The history of the Gundel dynasty is one with the history of Hungarian gastronomy and catering. Károly Gundel applied modern technology with genius to Hungarian cuisine at the turn of the century, and his pioneering work put Hungary on the world culinary map. The new dishes composed by Gundel family and the restaurant's chefs and pastry chefs - Palóc soup, Újházi’s Chicken Soup, Kárpáti fogas, Sponge Cake Somló Style, Cottage Cheese Pastry Rákóczi Style- have become indispensable dishes of Hungarian cuisine and, as a restaurant respecting tradition, it still offers them today based on original recipes. This ensures that not only Hungarian, but also foreign guests can experience the culture of Hungarian cuisine in an authentic way. 

 

Nearly 130 years after its opening, the Gundel restaurant is still operating in the same place and under the same name, where everything is about heritage, which is, among other things, the location of the restaurant, the cradle of Hungarian gastronomy, where guests are welcomed with outstanding service, a high level of hospitality and an unforgettable experience. In this way, faithfully following the tradition and credo of Károly Gundel's hospitality. Hungary's most famous and only Hungarikum restaurant is now an unmissable place, the most famous and must see place in Budapest and Hungarian gastronomy!

 

The renewed Gundel, built with the slogan "Back to the roots", has brought back the atmosphere of the old days in both the interior and the garden, creating a space that pays homage to the golden age of Gundel, while at the same time offering the opportunity to be open to the widest possible range of people at all times of the day, for all occasions.  The restaurant will present the significant culinary heritage of our country, both nationally and internationally, and will offer an insight into the past and present of Hungarian gastronomy.
