Salt has one Michelin star. This sophisticated restaurant is housed in a small boutique hotel. It offers Hungarian dishes revisited and executed almost before your very eyes, thanks to its open kitchen. Here, only the fifteen-course tasting menu is offered, and it's absolutely delicious! A vegetarian or vegan option is also available to suit all diets. The atmosphere at Salt is friendly and you'll be welcomed with open arms. The wine list, too, is particularly well prepared.

Entering SALT, you immediately sense its magnificence. The perfection in every detail, from the elegant tables and lights to the impeccable decor, sets a grand stage. The waiters, professional in their simple yet elegant outfits, add to the ambiance.

SALT's commitment to environmental sustainability is impressive. Their efforts to forage herbs from nearby forests and utilize produce from their own garden make the food not only interesting and healthy but also exceptionally tasty. The 15-dish menu I chose was a journey of flavors, each dish delightfully tasty without relying heavily on spices. The chefs' knowledge in combining ingredients to create superb dishes is evident.

The non-alcoholic drink menu was equally impressive. Their unique, fermented drinks were a highlight, adding a distinct touch to the meal.

Overall, dining at SALT is an experience of refined tastes and sustainability, making it more than just a meal, but a celebration of culinary art.

Ungarn lohnt sich längst nicht mehr. Besser Sacher und Sansibar Restaurants

Me and my girlfriend had the tasting dinner menu at Salt. Food was delicious but rushed service ruined the experience.

The Food
The food was of great quality, and presentation of the food was also top notch! Yet the flavors did not leave me with the wow feeling and feel there is some room for improvement; therefore 4 stars.

Service and Atmosphere
I take these together because they are interlinked. Although the staff of the restaurant was friendly and the Chef came multiple times to the table to explain about the dishes, we felt very rushed in the enjoyment of the meal. You must know that this restaurant operates two shifts, one starting at 18:00 and one at 20:00. The aim is to serve the dishes at the same time for everyone who is in the same shift. This way it was not possible to really be at ease and savory the flavours and feel relaxed. Staff was waiting around your table and the moment you put down your cutlery (or even when you start the movement of putting down your cutlery) they immediately rush to take away your plate and bring the next dish. This was a big minus of the concept which makes us not going to return here despite living around the corner. The rushed experience is also palpable when the staff explains the dishes: you receive a very quickly spoken explanation of the dishes - some dishes I was not able to grasp the explanation and could not asked clarification as the staff had already rushed off.

We spent c. 400 Eur for two persons but were not satisfied with the experience at all.

Update in response to the reaction of the restaurant:
Very disappointed about the customer service instead of calling me to discuss the matter the restaurant puts the blame back on the customer via a review too.

All the dishes are prepared at the same time and were already waiting to be served - if I had asked to slower the tempo of the dinner I would have received a dish that was being kept warm under a heating lamp. In addition, during one course the staff even attempted to remove my dish while I was still eating - a disgrace I certainly gave them immediate feedback about.

Finally, I did express appreciation for the food (which was only asked at the very end), but feedback on the service was not asked. Of course, it would not have been good - as you also can see from the comment of the restaurant they don’t care about good service at all. Recommend to avoid this place at all costs.

P.s. My big smile was certainly not caused by the restaurant but by the company I was with.
