Where to Find the Best of the Luxurious Gastronomy in Budapest?

Set within the Matild Palace in Budapest, 'Spago by Wolfgang Puck' brings a playful Californian dining concept to a Hungarian setting. Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck offers straightforward yet perfectly executed dishes, such as his famous pastas.

Transitioning from Beverly Hills to Budapest has been a grand move for Spago. Located in a sophisticated setting, this venue promises an exquisite dining experience already at the forefront of Budapest's gastronomic scene. The fusion of Californian cuisine with local culinary skills, incorporating Hungarian traditions, creates an unprecedented culinary journey.

As a worldwide-renowned industry leader and trendsetter, Wolfgang Puck has introduced a brand new gastronomic culture to Budapest with Spago. The terrace experience at Spago, available year-round, complements this offering, allowing visitors to enjoy an exquisite outdoor dining experience, even in the rain.

The central glass-walled kitchen at Stand is a captivating spectacle, offering a bird's-eye view of the chefs at work, reflecting the dynamism and passion that define their culinary approach. Dishes such as sterlet fillet and charcoal-grilled venison saddle showcase a commitment to culinary excellence and the modernization of Hungarian classics.

Stand's founder, chef Tamás Széll, prides himself on precision, a trait that led him to win the prestigious Bocuse d'Or competition in 2016. The tasting menu, exclusively composed of six or eight courses, features exquisitely crafted dishes that highlight the quality and authenticity of Hungarian ingredients.

Stand is not just about providing a gastronomic experience; it is also committed to sustainable development and close collaboration with Hungarian producers, favoring a terroir approach that is evident in every dish. This commitment to excellence was recognized with a Michelin star just nine months after opening, and further celebrated with two Michelin stars in 2022.
