Borkonyha is a blend of a French-style bistro and a contemporary family restaurant offering the best of Hungarian cuisine. The name Borkonyha (Winekitchen) speaks for itself. The concept is based on the wide and diverse wine list, the delicious food and the personal and relaxed service.

The wine assortment includes 200 different, mostly Hungarian wines that represent not only the well-known wineries, but also small and yet-to-be-discovered cellars. They offer 48 wines by the glass at a time and have a temperature-controlled wine shelf with 1200-bottle-capacity so that the guests could buy wine by the bottle at a reasonable price for either take-away or drinking it on spot.

The cuisine is based on fresh, even daily purchased ingredients and on the weekly-fortnightly changing offers written on the black board. The chef of Borkonyha, Ákos Sárközi has been with the team from the first moment. The owners appreciate his knowledge and genuineness, professionalism showed while working in Restaurant Alabárdos, his continuous success in the Tradition and Evolution competition, and the experiences he gained as a stage in the Portuguese two-Michelin-star Restaurant Villa Joya.

What is his philosophy? “I would like to create a kitchen full of flavours. If I had to define my style, I would say that it is open to any influences. As I get inspiration from the Transylvanian cuisine, I’m also ready to use Spanish, French or Italian ingredients. My aim is to show the many facets of the traditional Hungarian cuisine by using contemporary approach and kitchen technology.”
