"In 2010, Costes was recognized by the biggest acknowledgement for restaurants: a Michelin star. Small wonder it has been a popular hot spot ever since, for locals and tourists alike. A must-see for fans of fine dining and wines (Costes offers more than 300 varieties of Hungarian wines), but make sure to book a table in advance when coming for dinner." - Budapest Design Week

"Elegance and sophistication lead the way at Costes, from the smart décor to the well-orchestrated service. Ask for a seat to the front of the main room for a feeling of space, then enjoy the eager anticipation as the sommelier presents an exceptional, mostly Hungarian wine selection. The modern 7 course tasting menu skilfully combines flavours from around the globe to create memorable dishes which not only look stunning with their bright colours and artistic style, but are packed with vibrant, complementary flavours." - Michelin Inspector

The place could be a bit better. The chef knows what he/she is doing, the food was lovely, ingredients according with the season. Didn't like that I paid similar price as customers taking the wine pairing when I ordered only a glass of red wine and one of champagne (41€) Vs. 91 € for 7 drinks. The petit four came with 3 only 😁. The free cake for Birthday doesn't worth the calories bland taste of clouds.

Costes and the staff FAR exceeded my expectations. Starting with Mara emailing me during the day to double check my allergy and the details. From the moment I arrived, Ekish opened the door for me like he was expecting my arrival and made me feel immediately welcome. Ekish and Arai provided top notch service all night, answering all my silly questions - food related and otherwise! Peter served up delicious wines all night long. Some of the food was a bit outside my comfort zone but all of it was incredible! Delicious, surprising, decadent. To my delight, I had the table near the bar with a slight view of back of house operations & they indulged every inquiry I came up with. At the end of my dining experience, they even took me to see the kitchen & meet the sous chef, Noel (executive chef had already left). I felt like I was inside an episode of the TV show the Bear all night and I could not have been happier. Joy was definitely on the menu at Costes. It was super clear that they would do anything in their power to make a good experience for me and I loved every moment. Highly recommend.

We’ve dined at Michelin star restaurants around the world and this has to be up there as a favourite. Food was innovative, refined, technically complex, and a visual feast. Well matched wine pairings that celebrated local wine-making skills. Professional service and elegant understated ambiance that matched the food. The chawanmushi reminded us of our past life in Asia and the cheesecake was a perfect palate cleanser before the theatrical dessert. Hard to pick a fav dish here but probably the surprising tomato salad - it was just so well balanced and lively, every flavour brought to life - beautifully presented. Thanks to chef Jenõ Rácz and the service team: Kitti and Ekish

Had the tasting menu, which was a lot more than just 7 courses! (Counted 12 at the end). The food was amazingly served - detailed oriented at the highest quality. The flavor was excellent, not too sufisticated, and easy to connect to. We asked for 1 glass of wine per person, and they paired it wonderfuly with the entire meal. The service was of curse excellen, and the restaurant itself was beautiful.

The kitchen staff solved our complicated set of allergies for the entire, super complex tasting menu, and the waiters did an amazing job throughout the evening. A really memorable experience - thank you!

Went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. The service was amazing. The food was very tasty with some nice and interesting twists along the way. The cocktails were also very good. The little surprise cake for the birthday celebration was nice.

What an absolute amazing experience to dine at Costes. The food is beautiful and delicious and the staff were so informative and accommodating throughout the whole experience. I am not sure how they knew I just celebrated my birthday but they gave me an extra dessert with a candle wishing me a happy birthday. Not only was the food delicious the wine and the drinks were of the highest quality. We had such an incredible experience and such a fun time. Definitely our recommendation worthy.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Costes last night. The Mangalica pork was astonishingly delicious😋, I wish I could have had more pieces of this pork. The tasted of its goose liver is the best I have ever had👍 Staff Kitty and Tommy were attentive and very friendly to guests, who told me Costes was the first Michelin starred restaurant in Hungary in 2010, and kept being starred since then. The first time for me to have Tokaji Aszu wine after Tommy’s recommendation , it’s really really good, I was so happy not missing it. Overall, this restaurant is highly recommended. I wish I would come back again soon!
