Farm-to-table Hungarian cuisine; inventive tasting menus


"In Budapest’s city center near the Danube, this rustic, well-run bistro occupies the ground floor of a grand block. Under Executive Chef János Mizsei—who joined 11 years ago, was entrusted with leading the kitchen a year later, has been on the Michelin Inspectors’ watch list for several years, and won the Michelin Young Chef Award—the cooking reflects skills learned at his grandmother’s side, including fermenting produce, which still plays a part in the dishes today." - Andrew Young

"MÁK is a farm-to-table restaurant in Budapest, offering Hungarian cuisine."

"From the talented chef to the welcoming service team, everyone immerses themselves in the seasonal ethos at this laid-back restaurant; Chef János Mizsei even takes time out to visit his small, artisan suppliers personally. The tasting menu moves around the country with the seasons – with winter highlighting the north and spring the east, etc. – and János looks to the Nordic kitchen to offer creative versions of classic Hungarian dishes that play with different texture and flavour combinations." - Michelin Inspector

"Mák serves excellent pickles and uses fermentation in many dishes, such as horseradish, tangerine peel, or fermented garlic." - Le Guide MICHELIN
