those interested will soon be able to find information about the Four Crowns Days on the website and on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s visit to Hungary \u2013 4\u20137 May 1993.<\/strong>
On 4 May 1993, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, arrived in Hungary at the invitation of President \u00c1rp\u00e1d G\u00f6ncz.
During their four-day stay in our country, the royal couple \u2013 in addition to their obligatory political engagements \u2013 attended a performance of the ballet *Sleeping Beauty* at the Opera House, went on excursions to Kecskem\u00e9t and Bugac, and had lunch at the Gundel restaurant.
On 5 May, at this distinguished ceremonial event, Prime Minister J\u00f3zsef Antall and his wife hosted a luncheon in honour of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. The lunch for 32 guests began with a reception for the royal couple in the Queen Elizabeth Ballroom, situated on the upper floor of the Gundel Palace.
The dishes for the dinner were conceived by K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Kalla, Gundel\u2019s executive chef at the time, so that the royal headdress \u2013 the royal crown \u2013 would feature in the presentation of every dish. The pigeon essence provided the greatest inspiration; here, the vegetables were ultimately shaped into tiny crowns. For the main course, the sirloin, arranged in braids, was grilled on a custom-made mould, whilst the dessert was a sumptuous strawberry parfait piled high on a giant pasta crown brought in on a trolley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this initiative, Gundel is donating 5 per cent of the proceeds from its \u2018Celebrities\u2019 menu series to the National Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing: Sinosz.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
