Index reported Dining Guide’s list of the best restaurants. On February 25, Dining Guide held its annual Volkswagen Dining Guide Ball when, besides announcing the best restaurants in Hungary, several other awards were given. The main prize was given to Stand Restaurant and to its directors Tamás Széll and Szabina Szulló. The confectionery of the year award was presented to Mihályi Patisserie – same last year – and the best alternative restaurant award is the Pizza, Kávé, Világbéké’s (Pizza, Coffee, World Peace).
Besides the Hungarian jury, Dining Guide invited famous chefs from abroad. This year Enrico Crippa, who has three Michelin stars, helped in the ranking. Besides Crippa, Fausto Arrighi was invited, who spent 36 years at Michelin Guide and has a lot of experience.
Stand Restaurant is the best in the country
Stand opened in July 2018 and finished the competition with 94+ points. According to the jury, the restaurant not only stands out in Hungary but has all the necessary features and equipment to become significant on the international market of restaurants. The energy, profession, and faith in the restaurant made it the most successful one in Hungary, and the jury is sure that soon the restaurant will become famous in the whole world.
The director of the restaurant, Tamás Széll is the most famous chef in Hungary, and he was the first one who made it into the Bocuse d’Or in 2013 and finished in the 10th place. In 2016, he won the European final of the competition and in the final round in Lyon, he finished as 4th.
Stand Restaurant is followed by Onyx Restaurant which made history in 2018. This is the first restaurant in the country which earned two Michelin stars last year.
