As a result of the exclusive extension of the kitchen at Costes Downtown, you can now enjoy a Michelin-starred dinner in the embrace of the waves!
Costes Downtown
Costes Downtown is located in the heart of Budapest at ground level of the elegant Prestige Hotel accessible directly from Vigyázó Ferenc street and/or through the Hotel’s main entrance door. Less than a year after opening, the restaurant was awarded with one Michelin star in 2016. Our restaurant offers a friendly atmosphere, where we value and respect the environment, whilst offering unpretentious Michelin star gastronomy based on good techniques and fine ingredients.
The chef
Márk Molnár, Costes Group Executive Chef has worked in some of the
best-known restaurants over the last couple of decades acquiring “world-
around” experience in multi-continental cultures.
His international career began in Spain, 2001 where he immediately started sketching his career path at the young age of 24 working alongside Michelin starred chefs, learning with ambition from the best such as Martin Berasategui for two years followed by Ferran Adria who Mark worked with for almost a year.
Leaving the European continent behind for a while, Mark, moved to Japan to work in Chikara Yamada and since then remembers this period spent in Tokyo as the most innovative and professional period ever since.

The Hungarian capital abounds with excellent fine dining spots. Taking influence from the surrounding countries, as well as the country’s multicultural history, visitors can expect to find some of Europe’s most opulent dining facilities in Budapest.
