Salt

"Within a boutique hotel sits this small, sophisticated restaurant, whose open kitchen forms an integral part of the stylishly lit room. Shelves are full of jars containing colourfully preserved foraged fruits, vegetables and herbs, and the butter, lardo and Mangalitsa ham are all produced in-house. The surprise set menu is made up of intricate, exquisitely constructed dishes – many of which are updated versions of classic Hungarian recipes – and tables all face the wood-clad ‘pass’, where the chefs assemble the dishes with skill and dexterity." - Michelin Inspector

Four Hands Dinner: A Celebration of Hungarian Cuisine

"Szilárd Tóth is the chef and co-owner of Salt restaurant in Budapest, a sophisticated spot within a boutique hotel, which was awarded One Michelin Star in 2021. Szilárd’s cooking is inspired by his birthplace, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, and evokes a familial, childhood nostalgia. He believes that Hungarian gastronomy today could not exist without Hungarian traditions. Many of the dishes on the menu at Salt are updated versions of traditional Hungarian recipes, which use classic ingredient combinations in new ways." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

Some dishes are very nice but some other average or basic. For the rate they charge I had higher expectations and was expecting better overall dining experience. Loved the mushroom dish and the deserts at the end. Still, a really nice environment and very good service but I think they need to revisit the menu and also ask for feedback from their guest in a genuine manner and not pretend that their menu is unquestionable.

The food was good although a bit too sour for my taste (and I got some belly aches after), everything being very professional doneand I really enjoyed the presentation they gave us for each course. Everything went very smooth and I did not realize when 3 hours have passed. One note that I would have is that when we were served a new wine (we got the local wine pairing which I can definitely recommend), the presentation of the wine was on a fast forward manner, like they just wanted to be over with it. They also used a lot of terms which I did not know (maybe because I am not a pro when it comes to wine tasting) but I would have liked it more if they would have presented this in a way that people with less knowledge in this field would gain more.

The restaurant is cozy and well presented. The staff are polite and well educated on the exact details of each meal. The chef ensures each meal that goes out is perfect. 14 Courses and a Juice pairing for Two, came to €560/£440/201,000HUF, for reference. If I could do it again, I would likely drop the juice pairing as only a couple were particularly memorable. I'm sure they work for other diners, but just not for us. Potato Cake and Chicken Broth was excellent, as was the pork and beetroot, and the rice pudding dessert was my partner's personal favourite. Lastly, they called on the day to confirm any dietary requirements, my partner cannot have pork, the restaurant catered to this, adjusting her menu to suit. All in all, I would recommend a visit if you are in Budapest and can stretch your budget a bit.

We had a refined and enjoyable dining experience overall. The dishes leading up to dessert were beautifully executed and full of flavor. The service was impeccable - special thanks to *Benedek for his unwavering patience and deep knowledge of the wine pairings, which added a great deal to the evening. However, it was disappointing to see that about 80% of the menu was identical to what we were served the previous year. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, we expected a more dynamic seasonal change. It seems that visiting once per season (summer–autumn) is enough for good, as the menu does not appear to evolve significantly within that time frame. The desserts, unfortunately, were a real letdown this time - none of them truly impressed us in terms of taste. This was in stark contrast to last year, when the dessert course stood out as a highlight, especially the vegetable-inspired ice cream, which was both surprising and delicious. This time, the final course felt uninspired and fell short of the standard set by the rest of the meal. The Hungarian wine selection, however, was well-chosen and very enjoyable.

We had a wonderful, wonderful meal at Salt. Every course was really tasty and unique and we left feeling satiated but not stuffed and unwell (a feat for 14 courses!). The flavors were clean and clear, but memorable and powerful. I did the Hungarian wine pairing and my husband, who doesn’t drink, was surprised and impressed by the non-alcoholic pairing option. Everything was very intentional and thoughtful, and the service was great. If you’re into Michelin restaurants, I’d absolutely recommend Salt. We’d be thrilled to return and were very excited to have celebrated a birthday and our honeymoon there.

A very cozy and stylish restaurant with nice and friendly ambitions staff as you rarely find anywhere, but There is always a but But this doesn’t exclude the food quality The food is superbly excellent, full of ideas with a touch of tradition woven in. A menu is diligently styled, exciting, never boring and always some surprises. This is one of two gems in Budapest Congratulations from us who visited many many restaurants.
