Commenting on the new additions, International Director of the Michelin Guides Gwendal Poullennec said “both these restaurants are wonderful examples of Budapest’s dynamic restaurant scene”.

“They not only offer fantastic food and are doing something a little different, but they also do so while paying respect to Hungary’s culinary traditions,” he added.

The six new restaurants added to this year’s Michelin Plate selection are Hoppá! Bistro, Felix, Stand25 Bisztró, Spago by Wolfgang Puck, Rumour and Pasztell.
