Restaurants in Budapest

Budapest is the capital city of restaurants and gastronomy. This, of course, has not always been so. Twenty years ago, one had to make great efforts to be able to find restaurants which could be regarded as acceptable at most. Besides, culinary pleasures were strictly limited to the Hungarian cuisine, since the realm of international flavours was completely unknown in Hungary. The change of regime around 1990, however, brought about the quickest and most comprehensive transformation just in Hungary’s catering trade among all sectors, and even within catering especially in the sphere of restaurants. Today, excellent restaurants are proliferating, vying with each other in quality, and all branches of the international gastronomy are well represented in Budapest, ranging from the Italian cuisine to the Japanese and the Thai cooking. Impressive development in this sector can be exemplified by the restaurant Onyx, which has recently been awarded Michelin stars, and by the Costes, the first restaurant in Hungary to obtain Michelin stars.

 

Advancement of the Hungarian gastronomy can best be measured by the response of foreign tourists. Gastronomical tourism constitutes one of the most dynamically growing segments, and a significant portion of the foreign tourists visiting Hungary are regularly returning guests. One or two decades ago, it was practically only the markedly low prices that had attracted people, and Budapest’s restaurants had typically been frequented by a clientele almost entirely made up by tourists arriving from Germany, East-Germany and Austria. These days, however, Budapest is being visited by tourists from all corners of the world, specifically coming in search of a gastronomical experience – and, as I have already mentioned, an ever growing part of these guests are returning on a regular basis.

 

Deservedly renowned Hungarian vegetables, meats and other primary materials, a high-standard catering trade education and training system, and keen competition within the sector are all positive factors which favour and bring benefits to those clients who are exacting in their gastronomical expectations and who are not just frequenting restaurants with the aim of getting their lunchtime menu. Moreover, if we also consider the fact that it is only the quality standard and not the price level that has been adjusted to Western European norms, we can easily understand why Budapest has become the capital city of gastronomy and of excellent restaurants.
