The story
Andrássy Garden serves modern Hungarian cuisine at Andrássy út 111 in Budapest, where the kitchen balances traditional flavors with contemporary techniques. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients and grilled dishes, offering a refined approach to regional cooking that fits seamlessly into the bustling avenue surroundings.
The kitchen centers on grilled preparations and seasonal produce, presenting staples like goulash soup alongside creative twists such as a "Lángos" topped with sour cream foam, Hungarian hard cheese, and truffle pesto. Main courses showcase the Lamb French rack with bacon green beans and mint pea puree, while the baked camembert arrives with tarragon tarhonya risotto and cherry jus. Hearty options include rib-eye steak with roasted spring onions and chimichurri, and braised wild boar resting on parsnip purée with crispy chips, a robust lineup that earned a Gault&Millau 12 score for 2026.
Located in a semi-basement beneath the Mamaison Hotel, the dining room features white walls, exposed arches, and a distinct tropical colonial aesthetic. Woven rattan elements, abundant green plants, macramé pendant lights, and shell chairs fill the well-sectioned space, anchored by a striking bar and an impressive wine wall at the rear. Guests often begin the day here with the rich international breakfast buffet, followed by laid-back yet attentive service for lunch or dinner. The restaurant's namesake garden offers a lush extension for evening meals, providing a quiet escape from the avenue traffic.
The beverage program complements the food with a thoughtful selection of wines, ranging from local Tokaj dry whites to international reds, alongside signature cocktails like the Hugo@Andrássy featuring Ciroc Apple and elderflower. Other refreshers include the Pink&Fresh with raspberry rhubarb and blueberry. Desserts provide a sweet conclusion. The Forest walk combines dark chocolate ganache with forest fruit aspic, while the Vanilla mousse layers apricot jam cream with poppy seed crisp. The Spring express offers mascarpone, basil, and strawberry jelly.
