Fill your evening with life!
Gundel has always been more than just a restaurant: it’s a gathering place where music and dancing are just as much a part of the dinner experience as our iconic dishes.

Be a part of Gundel’s story.
Here, you can enjoy yourself in an elegant yet carefree atmosphere, surrounded by moments filled with music, dance, life, and smiles.

Andrea Keleti and her husband Zoltán Kovács, along with the Budapest Showtime band, look forward to welcoming you.

The summer evening venue for Gundel’s music and dance nights—in case of a good weather—is the enchanting Gundel Garden, which welcomes guests as a true urban oasis with wonderful lighting and a romantic atmosphere. In case of rain or cooler weather, the event will be held in the historic interiors of the Gundel restaurant, providing a fitting setting for the experience.
Plan ahead—don’t risk missing out!

Tables are filling up fast, so reserve your spot for the Gundel Music and Dance Evening, where a single ticket is all it takes to make your summer evening complete.

The 130-year-old Gundel is back to its original mission of "Gundel is for everyone"!

Everything at Gundel is about heritage, which includes the location of the restaurant, the cradle of Hungarian gastronomy. Hungary's most famous and only Hungarikum restaurant is unmissable, the most famous and bucket-list place in Budapest and Hungarian gastronomy! The restaurant is famous for its excellent hospitality and Hungarian gastronomy. It is located in the most visited destination of Budapest, near Heroes' Square, in a 19th century palace building at the gateway to the City Park. The palace building is not only a restaurant, but also a venue for high quality events, balls, weddings, corporate and private events, conferences and trainings.

The Gundel is built with the slogan "back to the roots", bringing back the atmosphere of the old days in both the interior and the garden, creating a space that pays homage to the golden age of Gundel, while at the same time offering the opportunity to be open to the widest possible range of guests at any time of the day at any occasion. It is both a café and a restaurant, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry, a delicious lunch or an intimate dinner, accompanied by live music all day long.  Gundel's garden is famous for its oasis-like green plants that surround the guest area, with atmospheric evening lights, a great way to spend time in season.

We believe in and promote the founding idea of Károly Gundel, under the auspices of which we offer our dishes the most famous Gundel classics, surrounded by legendary hospitality! The Gundel family created nearly 140 Hungarian dishes, giving birth to the most famous Hungarian dishes that form the basis of today's Hungarian cuisine. In the restaurant, we present to visitors from other countries and cultures what we Hungarians like, what we eat and what we consider to be the basis of Hungarian cuisine.

In addition to the 11 iconic National Gundel dishes at the core of our menu, many other unmissable dishes are also included in this prestigious selection, the perfection of which is the responsibility of Róbert Vérten executive chef and András Wolf corporate chef. Guests come from all over the world to taste the famous Hungarian flavours. These include the goulash soup, the paprika chicken with "nokedli", the Somló sponge cake and the world-famous Gundel pancakes.

In recent years we have welcomed more than 400 world famous and renowned people, including Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II, Pope Francis, King Harald of Norway, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and many others. We've hosted well-known actors and singers such as Robert Redford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, Madonna, ABBA, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Aaron Eckhart and Alex Pettyfer, some of whom have a dedicated table in our restaurant.

Hungary's most famous restaurant is known and loved all over the world. Our guests have happy memories and many of them return to Gundel.

Discover Hungary's most famous restaurant, reserve a famous seat and be our guest every day.

"Estebéd a Gundelben"

5.0
food: 5 service: 5 ambience: 5
A gondosan összeállított menüsorban szerepelt a legtöbb legendás (magyar 11) étel is. Osztályon felüli felszolgálás, kifinomult környezet, kellemes, békés, vasárnap délutáni hangulat. Az adagok megdöbbentően kiadósak voltak (minden egyes fogás); ha legközelebb jövünk, akkor aznap a reggelin kívül nem fogyasztunk mást, hogy hagyjunk helyet a finomságoknak. Nagy örömünkre szolgált, hogy (ha ugyan extra díjtétel mellett is, de) visszatért a klasszikus - lángoló - Gundel palacsinta. Bátran ajánlom mindenkinek, aki igazi gasztronómiai élményben szeretne részesülni.

Nagy csalódás volt ezúttal a Gundel. A kiszolgálás kritikán aluli, kezdő, gondolom nyári diákmunkásokat alkalmaznak. Az italokat kettőnknek nem egyszerre, hanem külön és kézben hozták. Az előétel elfogyasztása után amikor letették a főételt, szólni kellett, hogy vigyék el a tányérokat! A pincérek “kuckója” mellett kaptunk asztalt, onnan gyakori volt az evőeszközökkel való csörömpölés hangja. A főételek (rántott kacsa és a Dubarry csirke) felejthetőek, a kovászos uborkát vissza kellett küldeni, mert a közepe folyós volt. A zene kissé hangos volt, de ez volt a legkisebb baj! A 4000 forintos szervízdíj ezért a kiszolgálásért arcpirító szerintem a közel 30 ezer forintos számlából! A Gundel palacsinta finom volt, de ez minden a menüből! Ezt az estét kellemesebben is eltölthettük volna!
