Two exciting new developments were announced at the Gundel restaurant\u2019s press conference. In 2027, legends of Hungarian film history will come to life for a single special evening at the Gundel Palace: the next Gundel Ball will pay tribute to iconic figures and stories from Hungarian cinema. Meanwhile, the 130-year-old Gundel is also undergoing a revamp behind the scenes: with a 30 million forint investment, it has modernised its external catering division, which combines tradition with the expectations of the modern age.
