Gundel, Allatkerti ut 2,
City Park, 1140, 03213550
De-luxe restaurant, Hungarian, 150
Many will say that this is the Budapest premier restaurant. In many ways it is as this is the place where Karoly Gundel reinvented Hungarian cuisine at the beginning of the last century.
After being appallingly treated under communism, Gundel has been reinvented by George Lang. This is the place for the elegant Hungarian experience. The locals will tell you that the food is not that good and the service can be iffy, but at the end of the day Gundels is Gundels and therefore it is must for many visitors..........and why not? It is an experience to savour.

When I was in Budapest and My Friend George first re-opened the Gundel I was for ever upsetting him because I would never say that
everything was wonderful. I never thought it was bad: just it could be better. You can read my original comments about Gundel in the Eastern Europe section HERE
