THE FIRST SINCE 2010
Costes Restaurant opened its doors in 2008 on Ráday Street, which is one of Budapest’s most exciting gastronomic spots. After two years of tireless work, we earned the title of the country’s first Michelin-star restaurant in 2010, which we have proudly and continuosly held ever since.
And what is our secret, you may ask? Respect for tradition and passion for innovation. The use of first-class raw materials, the work of professional, experienced hands, and the fact that being the first is always a big responsibility. Together, these things make our food truly unique and special.
Our dishes are characterized by bohemian elegance, and sometimes we sneak in a surprising avant-garde twist as well. We look forward to welcoming you, if you would like to take part in an unforgettable gastronomic adventure, visit us and enrich yourself with a real Michelin-starred experience!
