ÉS Bisztró

Hungarian-Viennese bistro & steakhouse

ÉS Bisztró offers an elevated bistro-style dining experience, serving as a refined culinary destination in downtown Budapest.

Rich, updated Hungarian-Viennese cuisine. Budapest and Vienna at One Table.

ÉS Bisztró presents a fresh and effortless interpretation of Hungarian and Viennese cuisine. ÉS, meaning ‘and’ in Hungarian, is more than a conjunction – it is a philosophy; tradition and modernity, bistro and steakhouse, relaxed and refined.

Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, ÉS Bisztró, a popular restaurant in Budapest city centre, reinterprets contemporary Hungarian and Viennese cuisine in a manner that feels both authentic and effortless. It is not bound by rigid dining conventions or the typical all-day hotel restaurant format; instead, guests are invited to experience the menu at their own pace and according to their preferences.

The restaurant’s offering unfolds in three parts: small plates and nibbles for sharing, beloved Hungarian and Viennese classics and expertly grilled meats and fish. The kitchen is guided by a deep respect for local ingredients, carefully sourced from sustainable producers. An expertly curated selection of regional and international wines, alongside beers, completes the experience.

Whether for a quick business lunch, a leisurely dinner filled with conversation or a weekend family gathering, ÉS delivers precisely what it was envisioned to be: a beloved local institution for Budapest residents and a culinary discovery for visitors.

 ÉS Bisztró Terrace

– Great Outdoors in Budapest City Centre

From spring to autumn, the striking two-storey terrace at ÉS Bisztró opens onto the vibrant atmosphere of the city centre. This inviting outdoor extension allows guests to enjoy the restaurant’s elevated bistro-style dining experience while taking in the surrounding urban landscape.

It is an ideal setting for a relaxed meal, a business lunch or simply enjoying the heart of Budapest under the open sky. During the Advent season, the terrace transforms into a sought-after winter hotspot on the beautifully illuminated Fashion Street.

At ÉS Bisztró, it is never about choosing between; it is always about bringing elements together.
