Monk's Bistrot

A RESTAURANT WITH MANY FOOD STORIES IN BUDAPEST

Monk’s Bistrot has opened it’s doors in March 2015 in downtown Budapest, and almost immediately became a recognized player on the capital’s culinary scene.
The name choice and the interior design were inspired by spirit of the former local kitchen of the Piarist monks in the 19th century, and are a tribute to the past.
Designing the current interior the aim was to find the right balance between past and present, design and functionality and fill the whole place with the subtle harmony.
The kitchen island in the restaurant’s central area is basically Monk’s chef’s table, that offers an exciting spectacle for the curious eyes. For those who prefer a more intimate atmosphere, tables are available in the quieter backend.
When the weather allows, guests are welcome to sit and eat out on our patios. The front one is protected by the archway of the passage whilst the lateral one offers a great view to the main church and it’s garden, the Gellert-mountain and the Danube.
Monk’s Bistrot provides an ideal setting for a business lunch, a romantic dinner, a casual gathering or a family reunion.

SUBTLE BISTRONOMY

“Telling food stories everyday“ is our philosophy which is reflected in the local ingredients, their creative usage and the presentation of our meals. We always keep an eye on the newest trends in gastronomy, but we still manage to preserve the original nature of classic dishes. Our Chef and his team combines spices and ingredients from different geographical regions using new culinary techniques. Freshness, harmonious flavours and attractive plating are the characteristic of the sophisticated Bistronomy represented by Monk’s Bistrot.

ALL ONE COULD WISH FOR-
IN THE REALM OF FOOD

The culinary concept of Monk‘s Bistrot is to provide a special experience – in an unconventional way by allowing a glance “behind the scenes.” Our kitchen island is open on all sides offering full transparency to the whole kitchen process.
Watching the art of cooking while you dine is like a new kind of theater and can be truly inspirational, changing the way you think about the food you eat. We not only want to show customers the ingredients and reinforce freshness and quality but also prove our aptitude and thus share our passion for gastronomy.
