About the restaurant

Üdvözöljük a Risoban!
Éttermünk 2011 nyara óta van jelen a budai várnál. A ’Terrace’ szó nem hiába került bele az elnevezésbe, hiszen a vendégek valóban úgy érezhetik, hogy egy másik világba, idilli környezetbe csöppentek, elég helyet foglalni a buja zöld növényzettel körülölelt terasz asztalainál. A kerthelyiség szinteltolásos építészeti kialakítása, a felső részen helyet kapott grillkonyha, a kényelmesen és tágasan elhelyezett bútorzat otthonos hangulatot teremt.
Welcome to Riso!
Our guests can indeed feel that they got into another world, an idealistic scene, it is enough to take a seat at the tables of the terrace surrounded by lush, growing greens. The leveled architectural design of the terrace, the higher level of the grill kitchen, the comfortably and loosely placed furniture, creates an intimate and also cozy feeling.

About the restaurant

„ …The most Italian Italian…”
One of our primary goals is to attract a clientele who like traditional Italian cousine and find a homely ambience important
Since we have opened our Italian countryside style restaurant in 2007, our continuous hard work, improvements and self-development have helped us reach a point where we can truly be proud of our freshly made pastas, which are prepared using the best Italian ingredients and the most modern equipment
Our pizza dough recipe follows such an ancient technique that is only used by a few today, mainly due to its time consuming nature
According to an old teaching it’s impossible to firm the knowledge of something that we don’t know, therefore training and continuously educating our colleagues is an important part of our daily routine…!
You can only love what you know...

About the restaurant

Autentikus görög bisztro, kortárs térben várja szeretettel a mediterrán életérzés és a görög gasztronómia kedvelőit.

A görög séfek vezette látványkonyhás bisztro hagyományos, sok esetben mégis újragondolt tengeri fogásokat és görög,hegyvidéki ételeket kínál.

A görög vendészeretet, a gondosan válogatott alapanyagok és a jó társaságban 'együtt' eltöltött idő a Mazi filozófiája.

Mely törekvés vezetett el az "AUTHENTIC GREEK CUISINE GOLDEN AWARDS 2022 - GREEK TASTE BEYOND BORDERS GTBB" elismeréshez.

The guy who served us was so kind and help me a lot with all my allergies and my request for the birthday, also the chef was very kind and help me a lot to let me eat good and healthy for my allergy problem. We ordered all different dishes and everything was super good! I will sure reccommend them and when I'll be back in Budapest they will be for sure my first choice again! Thank you everyone!

About the restaurant

Hello Budapest,
My name is Leo, Your Highness.
We haven’t met yet, but I finally have arrived to Budapest and I would like to let you in some secrets about me, just to make sure you will recognize me when the time will come. I have a very strong feeling about you and me spending this summer together.
So, who am I…
I am coming from a large and highly sophisticated family, but if I am honest I was always the black sheep around. Nothing serious - of course, I mean from my part. :P I am eager to swim against the flow and to do what others may not even dream or think of trying.
I love to travel, to get to know other cultures and people from all around the world. I love to eat…oh my God all those amazing flavors and colors of the world.
So, I highly recommend you not to leave me hanging and meet me at the top of Hotel Clark , where I can show you the most amazing view to our gorgeous city.
See you at my roof, Leo, Your Highness

About the restaurant

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.

It was difficult to find a same-day reservation at any restaurant in Budapest so w were happy when we found a spot at Kismező. With all our searching we were just glad to finally have some place to eat but what a surprise and a delight to eat here! We were warmly welcomed upon entry and the staff were all friendly and professional. The ambiance is nice and casually cool - stylish with an open kitchen. Food was served relatively quickly and it was all delicious. We had the pumpkin soup, goulash, salad with grilled ricotta and the chicken stew which was like pulled chicken inside a dumpling, along with desserts. We absolutely recommend Kismező and wish we were staying in Budapest longer so we would have a chance to return.

We did not have food but dry roasted peanuts were offered and accepted, the drinks were exceptional and cocktails were of the highest order, French 75 made with champagne and Sydney apple conjured even though it was not on the list - a top venue
