In the summer of 2008, Costes Restaurant was the first Costes Group establishment to open its doors. Two years later, it was awarded a Michelin star and has since gained international recognition and been preserving its acclaimed reputation for the past 12 years.
TripAdvisor ranked it the 25th best restaurant in the world and the 14th best in Europe in 2014 for providing an exquisite dining experience and consistently maintaining a high standard of food and service.

Our continued success can be attributed to the fact that we have always placed an emphasis on superior quality.
Chef-patron Jenő Rácz, a celebrity chef best known for his appearances on the most popular Hungarian cooking show, the country's version of Masterchef and the Rumour Restaurant, is assisting us in resuming our quest to maintain excellence while incorporating his own style of bohemian elegance and avantgarde.
As we continue to write this culinary history of Central and Eastern Europe, we offer a seven-course tasting menu of contemporary European cuisine.
