14/09/2023 The day has come to update the Michelin Guide Hungary edition on 14 September. It is the guide that has been present in Budapest since 1992, and its selection also includes restaurants beyond Budapest as of 2022.

Among them, Clarisse was selected as a recommended restaurant last year, as well.

The menu of Clarisse reflects the traditions of Tura and the history of BOTANIQ Castle of Tura. The concept involves regional as well as traditional elements, however, its cuisine may also be called a fusion kitchen as it is open to the gastronomy trends of the world. Clarisse is based on the Hungarian cuisine, but the French cuisine also has a very strong influence on it, and the Northern, Scandinavian dishes provide much inspiration to it, as well. The kitchen of Clarisse is run by Chef György Szűcs, and his work is supported by Richárd Farkas, the talented creative chef of BDPST Group, the work of whom has been recognized with the sustainability award. Their menu is made complete with the carefully selected wine pairing by Tamás Langó, Executive sommelier of BDPST Group, the first Hungarian winner of the Michelin Sommelier Award. The restaurant is managed by Brigitta Rudi.

Located in the vicinity of Szabadság tér, Flava Kitchen & More is based on the sharing concept. International dishes are served on the plates, hereby ensuring that not even a larger group of people would find it difficult to select the right dishes for themselves. When the menu was compiled, the specialties of almost all cuisines of the world were included, hereby creating the fresh and unique courses. The dishes are prepared under the leadership of Chef Kornél Zvekán, and the restaurant is managed by Péter Mesterházy.

The characteristic dishes of Bobajka, the restaurant of Andrássy Kúria & Spa, are made from local ingredients being prepared in a special way, hereby creating a dining experience that is uniquely local and familiar but is still innovative. Along with the regional and Hungarian dishes, the restaurant offers popular courses and dishes that can be included in various diets. Their quality is guaranteed by Chef Imre Varjú and his team. The restaurant is managed by Kitti Koór.

The selection is made every year on the basis of uniform criteria by the Michelin Guide inspectors. These criteria apply to each restaurant so that the lovers of gastronomy can make a well-founded decision when selecting the best restaurants of the highest quality. The Michelin recommendation demonstrates all over the world that the selected restaurants offer their guests an outstanding and high-quality dining experience.
