Two Budapest restaurants among the most affordable with Michelin stars
Change language:
There are a total of 2,290 restaurants with at least one Michelin star in the world – Hungary has 7. Two Budapest restaurants are among the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants, according to Chef’s Pencil.
Most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants
However, no Budapest restaurant is among the most expensive ones. On the contrary, France topped both lists. Chef’s Pencil has gathered Europe’s most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants, by which they mean the ones where you can buy a full meal for under EUR 30.
Apart from this list, they also made one of the 25 most expensive ones. It was also noted that soaring inflation could affect the results – if someone were to try out one of the recommended restaurants during a trip abroad, say, in the middle of summer, they might not see the same prices.
However, since Budapest has not one but two restaurants on the list of the most affordable ones, we do not have to go too far to try one out.
Essência Restaurant
Of the two restaurants in Budapest, Essência Restaurant (EUR 25 for a meal per person) got into the top 10, so it was given two paragraphs by Chef’s Pencil. They highlighted that it is run by a Portuguese-Hungarian duo, Tiago and Éva Sabarigo, and guests can enjoy the essence of both cuisines, as Portuguese and Hungarian flavours blend effortlessly in their dishes.
The name and photos of the restaurant are wrong. The Michelin awarded restaurant is called “Essencia”. We came to the wrong restaurant thanks to this article, the one you took the photos is a restaurant that is part of a hotel.
Dear Camila, we apologize for the inconvenience. The two restaurants have very similar names. We’ll correct it in the article.
