A high-traffic McDonald’s in a landmark building on Budapest’s Nyugati Square is re-opening after a 1.8 billion forint (EUR 4.5m) renovation, Progress Étteremhálózat, which operates the fast food restaurants in Hungary said.

There are 113 McDonald’s restaurants in Hungary. Progress Étteremhálózat had net sales revenue of 91.0 billion forints in 2023, public records show.

This particular restaurant, which draws several hundred thousand guests a year, was closed for more than six months. It has been expanded to accommodate over 280 guests.

The Hungarian interior designer Géza Sass redid the inside of the restaurant based on a design by Australian studio Landini. The general contractor for the project was Market Építő.

Headcount at the Nyugati Square restaurant has risen from 168 to 218 as a result of the expansion, Progress Étteremhálózat told MTI.
