Rain or shine, Josper sizzles up
The Josper charcoal grill at Baltazár keeps on sizzling, even in the colder months! This versatile grill can handle everything from hearty winter vegetables like pumpkin and beetroot to succulent, high-quality meats. Expect dishes with a smoky, charred flavour that'll warm you up from the inside out.
Some of the most popular mains include the classic Josper-grilled chicken, a meaty BBQ pork rib, and a juicy 250-gram rib-eye steak. The Caesar salad is another favourite, available with grilled tiger prawns or chicken.
If you're in the mood for a burger, Baltazár has you covered. From the classic Baltazár Burger to the crispy chicken and vegetarian options, there's a burger for everyone. You can even customise your burger with extras like double meat patties and the secret homemade sauce.
For lighter bites, try seasonal dishes like beetroot hummus with grilled pita, crispy prawns, or Buffalo chicken wings. A standout dish is the Transylvanian Mititei (or miccs), a rustic grilled meat dish made with a blend of beef, lamb, and pork, served with homemade Ajvar and flatbread.
Of course, no visit to Baltazár would be complete without trying some Hungarian classics. The menu features chicken broth, beef goulash, catfish stew with dill and cottage cheese dumplings, and a hearty chicken paprikash with buttered noodles and a thick, collagen-rich gravy topped with grilled jalapeño.
To finish your meal on a sweet note, indulge in a chestnut mousse with a crunchy chocolate layer, Amarena meringue, and cherry sorbet; a warm apple pie with hazelnut sorbet (vegan and gluten-free); or a decadent chocolate brownie with butterscotch sauce, vanilla ice cream, and crunchy walnuts. And don't forget to try the seasonal Zuki ice creams.
Purity, the award-winning cocktail
Baltazár's award-winning cocktail, the Purity, is a must-try. Created by bartender Patrik Sztankovics, this refreshing drink won first place in the Finlandia Vodka Cup and was recently showcased at the Athens Bar Show. The Purity combines Finlandia vodka, carbonated lemon water, and litchi liqueur for a unique and delicious flavour.
In addition to the Purity, Baltazár offers a wide range of classic and signature cocktails, from the Baltazár Negroni to the Lychee Cosmopolitan and A Day in Hungary. As the weather turns colder, warm up with a cosy cocktail or grog (warm alcoholic drink, often made with rum, water, and citrus) in the lobby or grab a mulled wine to enjoy on a winter stroll. When it comes to wine, Baltazár showcases the best of Hungarian viticulture, with a focus on red wines during the winter months. Sparkling wine and champagne are also popular choices.
