Stand Restaurant

Stand Restaurant is the fine dining project of local celebrity chef-duo, Szabina Szulló and Tamás Széll, and follows the success of Stand25, their acclaimed restaurant on the Buda side. Here too, their success was almost immediate: accolades quickly poured in, and the restaurant won two Michelin stars in 2022, within a few years of opening.

It is the updated Hungarian classics that stand out from the eight-course tasting menu. It may be a fish soup, a traditional Danubian peasant fare, served in a paprika-laced broth and drizzled with tortellini-like envelopes stuffed with smoked carp. The most striking dish is the sterlet, a small species of sturgeon; the delicately rolled-up fish is topped with roe and drenched in a luscious clam sauce. One can observe the meticulous prep work that goes into these elaborate plates through the open kitchen where an army of cooks scuttle about.

The eight-course dinner tasting menu will set you back €230 per person (€400 if you opt for wine pairing). The wine program, overseen by head-sommelier János Gervai who is a winemaker himself, features bottles from the major Hungarian wine regions.
