About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
Macesz Bistro is an Eastern European bistro in the Old Jewish district of Budapest. It offers the hidden and well known treasures of the Hungarian and Jewish cuisines, with traditional and reimagined courses for their guests. The continuously updated menu is ensured by chef Ákos Tasnádi, beyond the á la carte assortment the daily offer’s seasonal specialties diversify the selection.

We take great care of assembling the wine list, offering from the best domestic wineries with some specialities.

We reopened Macesz after the pandemic in the spring of 2022. We can not wait to meet again our haunters and new guests as well.

The restaurant is suitable for exclusive events with up to 60 people as well.

Macesz Bistro is one of the most exciting culinary spots in downtown Budapest, an excellent choice for a romantic dinner, a family lunch or a business meeting.

    There were 5 of us, the restaurant was pleasant, service great. A busload of tourists arrived, and the noise level increased, making conversation difficult. Otherwise, everything was great

    Great atmosphere - interesting mix of Hungarian and Jewish dishes - good flavours - but the dishes could have been executed with a little more finesse, particularly the goose which had not been reheated particularly well

    A maceszgombóc leves itt a legfinomabb! Persze minden más is szuper, a kiszolgálás, a környezet, meg a többi fogás is.

    Locale con atmosfera carina. L'antipasto misto non era entusiasmante. Molto buona invece la zuppa di verdure. Conto un po' caro.
