Hollywood Icon Zendaya Discovers Hidden Gem in Budapest: A Unique Restaurant with a Special Dish

Hollywood icon Zendaya discovered a hidden gem in Budapest: a unique restaurant where she made a special choice. Napfényes Restaurant, located at Ferenciek Square 2 and claiming to be the largest à la carte vegan restaurant in Central Europe, likely surprised even its own staff when none other than Zendaya—star of the Dune films and the teen-favourite series Shake It Up—walked through its doors.

Perfume, Cafés, and Cuisine: Zendaya Takes On the Hungarian Capital

We previously reported that the Hollywood star has been anything but a diva during her stay in Budapest. While in town, she has visited several spots and was even caught on a TikTok video bonding with a passer-by’s dog—who promptly gave her a friendly lick across the face.

Zendaya is in Hungary filming Dune: Messiah, the third instalment in the blockbuster franchise, working alongside Timothée Chalamet. Chalamet, along with Kardashians star Kylie Jenner, was recently spotted enjoying themselves at The The Garden Budapest Café and Restaurant, where they appreciated being left in peace.

Back to Zendaya. She’s been exploring Budapest solo, picking up perfume from the Neroli luxury perfumery on Andrássy Avenue and stopping by the Flatty café near St Stephen’s Basilica, where employees posted a photo with her. At every stop, she has been friendly and down-to-earth—chatting and snapping selfies with both staff and random passers-by.
