GUNDEL RESTAURANT
T
he word Gundel is synonymous with tradition
and quality in the area of hospitality.
The founder of the restaurant, Károly Gundel
felt it was his goal to gather the values and
specialities of Hungarian gastronomy and to
amalgamate these with modern gastronomic
techniques used in other parts of the world.
With his persistent, popularising work he succeeded
in putting Hungarian cuisine on the
world gastronomy map. Looking back on a past
of more than 100 years, the Restaurant has survived
the storms of history, the world wars and
the changes of regime, and at present is proudly
continuing the work of the founder. It has won
numerous national and foreign accolades. The Gundel Restaurant is popular with both Hungarians and
foreigners, the secret of which is the milieu surrounding the guests, the inimitable hospitality, the tradition
which radiates from the building and environment, and the food compositions prepared from outstanding
quality ingredients. The Gundel Artistic Prize was created at the turn of the millennium, which
is assigned each year in 14 categories for the purpose of acknowledging the best in various branches of the
arts and in order to support their work. Since 2010 the chairman has been Miklós Szinetár, Kossuth prize
winner, twice Mari Jászai prize winner and director of theatre, opera, TV and film.
