In the extraordinarily rich and colourful gastronomical offer of Gerbeaud House the following sections play the most important roles: the Beer-house with its own butchery products and home style meals, the Banquet unit servicing wedding dinners with 20 persons up to gala dinners with a few hundred persons and the realized dream, Onyx Restaurant, the gourmet restaurant with 40 persons where we fight for the greatest professional tribute, the Michelin star.

I divide my professional confession into 2 parts: one is that we stress the replacement, the training of the new generation. The main columns of our kitchen have been selected from our trained students. I consider the constant professional control very important where we have reached outstanding results. In 1999 I reached the 1st place at the national competition of Chaine de Rôtisseurs, so I could represent Hungary at the world championship in Paris. The next years, three other young cooks attended this championship and they became winners as well.

I regard punctuality, accuracy and seasonality as great virtue, that we can always start with excellent bases, that always only well selected, fresh raw material should get into the pan, keeping originality, and it is essential to keep on renewing, renewing, renewing?
