We originally opened KŐLEVES in December 2005 at the corner of Kazinczy Street and Dob Street in the Jewish Quarter.

We opened KŐLEVES GARDEN in 2009 on the neighbouring building site. In 2012, we moved to 41 Kazinczy Street into a separate building. KŐLEVES was one of the first restaurants in the Jewish Quarter, or Party District. From the very beginning, we wanted a place where our guests can feel at home, all our dishes are made of good quality ingredients, and the waiters are very friendly and attentive. A lot of things have changed in the world over the past 20 years, but KŐLEVES is still sticking to its original concept. At KŐLEVES RESTAURANT we have been experimenting with new things for over 20 years in a way that keeps our family-like atmosphere and spirit of the place, and we continue to offer our favourite dishes and ingredients from one year to the next. On our menu you can find classical Hungarian dishes, but we give place to ideas inspired by French, Middle Eastern or Asian cuisine. We are open to new ideas, but it is important for us to have traditional Jewish dishes on our menu like Cholent or the Matzo Ball Soup from every autumn to spring. With her unique ideas, our pastry chef has created some extraordinary desserts over the past few years . The founding of KŐLEVES GARDEN was inspired by a legendary beer garden in Budapest called Ráckert (1997–2004), where we often went and loved it. Our first season was in the Summer of 2009. Originally, the owners of the garden did not promise too many seasons, but in fact we have been able to open every Spring since then. Our garden is a real open-air beer garden and a meeting point for all types of people in Budapest, not to be confused with our restaurant and its patio. We sell good quality beer, wines and other drinks together with Kőleves-style simple yet delicious bar food from the small kitchen in the garden, where the dishes are different from those in the restaurant. KŐLEVES GARDEN is a real oasis in the middle of the city, with large trees, plenty of shade and kind people are expecting you from end of April till the beginning of October.
