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.

                                                        Accoglienza fredda, come ovunque in Ungheria d'altronde. Cibo, vino e servizio buoni, i piatti erano curati e bilanciati nel sapore. I prezzi per noi sono un po eccessivi.. pensando che abbiamo mangiato su un tavolo dove non c'era una striscia di tovaglia, il tovagliolo di carta misurava pochi centimetri e ogni piccola fettina di pane ha un costo a parte.

                                                        The food was good, the waitress was nice with us, but on the bill we had a portion of bread misscharged, we told her and she gave us the money back for it. Overall a nice experience.

                                                        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.
