Tasting menus of gourmet fish, meat, and Hungarian wines
"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, from smart décor to well‑orchestrated service and vibrant global dishes; retains its One Michelin Star." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Situated at the crossroads of the Carpathian Basin’s culinary traditions, this kitchen fuses uniquely Hungarian ingredients—world‑famous red peppers, mangalitsa pork, grey cattle, and túró—with international techniques. I heard from chef‑owner Jenő Rácz that the team builds on tradition while innovating, bending rules without breaking them, with examples like a French onion consommé served alongside parsley root gnocchi ripieni and ox cheek, and a crowd‑favorite sorrel dessert reimagined with white chocolate. Inspiration comes from nature and from the chefs’ experiences working across continents, underpinned by a strong culinary foundation learned from world‑famous Michelin‑Starred chefs." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"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
