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.

Surrender to the charm of Italian dolce vita on an unforgettable summer evening in the hidden garden of the Buda Castle, surrounded by 13th-century walls.

Join us for a slice of la dolce vita with Italian vibes, tasty bites, and refreshing drinks!

What does ‘specialty coffee’ mean? We can drink really good coffees at more and more places, but it is only occasionally that we hear about the real meaning of the term 'specialty coffee'.
Did you know that asparagus belongs to the lily family? While it didn't inherit the flower's scent, it remains one of the delicacies of the spring, which is why the ÉS Bisztró brings to you the market's freshest produce, prepared in various creative ways. 
From spring to autumn, we prefer the terraces of restaurants. Although the air-conditioned interiors seem to be attractive when it is warm, the chilled, breezy terraces are more enjoyable for lunch or dinner.
Beer, grill and the electrifying vibes of the Castle District – what more could you want? A special Bavarian menu, ice-cold draft beers, and that unmistakable scent of sizzling grill in the spring air.
