Located just steps from Váci Street in the heart of the city centre, SIMALIBA Belvárosi Csárda is one of those places where traditional Hungarian hospitality is more than just a theme – it is part of everyday life. With summer now in full swing, both the terrace and the menu have embraced the season, making it an inviting spot for a leisurely lunch or a relaxed evening meal. Those in search of lighter flavours can start with a blackberry soup served with fresh fruit and plum kernel oil, while fans of classic Hungarian cuisine can opt for goose soup with matzo balls and stuffed goose neck. Among the seasonal highlights, the crispy pike-perch strips served in the traditional korhely style with black rice and fish paprika sauce offer a fresh take on summer dining.

From Thursday to Sunday, the experience is elevated further with live music between 7 pm and 10 pm, as Hungarian musicians provide the soundtrack to an authentic atmosphere. More than simply a restaurant, SIMALIBA offers a summer meeting place where seasonal Hungarian dishes, live music and timeless hospitality come together to create a distinctly Budapest experience.

Gundel Restaurant
Rather than a summer-opening celebration, Gundel Restaurant has opted to mark the end of the season with a special event, embracing the idea that some evenings are simply too good to end too soon. On 18 September, the restaurant’s enchanting garden will host Gundel Tündérliget – The Garden of Lights, an atmospheric late-summer gathering where magical illuminations, elegant surroundings and unforgettable experiences come together. Beneath the towering horse chestnut trees, guests can wander among light installations, enjoy live music and dance performances, and indulge in culinary delights as the garden transforms into a fairy-tale world for one night only. The evening will be hosted by Kata Dobó, while music from Gábor Garami and his band, alongside entertainment that continues into the early hours, will set the tone for the celebration. Combining dazzling lights, live music and the unmistakable elegance of late summer, the event promises an atmosphere guests will wish they could carry with them into autumn. As the gates of Tündérliget open only once a year, those wishing to be part of this unique evening are advised to secure their place well in advance.

This summer, every evening brings a different musical atmosphere aboard Spoon The Boat, where the terrace floating on the Danube transforms night after night.

From groove-filled guitar melodies and smooth saxophone lines to the vibrant energy of an electric violin and the intimate sounds of a piano, the programme offers a constantly evolving musical backdrop. Alongside the entertainment, guests can explore a Danube-inspired culinary concept that brings together flavours from the river’s surrounding regions through a contemporary urban bistro approach, while still honouring beloved classics.
