Michelin-star restaurants outside Budapest.
The two restaurants with Michelin stars outside Budapest are.
Two Michelin stars.
- Platan Gourmet, Tata (Chef: Istvan Pesti)
One Michelin star.
- 42, Esztergom (Adam Barna)
Tata and Esztergom are two cities not very far from one another, so you can easily visit both these during a trip to Hungary and to Budapest. Tata is located a 45-minute drive from Budapest, close to the highway in the direction of Györ, Vienna, and Bratislava. Esztergom is a beautiful city next to the Danube, especially known for its fantastic basilica on the top of the hill (the largest church building in Hungary). It is on the border with Slovakia, meaning that you can easily cross the Maria Valeria bridge and also visit Slovakia on your trip (if that sounds interesting).
If you go by car, it should take approximately 60 minutes to drive from Budapest to Esztergom.
