2026.03.12. (Thursday) – 2026.03.29. (Sunday) • Multiple cities and venues
From March 12–29, DiningCity rolls out the 29th Nationwide Restaurant Week, an 18‑day flavor tour with around 200 top Hungarian restaurants serving special three‑course menus starting at 6,900 HUF (service included). Early booking opens for DiningCity newsletter readers on February 23, 2026.
Top Tables, Fixed Prices
Dining at truly high‑quality places usually stings—except during this fest. Three price tiers keep it simple: top category from 6,900 HUF, premium from 8,900 HUF, and exclusive from 10,900 HUF, all inclusive of service. Several participants will widen their offer for a modest surcharge, letting diners explore even more dishes without guesswork on the bill.
More than 200 venues are in, many ranked in Hungary’s Top 100 guides. Fifteen restaurants carry international Michelin recommendations, including Bib Gourmand honorees. Each kitchen puts forward its greatest hits and standout specialties in curated, fixed‑price menus aimed squarely at the public.
Wild Ingredients, Big Flavors
The lineups don’t just surprise with dishes—they push the envelope with ingredients. Beyond Hungarian Grey cattle, look for Namibian zebu, mouflon, marrow bones, rabbit leg, pig’s ear, and Burgundy snails. Seafood remains a headliner: lobster, tiger prawn, golden kingfish, red tuna steak, even frog legs. Classic indulgences are everywhere in multiple riffs—truffle, foie gras, and steak tartare included.
As tradition demands, restaurants are ready for special diets: expect gluten‑free, lactose‑free, sugar‑free, vegetarian, and vegan options built right into menus. Fans of global flavors can roam from Lebanese, Indian, Japanese, Georgian, Mexican, and Moroccan to beloved Hungarian kitchens—plus a generous scatter of fusion menus blending traditions.

How to Book Your Table
A decade‑strong fixture on the calendar, the event is a golden ticket to exclusive dining at friendlier, fixed prices. Each restaurant’s planned menu appears on the event website at reservation time, so you can zero in on French, Moroccan, American, Italian, Mexican, Asian, Hungarian, or inventive fusion routes before you click book. Meat lovers, vegans, and guests with allergies will all find something that fits like a glove.
