Located on the Belgrád rakpart, this riverside spot boasts stunning views of the Danube and the Budapest skyline – the perfect setting for a lazy afternoon or a fun evening out. Whether you're watching the sunset or soaking up the city lights, Port de Budapest is sure to leave an impression. Since opening just over a year ago, it's become a go-to for both locals and visitors. The relaxed atmosphere, top-notch service, and the fresh energy of new manager Simon Vereby-Csethe – whose background includes Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest and Flava – make it a standout in the city's dining scene.
Light bites that pair perfectly with standout cocktails
The menu is designed with summer evenings in mind – think fresh, flavour-packed dishes that complement a cocktail in hand.
Start with the creamy platter, featuring smoky aubergine dip, boursin cheese, and avocado-tomato salsa, served with slices of sourdough.
The beetroot-raspberry-goat's cheese trio is a feast for both the eyes and tastebuds, while the Mediterranean platter – with cured ham, Italian salami, and cheeses – is ideal for sharing over a relaxed chat. For something greener, there's a classic Caesar salad or a fresh mixed salad, with the option to top it off with Cajun-marinated chicken skewers or chilli prawns.
The bar's menu is full of bold flavours – crispy chicken wings with fries and romesco sauce, garlic-chilli prawns, free-range chicken breast in pumpkin seed crumb, pan-seared Norwegian salmon, and freshly made pasta in a simple tomato-basil sauce.
And for those with a sweet tooth? You can’t go wrong with the Belgian chocolate sponge or a refreshing coconut milk panna cotta to round off the evening.
Lisa, Liberty, or a classic? There’s no wrong choice here
While the classic drinks are always available, new creations regularly make their way onto the menu. The summer must-try is Lisa – a pastel-hued, perfumed gin cocktail blending lychee, pear, blueberry, pineapple, and a hint of Szechuan pepper. Liberty, on the other hand, is a bold and rebellious mix of pomegranate’s bright fruitiness with spicy, bitter notes for a complex yet refreshing drink.
Of course, the bartenders are happy to make any classic cocktail you fancy, but it’s worth sampling one of their signature creations – the Port Star Martini is a light, fruity option that’s perfect for summer evenings. And if you’re a gin lover, you’re in luck: the gin & tonic menu features variations like Black, Roku, Opera, and Hendrick’s.
Port de Budapest isn’t just for a quick drink – it’s also a sought-after spot for events, whether it’s a corporate party, family birthday, or wedding reception. But even if you’re just popping by with friends or a date, you’ll be treated to a memorable mix of great food, friendly service, and an unbeatable view. Just make sure to book a table – this place fills up fast!
