Babel

A city institution, Babel represents the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Its walls still show marks from the 1838 Great Flood of Pest, yet it’s also a chic, stylish place thanks to passionate owner Hubert and interior designer Annamaria Dekany. The cooking follows in a similar vein, with the multi-course tasting menu comprising consummately seasoned, creative modern dishes which simultaneously exhibit references to their Hungarian heritage. Highlights include red shrimp with tomato and plankton, and guinea fowl with a steamed bun; be sure to go for the casino egg ‘add-on’ too.
