"At Costes, Jenő and his team blend innovation and tradition, fusing unique Hungarian ingredients with international influences." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Set on the ground floor of the Prestige Hotel, this strikingly decorated restaurant brings nature inside with its living wall and ceiling. Ask for one of the booths or sit at the chef’s table for a view of the kitchen. Set tasting menus offer modern interpretations of Hungarian favourites, with some ambitious flavour combinations and the occasional Asian influence." - Michelin Inspector
"A Michelin-starred Budapest restaurant experimented with a pandemic-era concept by serving a one-night, four-course meal aboard the Budapest Eye; owner Karoly Gerendai said the ferris wheel’s separate cabins solved the seating issue, though cabins weren’t heated so guests used blankets, and Gerendai plans to repeat the idea when the weather is warmer." - Jaya Saxena
"Costes' more relaxed younger sister is set on the ground floor of the Prestige Hotel; ask for one of the booths or a table with a view of the kitchen. Quality produce comes from local suppliers and the creative modern dishes are full of colour, with distinct textures and flavours." - Kenneth Goh
"A sophisticated restaurant with immaculately dressed tables, run by a confident, experienced service team. The talented chef uses modern techniques and a deft touch to produce accomplished, innovative dishes with clear flavours. Most diners choose the four- to seven-course set menus and their interesting wine pairings." - Kenneth Goh
