The Most Beautiful Restaurant in the World – Halazsbastya, Budapest

It’s always rather exciting to discover an amazingly unique restaurant, rather unsuspectingly. The bar has been set high in the restaurant world, but Halazsbastya Restaurant is officially our favourite restaurant in the world. Fit for a princess it proudly resides in a beautiful tower of Fisherman Bastion in Buda. The mystical fairy-tale castle, that is so enchanting one can almost imagine Rapunzel waiting at the top of the tower.

With dining rooms fit for a King’s banquet. Each course is served with a cloche, swiftly and immaculately presented. Starting with warm breads and an amuse bouche of pumpkin soup was delicious. The lamb rump with vegetables was tender and delightful. The chicken served on a bed of warm apple salad was brilliantly refreshing. Dessert was a delicious trio of chocolate and was scrumptious.
