The latest list of Hungarian restaurants included in the Michelin Guide in 2023

BudapestGreater Budapest

If you want a truly amazing gastronomic experience, you should book a table at one of Hungary's Michelin Guide restaurants. Luckily, you can do this in more and more places around Hungary.

In 2023, seventy-five Hungarian restaurants are on the Michelin Guide Hungary list: 28 are located in Budapest and 47 in cities, towns and villages outside the capital. No stars were lost this year. All the establishments that had them, kept them. But no new stars were awarded either, although Villa Kabala in Szigliget entered the restaurant guide with a green star.

Quick summary

There was no change compared to 2022. Hungary has two two-star restaurants and seven one-star establishments, but the guide now features seven (one new one) Bib Gourmand restaurants and 59 other recommended restaurants, with 14 of the latter being newcomers. This year, not four, but five restaurants received a Michelin green star for their commitment to sustainability.

Two stars twice

Platán Gourmet in Tata and Stand in Budapest retained their two Michelin star awards in 2023. You probably remember that it was a huge sensation last year that the restaurant in Tata immediately debuted with two stars in the Hungarian Michelin guide, which was expanded to include restaurants outside Budapest.

Stand, Budapest

Platán Gourmet, Budapest

One star seven times

All the seven restaurants receiving a star in the 2022 guide have retained their award, so they can wear their star for at least another year. These seven restaurants are: Babel, Borkonyha Winekitchen, essência, Rumour and Salt in Budapest and 42 in Esztergom.

More and more green Michelin stars

In addition to Bib Gourmand, the Hungarian list brought a change in terms of green stars, as the four previously recognised restaurants were able to retain the sustainability award in 2023, and there is a new one on the list:

Almalomb, Hosszúhetény

Graefl Major Kétútköz, Poroszló

Onyx Műhely, Budapest

Salt, Budapest

and the newcomer is Villa Kabala in Szigliget

Hungary's newest Green Star restaurant, Villa Kabala, works exclusively with ingredients from its own vegetable garden and from local farmers. They make their own bread, jam, ham and beer, and they have an exclusive family winery on the hill opposite.
