Michelin-starred restaurant with modern Hungarian cuisine & 200 wines
"While it would be easy to do, to pass by this unassuming-looking restaurant near the Basilica would be a mistake. The kitchen here sources top-class ingredients, treats them with the utmost respect and allows them to shine. Subtle Hungarian influences run throughout dishes which are well-conceived, skilfully executed and have a notable intensity of flavour. There is an à la carte, but go for the tasting menu for the best experience. Wines are key here too: they offer 100 labels, including some of Hungary’s top producers, with many available by the glass." - Michelin Inspector
"This Michelin-starred downtown restaurant is known best for the visually striking and technically precise dishes prepared under the direction of executive chef Ákos Sárközi. Since the restaurant opened in 2010, the duck liver starter and the Mangalica pork tenderloins have remained mainstays on the menu. Although pricey, Borkonyha has a bistro-like vibe that’s more casual than other fine dining restaurants in Budapest." - Tas Tobias

"Borkonyhá Winekitchen One of Budapest 's Michelin-starred restaurants, this blend of a French-style bistro and a contemporary boite offers new takes on traditional Hungarian cuisine in an airy, elegant dining room. Ingredients in dishes like piglet shoulder with black pudding and chestnut, are sourced locally or come from nearby regions in Central Europe. The name Winekitchen is by no means an afterthought—the restaurant's concept is based on a vast and broad list of 200 largely Hungarian wines (48 of them available by the glass), perfect food presentation, and an elegant, professional atmosphere that makes any foodie want to linger."
"A Michelin-starred restaurant with a frequently changing menu; when seasonal, traditional dishes like lecsó appear as elevated accompaniments to steak and sausage, reflecting a modern, ingredient-focused take on Hungarian cuisine." - Carolyn Bánfalvi
