Valentine’s Day at Matild Palace Budapest
Valentine’s Day at Matild Palace is more than a shared dinner or a cocktail — it is a truly unforgettable atmosphere. On February 14, turn-of-the-century elegance, contemporary gastronomy and the vibrant energy of Budapest come together within the historic walls of the palace, where every detail is dedicated to romance.

The specially curated Valentine’s offers at the Michelin-recommended Spago Budapest and The Duchess tell stories of love, passion and refined pleasure through flavor.

A Valentine’s Fine Dining Experience at Spago Budapest

Spago Budapest’s Valentine’s Day menu captures the essence of modern fine dining. Every element of the multi-course dinner is thoughtfully composed, built on respect for ingredients and the harmonious pairing of flavors.

The evening begins with a selection of artisanal breads and a surprise amuse-bouche, followed by a choice between pan-seared scallops served with citrus cream or beef tenderloin tataki with fresh, Asian-inspired flavors.

A pheasant consommé enriched with filled cappelletti pasta and black truffle brings depth and elegance, while the main courses offer a truly romantic gastronomic experience: grilled char fillet with beetroot risotto, or butter-roasted lamb loin served with polenta and wild mushrooms.

The dinner concludes with a refreshing pomegranate sorbet, followed by a signature dessert celebrating the sensual meeting of white chocolate, blood orange, saffron, dark chocolate and salted caramel — a fitting finale to a romantic evening.

Creative Cocktails and Shareable Bites at The Duchess

The Duchess, one of Budapest’s most distinctive rooftop bars, approaches Valentine’s Day with a more playful, contemporary spirit. The specially designed cocktail menu is rich not only in flavors, but in stories as well. Royal Crush combines the elegance of gin and Tokaji Aszú with sparkling freshness, while Swipe Right, a whisky-based cocktail with spicy and fruity notes, evokes the world of modern dating.

Bold flavor pairings in cocktails such as Situationship and Late Night Tinder — featuring exotic fruits, spices and premium spirits — create exciting contrasts, while a thoughtfully curated mocktail selection ensures that every guest can find their perfect drink.

The cocktails are complemented by a carefully assembled menu of shareable dishes: caviar bites, Black Angus tartare, pulled duck bao, and Asian-spiced tiger prawn skewers provide refined companions to the drinks. Desserts such as miso cappuccino, delicate cheesecake, or peanut butter “lollipops” offer a light yet memorable close to the evening.

Matild Palace’s Valentine’s Day offerings are the perfect choice for those who wish to experience romance not only in atmosphere, but in flavors as well.

Whether it’s an elegant candlelit dinner or a special rooftop evening above Budapest, on February 14 Matild Palace once again becomes a meeting point of gastronomy and lifestyle.
