About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Macesz Bistro is an Eastern European bistro in the Old Jewish district of Budapest. It offers the hidden and well known treasures of the Hungarian and Jewish cuisines, with traditional and reimagined courses for their guests. The continuously updated menu is ensured by chef Ákos Tasnádi, beyond the á la carte assortment the daily offer’s seasonal specialties diversify the selection.

We take great care of assembling the wine list, offering from the best domestic wineries with some specialities.

We reopened Macesz after the pandemic in the spring of 2022. We can not wait to meet again our haunters and new guests as well.

The restaurant is suitable for exclusive events with up to 60 people as well.

Macesz Bistro is one of the most exciting culinary spots in downtown Budapest, an excellent choice for a romantic dinner, a family lunch or a business meeting.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Macesz. The menu and wine list are both varied (but with a Hungarian focus) and all our dishes were excellent and very refined. The service was very attentive and friendly.

Nice location in the Jewish quarter and very good quality trading food. You need to get quite early to get a good table, as the place is fully booked pretty much all the evening. I can recommend Jewish menu, goose and salmon. Any desert is a good choice, remember however about accompanying it with Tokaji wine.

Excellent place, very good food, however very expensive, especially the drink. Calculate approx. 200 EUR for 4 persons if you want to eat main course + dessert and 1-2 drinks/person.
