About the restaurant

Üdvözöljük a Risoban!
Éttermünk 2011 nyara óta van jelen a budai várnál. A ’Terrace’ szó nem hiába került bele az elnevezésbe, hiszen a vendégek valóban úgy érezhetik, hogy egy másik világba, idilli környezetbe csöppentek, elég helyet foglalni a buja zöld növényzettel körülölelt terasz asztalainál. A kerthelyiség szinteltolásos építészeti kialakítása, a felső részen helyet kapott grillkonyha, a kényelmesen és tágasan elhelyezett bútorzat otthonos hangulatot teremt.
Welcome to Riso!
Our guests can indeed feel that they got into another world, an idealistic scene, it is enough to take a seat at the tables of the terrace surrounded by lush, growing greens. The leveled architectural design of the terrace, the higher level of the grill kitchen, the comfortably and loosely placed furniture, creates an intimate and also cozy feeling.

About the restaurant

„ …The most Italian Italian…”
One of our primary goals is to attract a clientele who like traditional Italian cousine and find a homely ambience important
Since we have opened our Italian countryside style restaurant in 2007, our continuous hard work, improvements and self-development have helped us reach a point where we can truly be proud of our freshly made pastas, which are prepared using the best Italian ingredients and the most modern equipment
Our pizza dough recipe follows such an ancient technique that is only used by a few today, mainly due to its time consuming nature
According to an old teaching it’s impossible to firm the knowledge of something that we don’t know, therefore training and continuously educating our colleagues is an important part of our daily routine…!
You can only love what you know...

About the restaurant

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.

It is a restaurant worth visiting in Budapest, to try local food but with an international touch. The street is pedestrian so eating out is nice.

About the restaurant

Hello Budapest,
My name is Leo, Your Highness.
We haven’t met yet, but I finally have arrived to Budapest and I would like to let you in some secrets about me, just to make sure you will recognize me when the time will come. I have a very strong feeling about you and me spending this summer together.
So, who am I…
I am coming from a large and highly sophisticated family, but if I am honest I was always the black sheep around. Nothing serious - of course, I mean from my part. :P I am eager to swim against the flow and to do what others may not even dream or think of trying.
I love to travel, to get to know other cultures and people from all around the world. I love to eat…oh my God all those amazing flavors and colors of the world.
So, I highly recommend you not to leave me hanging and meet me at the top of Hotel Clark , where I can show you the most amazing view to our gorgeous city.
See you at my roof, Leo, Your Highness

About the restaurant

ARAZ Restaurant, nestled in Budapest's vibrant 7th district near the Great Synagogue and Szimpla Kert, is a trendy spot for Hungarian specialities. We await our dear guests with a varied, delicious lunch menu, seasonal gastronomic specialties, unique wine dinners, and much more! While located at the center of the bustling city, the inner terrace of the restaurant feels far away from all its noise.
A delicate, elaborately designed interior space, the exciting menu, which tastefully combines the atmosphere of the turn of the century and the modern global cuisine of today, and a quiet and shady terrace located in District VII (the corner of Dohány and Nyár Streets) welcome the guests in the Restaurant ARAZ. Since the restaurant's opening in 2010, the team has been strengthened by Áron Barka, Chef de Cuisine, who has been awarded the bronze medal by the international gastronomic order Chaine de Rotisseurs.
In addition parking is free during the meal in our Nyár utca underground garage.
