Országos Étterem Hét (National Restaurant Week) returns March 12–29, 2026, as DiningCity launches the 29th nationwide culinary showcase. Over 18 days, more than 200 top Hungarian restaurants roll out special three-course menus from 6,900 HUF (service included), opening doors to high-end dining at friendly fixed prices.
Hundreds of Menus, Three Price Tiers
Top-category spots start at 6,900 HUF, premium venues at 8,900 HUF, and exclusive houses at 10,900 HUF, all including service. Several participants sweeten the deal with broader selections for a modest surcharge. Many of the more than 200 restaurants appear on Hungarian Top 100 lists, and 15 carry international Michelin recommendations, including Bib Gourmand-awarded kitchens. Each place offers fan favorites and signature specialties, curated into set menus designed to impress without sticker shock.
Rare Cuts, Luxe Seafood, Bold Classics
Expect standout ingredients and surprising choices: alongside Hungarian Grey cattle, there’s Namibian zebu, mouflon, marrow bones, rabbit leg, pig’s ear, and Burgundy snails. Seafood lovers can dive into lobster, tiger prawns, yellowtail kingfish, red tuna steak, and even frog legs. Traditional indulgences don’t miss a beat either, with truffles, duck liver, and beef tartare appearing in multiple styles. Following long-standing tradition, restaurants will also cater robustly to special diets, with gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes on offer.
From Lebanese to Japanese, and Back Home Again
Global palates are well covered: Lebanese, Indian, Japanese, Georgian, Mexican, Moroccan, and more stand shoulder to shoulder with classic Hungarian kitchens. Menus based on Hungarian, French, Moroccan, American, Italian, Mexican, and Asian traditions share space with inventive fusion sets, making it easy for meat lovers, vegans, and guests with allergies to find a perfect match.
