We were looking for places in Budapest where we could satisfy not only our hunger but also our longing for nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The term \u201ecomfort food\u201d means something different to every nation, but for us Hungarians it is most often synonymous with the atmosphere of family lunches, steaming meat soup or our favourite school canteen dishes from our childhood. These are the recipes we learnt from our parents and grandparents, and to which we have countless personal stories attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we don\u2019t always have time to cook these dishes for ourselves, and that\u2019s when a reliable, traditional Hungarian restaurant comes in handy \u2013 a place where we can enjoy the flavours of home even on hectic weekdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list includes elegant restaurants that are perfect for large family gatherings, as well as cosy eateries where you can pop in at any time during your lunch break for a bowl of hot food. What they all have in common is that their atmosphere draws you in straight away, and the flavours are exactly as we\u2019re used to at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gundel Restaurant<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are flavours that every Hungarian recognises instantly: the golden broth, the velvety sauce of chicken paprikash, or the chocolate layers of Soml\u00f3i galuska. Gundel\u2019s cuisine is built precisely on this fundamental experience. According to the restaurant\u2019s philosophy, these dishes are not merely food, but represent home and care. Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, when we have no time to spend hours in the kitchen, it is in the heart of V\u00e1rosliget that we can find that sense of tranquillity and those flavours familiar from childhood, which everyone has loved in the same way for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201eGundel Nemzeti 11\u201d selection featured on the menu showcases the most fundamental common threads of Hungarian gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A bowl of hearty \u00dajh\u00e1zi chicken soup or chicken paprikash served with freshly torn nokedli instantly brings back the atmosphere of leisurely family meals. Chefs Andr\u00e1s Wolf and R\u00f3bert V\u00e9rten have crafted the menu so that traditional recipes are served with a fresh, contemporary twist, whilst retaining the classic character of dishes such as the Wiener schnitzel or pal\u00f3c soup. Here, you\u2019re not served a speciality, but rather the feeling that every mouthful holds the taste of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to note that these iconic dishes form the cornerstone of the menu, so they are available every day. At the same time, Gundel\u2019s Sunday family lunch is a separate concept with its own set menu, available every Sunday between 11.30 and 16.00. This set menu, featuring shared fried chicken and homemade apple strudel, is designed especially for those who wish to enjoy a special weekend lunch with several generations of their family in a time-honoured setting accompanied by live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
