The Budapest Wine Festival is not only a paradise for wine enthusiasts but also for those with a passion for gastronomy. Beyond the premium street food selection, the city’s finest restaurants, chefs, and artisanal flavors line up to offer an irresistible culinary journey for every sense. Fine dining bites paired with premium wines, innovative artisanal creations, regional specialties, and fusion cuisine come together in perfect harmony, accompanied by countless glasses of wine.
Byblos – Mediterranean Fusion and Lebanese Tradition
For years, Byblos has been one of Budapest’s most exciting culinary crossroads for lovers of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors. Executive Chefs Osama and Mohamad Kutaini promise dishes that blend the richness of spices, the freshness of seasonal ingredients, and the elegance of traditional Lebanese cuisine. Classics like hummus, pomegranate-infused dishes, or lamb specialties are perfectly complemented by aromatic white wines and fruity rosés, creating a truly complete experience.
Pomo d’Oro – The Essence of Italian Living
The name Pomo d’Oro is synonymous with authentic Italian cuisine. On the Savoy Terrace, the restaurant brings the unmistakable Italian way of life, built around fresh pasta, carefully selected olive oils, and top-quality ingredients. For the festival, they present tasting bites that capture both the vibrant spirit of sun-soaked southern Italian markets and the sophistication of elegant trattorias. To complete the experience, light prosecco and refreshing white wines pair effortlessly with the dishes. And just steps away, the Osteria Pomo d’Oro wine bar, alongside Trattoria Pomo d’Oro, offers hundreds of wines and refreshing cocktails to choose from.
YAMA – The Modern Asian Experience
YAMA is one of Budapest’s leading representatives of contemporary Asian cuisine, always ready to surprise its guests. At the Wine Festival, they bring this same thrill: sushi variations, rolls spiced with exotic flavors, and irresistible textures crafted for gourmet festivalgoers. The YAMA selection pairs exceptionally well with mineral-driven white wines and sparkling wines, opening up a whole new dimension in wine tasting.
