Welcome to Kismező!

An authentic Hungarian restaurant in the heart of Budapest, nestled under the shade of a plane tree, situated on the iconic street of fashion, music, theatre, and contemporary art. The menu features characteristic and beloved dishes from Upper Hungary, Transylvania, the Great Plain, and Southern Hungary, prepared with traditional recipes and local ingredients, presented sometimes in a modern style and sometimes in a rustic fashion. By day, it's an exciting and vibrant bistro; by night, a quiet and cosy dinner spot where families and groups can explore the culinary delights of Hungary's hidden or distant regions. At Kismező, you can embark on a unique wine tour featuring excellent selections from the eastern wine regions of Hungary: wines from the Mátra, Eger, Bükk, Tokaj, Transylvania, and the Great Plain wine regions, including ancient Hungarian grape varieties and trendy cuveés, are showcased on the wine, sparkling wine, and pálinka menu.

Overall the experience was excellent. Sadly there were a few items on the menu which were unavailable but there was still plenty of choice. I had the pork knuckle, an Oktoberfest special and my companion had the stuffed cabbage leaves - both were delicious and delicate with plenty of flavour and seasoned perfectly. The accompanying wine was delicious. We tried the traditional Transylvanian dessert which was interesting and not to my partners taste but I enjoyed it. The vibe was great and the ability to watch the open chefs finishing station added an extra experience. I would absolutely recommend this as a dining experience to anyone.

Die Bedienung ist eher hochnäsig. Nach dem ich mit einem Messer beim Abräumen getroffen wurde gab es nicht mal eine Entschuldigung. Die Erwartung bei der Preisklasse wurde durch die Küche nicht erfüllt. Zu wenig, zu kalt und es war nichts von ungarischer Küche zu spüren. Meine Empfehlung: Geht woanders essen !!
