Meggyleves

Chilled Sour Cherry Soup

Heat
2 800 Ft

A summer opener from the orchards of Szabolcs-Szatmár. Served ice-cold with a swirl of tejföl and a breath of cinnamon. It arrives before the heat, a reminder that Magyar cooking holds sweetness and depth in the same spoon.

Halászlé

Fisherman's Paprika Broth

Heat
4 200 Ft

Born on the banks of the Tisza River, this is a fisherman's fire in a bowl. Two types of river fish, a violent quantity of sweet paprika, no thickener, no compromise. The Baja style — no noodles, nothing between you and the broth.

Marbled beef shin, dried paprika pods, whole onions, caraway seeds, and lard arranged in still life

Bográcsgulyás

Open Flame Kettle Goulash

Heat
5 600 Ft

This is the dish. Beef shin marbled with fat, slow-rendered lard, sweet onions cooked until they vanish, three kinds of paprika added off the flame so they bloom without burning. Six hours. The csipetke — pinched egg pasta — go in last, twenty minutes before service. Your grandmother would recognise this.

"We opened because we were homesick for kitchens that still smell like something."

Gulyas sits in a 19th-century cellar in the VII. kerület, where the walls remember every winter. The copper kettles were sourced from a village market in Hortobágy. The wooden tables were made by a carpenter in Miskolc who still uses hand tools. Nothing here was designed to look like something it isn't.
