Arany Kaviár Étterem

"French and Russian influences guide the cooking here, with dishes ranging from the simple to the ambitious. Sit in the opulent, richly appointed dining room or the more modern extension which opens out onto the garden to sample the Chef’s Menu – or book the Chef’s Table to sample the more creative World Table Menu instead. Hungarian and Siberian caviar is a speciality, with plenty of options to choose from and two caviar tasting experiences are available to kick off your meal." - Michelin Inspector

MICHELIN Guide Budapest : discover three unusual fine-dining restaurants

"A real Budapest classic on the Buda side, this 1986-founded fine-dining restaurant keeps its intimate charm—rich draperies, a secret garden, and an impressive wall of Hungarian and international wines—even as the kitchen quietly revolutionizes tradition. Dinner can begin with a playful, educational caviar tasting: five roes, from trout to Iranian Beluga, eaten from the back of your hand to bring them to the right temperature. Since 2020, Head of R&D José Guerrero has been collaborating with Head Chef László Kanász on science-driven projects—farm-to-table research with Blue Hill, eye-tracking with a neuroscientist to map diners’ brain vibrations, and an app-controlled indoor garden—open-source knowledge they aim to share with Hungarian chefs. The creativity shows on the plate and, thanks to Kanász’s Balaton roots, it’s one of Budapest’s rare fine-dining spots for excellent fish and seafood: lobster tail, seaweed salad with almond jelly, and urchins; a Gillardeau oyster brightened with paprika and finger-lime pops citrusy and tart against iodine-rich brine. The experience is theatrical and fun: beef tartar is assembled with tweezers tableside, a whole roasted pigeon arrives in a wooden box with an exquisite new potato emulsion, and dessert appears as a tower hiding visually stunning sweets—a true feast for the eyes." - Le Guide MICHELIN
