Скачать или смотреть Musicians in Gundel restaurant in Budapest (Hungary), Jan / 2017

The name GUNDEL could rightly stand for the history of modern Hungarian gastronomy and hospitality. Károly Gundel refined the Hungarian cuisine and created delicious dishes of his own taste. His pioneering work placed Hungary on the world map of gastronomy. The New York Times wrote that the Gundel Restaurant did more for Hungary’s reputation than a shipload of tourist brochures.

Károly Gundel also documented gastronomic history. He collected local recipes all over the Carpathian Basin as Hungary’s world famous composers Kodály and Bartok recorded Hungarian folk music. He is the author of cook books translated into dozens of languages.

The Restaurant earned his shine since Károly Gundel opened this house in 1910. Its reputation was strong enough to survive the stormy decades of war and communist nationalisation. Having been privatised in 1992 the GUNDEL took back its deserved position in Hungary as the country’s leading restaurant.

Genuine Hungarian food or a selection of international dishes are offered to the guests with immaculate service in an unparalleled atmosphere. The Gundel Band plays to satisfy the highest expectations in a hall decorated with the finest paintings of the best Hungarian masters. A careful selection of wines from all Hungarian resorts as well as from all over the world will make one's meal there a memorable event.

Many famous guests have dined in Gundel since 1910. They include several Presidents and Prime Ministers of Hungary, prominent politicians, scientists, artists, writers and Olympic champions, as well as some of the most famous people of our world, including Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Pope John Paul II.The acclaimed actor, Zoltán Latinovits, who is also referred to as the Actor King, was born on the first floor of the Gundel House as the grandson of Károly Gundel.
