About CHESS Budapest Étterem

Elegáns tálalás, kellemes hangulat és jazz-zene jellemzik a Dob utca és a körút találkozásánál található éttermet, amelyet már messziről felismerhetünk az ikonikus sakktábla mintájú burkolatáról. Az étlap változatos kínálata minden ízlésnek kedvez: a magyaros konyha szerelmesei a klasszikus gulyást vagy a szaftos harcsapaprikást élvezhetik, míg az ínyenceket olyan különlegességek várják, mint a citrusfüsttel készült tokhal-tatár vagy a zamatos szarvasgerinc. A kifogástalan kiszolgálás mellett a hangulatos terasz különleges élményt kínál, ahol gyakran élőzene is szól, tovább fokozva a kellemes atmoszférát.

Wonderful experience! We’ve found this restaurant by chance. Impeccable service and delicious food worth a Michelin star. Great ratio between price and quality. Modern fusion cuisine experience. Overall, a must try when in town.

A beautifully curated dining experience that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. As a chess player and someone who love chess, I felt an immediate sense of connection here. The chess-inspired concept is handled with taste and restraint — elegant, calm, and thoughtfully integrated into the space, never gimmicky. The interior design is stylish yet comfortable, creating an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Service was attentive and professional, striking a great balance between being present and giving guests the space to enjoy their meal at their own pace. Overall, a restaurant with character, identity, and sincerity. Happy to support a place that resonates both personally and professionally — and one I would gladly return to. ♟️🍽️

Dinner at the Chess restaurant was beyond my expectations, we were just looking for a place to eat but I’m glad we came by as it was in our hotel. The food was delicious, meat was nice and tender and a good mix of well paired flavours that was a treat to our palate. The staff were welcoming and attentive, made good drink recommendations and the service was just impeccable.
