Journal

A lot happens around here — but everything is better when you’re part of it. This is where we share the stories that matter: meals shared around long tables, the sound of clinking glasses echoing through candlelit dinners, spontaneous toasts, slow afternoons that turn into unforgettable nights. It’s not just about what’s on the plate — it’s about who’s around the table. Welcome to our journal. A space for the moments we’ve lived, and the ones we’re still dreaming up — together.

On October 31, we’re coming to haunt downtown! After the Moszkva Duo, it’s time for the Deák Duo — and trust us, it’s going to be so spooky that we couldn’t have picked a better date for it.

This will be the very first time you’ll see Spíler like this, so skipping it is definitely not recommended!

When it comes to enjoying a delicious meal in a relaxed setting, casual dining strikes the perfect balance between comfort and quality. Unlike fast food, where convenience often outweighs culinary standards, or fine dining, which can feel too formal or expensive for everyday outings, casual dining offers a laid-back atmosphere without compromising on taste or service.
Foie gras, one of the most exquisite delicacies in European cuisine, has found a particularly beloved place in the heart of Hungarian gastronomy. Whether served cold or warm, as a pâté or in a sophisticated gourmet dish, foie gras captures the essence of indulgence. But why is foie gras in Budapest so highly recommended by both locals and international food lovers?
If you've ever searched for the keywords Wiener Schnitzel Budapest or wondered what makes this classic dish so beloved across Europe, you're in the right place. The Wiener Schnitzel is a traditional Austrian delicacy, known for its golden, crisp coating and tender veal interior. But its reputation doesn't stop at the Austrian border—some of the best versions of this iconic dish can now be found in Budapest, particularly in Zsidai Group's renowned Hungarian restaurants. From Buda Castle restaurants to stylish downtown venues, the Zsidai Group offers not only authenticity but an authentic culinary experience that celebrates the cultural richness of Central Europe.
Hungary is a land of deep flavors and hearty traditions, and nowhere is this more evident than in its cuisine. Traditional Hungarian cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of paprika-spiced stews, slow-cooked meats, rich sauces, and comforting classics that have been passed down through generations. If you're wandering through the cobbled streets of the Castle District or exploring the vibrant downtown dining scene, finding an exceptional Hungarian restaurant in Budapest is easier than ever—especially if you know where to look.
In the world of culinary delights, few dishes carry the weight of memory, tradition, and comfort as profoundly as Hungarian stuffed cabbage, or as it’s called in its native tongue, töltött káposzta. Wrapped in tender cabbage leaves and simmered slowly until all the flavors have mingled into a harmonious whole, this dish is a staple of Hungarian cuisine, but also a heartfelt celebration of family, festivity, and heritage.
