How the prices are counted
Per person, before service
Every figure is for one guest. Menu prices include VAT. Most upscale Budapest restaurants add a 10–15% service charge (szervizdíj) to the bill, so no further tip is needed; elsewhere a tip of around 10% is usual. Supplements such as caviar are left out. Prices shown in other currencies use the day's exchange rate and are approximate.
Where prices come from
Dinner is the restaurant's main tasting menu, and wine is its wine pairing where one is offered. Prices come from each restaurant's own website and menus; restaurants that don't publish them are still to be priced.
Stars and Google rating
The Google reviews score out of 5 and the number of reviews, checked in October 2026. Stars come from the latest MICHELIN Guide covering Hungary.
