The nationwide Michelin Guide will be published in the second half of the year and will collect and award the best Hungarian restaurants in different categories.

The dynamic development of Hungarian catering, successful foreign and domestic media appearances and quality Hungarian ingredients have all contributed to putting rural Hungary on the gastronomic map. with outstanding offerings now available nationwide.

This is one of the reasons why Michelin is now evaluating not only restaurants in Budapest but also in the countryside.

Hungary currently has 20 Michelin awards (stars or plates), which could rise further with the addition of a new rural venue or venues.

The National selection of Hungary is also an excellent image-building opportunity, which will attract even more gastronomic tourists to Hungary, MTÜ says.
