Restaurants on Christmas
Posted by galaxybuns@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are travelling to Budapest for Christmas. We’ll be there December 22nd to 26th. Of course with it being Christmas, I’m curious to know if the majority of restaurants will be closed on the 24th? And if so, do you know of/recommend a place that will be open?
Thank you in advance!!

24.12 Dinner's what I found now
ÉS Bistro (in Kempinski): https://esbisztro.hu/unnepi-ajanlatok-2024.html
On ship: https://silver-line.hu/product/budapest-christmas-eve-cruise-dinner/
Spago: https://spagobudapest.com/en/christmas-eve-gourmet-menu
I guess, most of the hotels / some fancy restaurants will hold christmas eve's dinner, I suggest you to use search "szentesti vacsora / christmas eve dinner" later in november, beginning of December.
It depends, which restaurant will be open on 25-26th, if you have a preferred one, follow there fb page, a few days before probably all will let you know, how they are open during holidays.

we don't have a christmas tradition of eating a holiday meal in a restaurant on christmas eve or christmas day. like most places in this region most of everything is shut down so that we can have a family holiday. plus our grandmothers are better cooks than anything that one can get in a restaurant.
search this sub for more answers, but tourists being tourists, rarely come back to this sub after their visit to offer help. they mostly only post pics of touristy things of varying quality. so you might want to dm people from last year to see what they did.

TLDR: many close from 16:00 on Christmas Eve. 25tha and 26th are holiday too, so pretty likely to be many less places open

Yes, most things will be closed for a few days around Christmas.
