Located on the fourth floor of the hotel, “The Great Hall” is not only a restaurant, but also the centre of the hotel’s life. This breath-taking room, once kept as a secret place by the Freemasonry will now become the centre of the hotel’s life; opening its doors to welcome guests where all our patrons can enjoy breakfast till 10:30 and return during the day for a drink or lunch till 15:00 in the afternoon. The Grand Hall serves dinner and drinks from 18:00 till 23:00 every day. This hall, built in Egyptian style, is characterized by its giant chandelier, its columns, heavy curtains and for the leadership of the two iron spiral staircases leading to the Loggia. “The Great Hall” seats up to 88 persons, of which 64 on the ground floor and an additional 24 persons in the Loggia.

From 8th October, the Sky Garden Rooftop Terrace will be closed until late spring 2025.

    GOOD TASTE, BEAUTIFUL FEELINGS!!! Visiting Budapest with my family on Christmas Eve, we thought that to make it a magical evening, we should book dinner at the 5* Mystery Hotel, Grand Hall Restaurant. And we made the perfect choice, the location being a special one, with style and class, and the food particularly good and refined!! The second evening we had a reservation at another 5* restaurant in Budapest, but it doesn't even stand the comparison!!!!

    Excellent food and service, nice ambiente! Set-up of tables could be improved, so that a guest does not need to sit with his back to the whole hall near a wall.

    We celebrated our engagement in this restaurant. We were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Quick service but not hastily. Members of the staff have excellent knowledge of the menu. Prices are very affordable if you take in account the service and the quality of the food. Food was plated very elegant. We had the duck as starter, good portion! Main course was fish and pork belly. We were warned the pork belly is very fatty, this was not a problem, it melted away! Very apologetic when the service noted there were 2 bones in the fish, we didn't mind, its fish these things can happen. Definitely would recommend this to anybody visiting Budapest who wants to feel special for a night! The boys from the bar know some cool tricks. The drinks were decorated with great creativity! Thanks again for a wonderful night, that will always stay with us.

    Beautiful food. Relaxing atmosphere. Superior service. Service charge a bit cheeky stings at the end paying the bill. But seems to be the thing in Budapest

    Amazing high end restaurant with good value VS gain. Big portions, amazing taste, special christmas menu and drinks were magical. The great hall is really great and sitting in you feel like being in Harry Potter or 1917. Very unique atmosphere. The staff is extremely professional abd overall impression is very classy! 🍾♥️
