Hungary’s National Restaurant Week

National Restaurant Week isn’t just another food promotion. It’s become this wonderful tradition where restaurants across Hungary roll out their red carpets (and their best dishes) for everyone to enjoy. We’re talking about places that might normally be out of reach, suddenly offering special menus that won’t break the bank. You get to eat like a food critic for a fraction of the usual cost.

Here’s where it gets really interesting. Participating restaurants craft special 3-course menus at standardized prices that are still incredibly reasonable: 6,900, 8,900, and 10,900 forints (including service charge!). For context, a regular dinner at many of these restaurants would normally cost you twice that amount – or more. These aren’t stripped-down “budget” versions either. Restaurants often include:

– Chef’s experimental dishes that might become permanent fixtures if people love them enough
– Seasonal ingredients showcased in creative ways
– Local wine pairings available as add-ons (because this is Hungary, after all!).

Sure, Budapest gets all the attention with its fancy restaurants and Instagram-worthy presentations. But some of the most memorable meals happen in smaller Hungarian towns during Restaurant Week.

Now, here’s the important bit – you can’t just show up and hope for the best. All reservations must be made through www.etteremhet.hu. Popular spots get booked solid within days, so don’t procrastinate.
