Located in the heart of Budapest, Fiktív is a fine dining restaurant for those ready to step beyond the ordinary and explore what contemporary Hungarian cuisine can truly offer. It is more than just a dining experience—it is a gastronomic journey where tradition and modern culinary artistry blend seamlessly. Even the restaurant’s name reflects this concept: a fiction, where familiar dishes take on a new interpretation through bold, surprising, and harmonious combinations. 

With a focus on the pure essence of ingredients and flawless execution, the team at Fiktív pushes boundaries in both flavor and creativity, elevating dining to a communal experience. The elegant yet daring interior design creates an atmosphere where a meal is not just a routine but a truly immersive event. 

Tasting Menu – A Reinvention of Fine Dining 

At Fiktív, guests can choose between a 5- or 7-course tasting menu, each carefully designed to offer a new perspective on Hungarian gastronomy. While the foundations are deeply rooted in tradition, every dish presents a fresh and modern interpretation of classic flavors. 

Expect exceptional pairings, such as cabbage with peanuts and fig oil, lamb with pork brain, or Akasztó carp with dill-infused túrós csusza, prepared using Japanese techniques like salting and smoking to maximize its depth of flavor. 

The wine pairing by Orsolya Kovács, the restaurant’s manager and sommelier, includes not only Hungarian and international wines but also cocktails and Fiktív’s very own sparkling wine. Additionally, for those seeking a non-alcoholic alternative, Zoé Péli’s expertly crafted juice pairings provide the perfect complement to the meal. 

A Unique Atmosphere and a Shared Culinary Experience 

At Fiktív, every dish tells a story, carefully composed to balance aesthetics and flavor in perfect harmony. Chef Márton Tatai and his team take an experimental and innovative approach to gastronomy, continuously searching for new culinary frontiers. 

The restaurant embraces unconventional flavor pairings, such as spiced desserts, savory cocktails, and unexpected ingredient combinations, proving that fine dining can be both sophisticated and daring. Every element of the dining experience is thoughtfully curated, ensuring a meal at Fiktív is nothing short of extraordinary. 

If you are looking for a gastronomic adventure that honors Hungarian culinary heritage while fearlessly innovating, Fiktív is the perfect choice.
