A grand restaurant beside the City Park in Budapest, open since 1894, serving classical Hungarian cooking in a formal dining room next to the zoo and the Szechenyi baths.
For the room, the continuity and the original Gundel pancake, and because a formal Hungarian dinner of this kind is otherwise close to extinct.
A genuinely grand dining room, classical Hungarian cooking done properly, the original Gundel palacsinta, and a garden terrace in summer.
Stiff service. A reputation it leans on. Away from the centre. Expensive for Budapest, though not for the setting.
Anyone marking an occasion, and anyone combining dinner with the Szechenyi baths across the park.
You want the modern Budapest food scene, which is in District VII and is a different city entirely.
Book, and go for dinner rather than lunch when the room is lit properly. Order the palacsinta even if you are full. The baths are a five-minute walk if you are making an evening of it.
Two-course dinner 15,700 forint, wine pairing an additional 7,000. A la carte also available. Reservations recommended.
Metro line 1 to Hosok tere or Szechenyi furdo, then a few minutes on foot into the City Park.
Allatkerti korut in the City Park, between the zoo and the Szechenyi thermal baths, a fifteen-minute metro ride from the centre.
Two hours.
Go for the room and the pancake. Book dinner rather than lunch, and pair it with the baths across the park.

Gundel serves a two-course dinner at 15,700 forint, with a wine pairing at an extra 7,000. Lunch runs 11:30 to 18:00 and dinner every day 18:00 to 22:00, with Sunday lunch from 11:30 to 16:00. It opened in 1894 beside the City Park and spent the twentieth century as the restaurant Hungary showed off to visitors, which is both its appeal and its problem. The dining room is enormous, formal and hung with paintings…
