2026.03.12. (Thursday) – 2026.03.29. (Sunday) — multiple cities and venues
DiningCity rolls out the 29th National Restaurant Week from March 12–29, 2026, an 18-day tasting tour with roughly 200 top Hungarian restaurants serving special three-course menus from 18.90 USD (service charge included). Reservations for DiningCity newsletter readers open on February 23, 2026.
Top kitchens, fixed prices
Fine dining usually bites the wallet—except during Restaurant Week. Top-category spots start at 18.90 USD, premium at 24.40 USD, and exclusive venues at 29.80 USD, all inclusive of service. Some participants broaden the offer with extra dishes for a small surcharge. Over 200 venues made the cut, many ranking in Hungarian Top 100 lists. Fifteen hold international Michelin recommendations, including Bib Gourmand winners. Each of these acclaimed kitchens is putting forward its signature crowd-pleasers at friendly, fixed menu prices.
Rare cuts, luxe bites
Beyond standout courses, the ingredient lineup gets bold: alongside Hungarian Grey cattle (Magyar szürke), expect Namibian zebu, mouflon, marrow bones, rabbit thighs, pig’s ear, and Burgundy snails. The sea rolls in too—lobster, tiger prawn, yellowtail kingfish, bluefin tuna steak—and even frog legs. Classic indulgences show up in force: truffle, duck liver, and steak tartare in multiple renditions. As tradition demands, restaurants are ready for special diets, with gluten-, lactose-, and sugar-free options, plus vegetarian and vegan plates across many menus. Craving a passport on a plate? Choose from Lebanese, Indian, Japanese, Georgian, Mexican, Moroccan, and more—right alongside traditional Hungarian kitchens.

Plan, book, feast
With more than a decade of momentum, Restaurant Week is the chance to slip into exclusive dining rooms at approachable, fixed prices. Each venue’s planned menu is visible during booking on the event website, letting diners filter by culinary tradition—Hungarian, French, Moroccan, American, Italian, Mexican, and a range of Asian influences—plus a rich slate of fusion menus. Meat lovers, vegans, and guests with allergies will all find something they’ll actually want to finish. Booking is only possible via the website, and seats are limited to keep the spotlight on quality hospitality. The feast runs March 12–29, 2026.
