Salt Budapest

The Philosophy of SALT is built on traditional Hungarian cuisine, reimagined using the finest local ingredients to provide a unique and exclusive dining experience.

Although SALT restaurant is located in the heart of Budapest, it maintains a strong connection to nature. Its unique concept features a chef's table in the center of the restaurant, allowing guests to interact directly with the chef and gain insight into the preparation process of the dishes.

The Essence of life

SALT’s philosophy is built on traditional Hungarian cuisine, renewed with the finest local ingredients to create a unique and exclusive dining experience. The chef and his team strive to keep the menu simple and understandable, believing that simplicity is the greatest virtue in cooking. Respect for nature and the seasons is central, so ingredients are carefully selected, with many gathered from local forests, fields, and riverbanks.

SALT's chef, Szilárd Tóth, pays special attention to ensuring that guests can see the final touches of their dishes, often serving the courses himself. Minimalism and naturalness are reflected in the presentation, with only essential elements placed on the plate. This is the essence of life—a simple yet perfect flavor profile.

A passion for flavors: An unforgettable gastronomic experience

The vision behind SALT was created by chef Szilárd Tóth and Máté Boldizsár, the restaurant's manager and head sommelier, who have previously worked together and are now fulfilling their shared dream. They have created a cozy and comforting environment where guests can enjoy a unique and carefully crafted dinner. SALT offers a gastronomic adventure where everything revolves around the harmony of flavors and combinations. The restaurant exudes an elegant but relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the culinary experience.

To complement the tasting menu, SALT offers house-made fresh fruit juices and wines from some of Europe’s finest vineyards, perfectly paired with each course.
