TODO Mexican Kitchen
If you’re after a cheerful and life-affirming celebration, head to TODO from 29 October, where you can admire a traditional Mexican ofrenda — an altar set up in honour of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, created in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico. During this period, the team at TODO will also be serving a special menu inspired by Mexican culture and cuisine. On 1 November, in celebration of Día de Muertos (the Day of the Dead), guests arriving in costume will be treated to complimentary tequila and Mexican hot chocolate. One of Mexico’s most iconic holidays will also mark TODO’s first birthday, while the shared ofrenda stands as a heartfelt symbol of friendship between the restaurant and the Mexican Embassy — bringing the rich traditions of Mexico a little closer to Budapest.

Spoon The Boat
If a haunted boat ride isn’t quite your thing this year, Spoon The Boat is a wonderful alternative. Moored right by the Chain Bridge, it’s one of the most enchanting dinner spots in the city. Instead of eerie shadows, you’ll be surrounded by the soft glow of lights dancing peacefully on the Danube and the evening sparkle of Budapest.
For Halloween, the restaurant will be adding a playful twist to its à la carte menu with themed bites and whimsical decorations. Spoon The Boat isn’t meant to be spooky — making it a great choice for families too. Even the little ones can join the fun without fear, while the grown-ups enjoy the stunning views of the city. It’s the kind of place that makes you fall in love with Budapest all over again — even on a night that’s supposed to be a little bit haunting.

But on 31 October, it’s taking things up a notch as the gang moves into Spíler for a special costumed Halloween edition.
At this iconic downtown venue, the legendary Deák Duo returns, blending Csinnadratta’s light-hearted spirit with Spíler’s bold and cheeky energy. Expect the unexpected — a night that’s darker, bolder and wickedly stylish, just as a true Halloween party should be.

Cziniel Cukrászda Budakeszi
On Friday, 31 October, between 5 pm and 7 pm, Budakeszi Halloween returns after last year’s huge success among local children and families — and one of the most exciting stops will be Cziniel Cukrászda. In its spacious garden, little and big adventurers alike can collect tiny lanterns hidden around the enchanted garden to keep away mischievous spirits trying to sneak back into the world of the living. The most skilful explorers will be rewarded with homemade sweets.
To top it all off, you can count on themed desserts, a cosy Halloween atmosphere, mulled wine, hot chocolate, and Cziniel’s beloved cakes to make the evening as sweet as it is spooky.

The Magic Budapest II.
A smoky cocktail, a dish from the menu of mystical creations, and a magical dessert — all seemingly conjured by a secret chef-sorcerer — make the perfect ingredients for a Halloween day out. Located on Nagymező utca, this restaurant is a must-visit not only for fans of enchanted worlds but for anyone craving a truly extraordinary culinary adventure. The renewed menu is packed with exciting new flavours while also bringing a fresh twist to old favourites.
Recently, the Director’s Room has also opened — another secret-filled chamber where every little detail tells a magical story. But beware: the room’s tranquillity is guarded by a smoke-breathing dragon, and the path leading there is full of thrilling surprises. And if you still haven’t had your fill of magic, pop into the nearby Magic Rooms, where ten different escape adventures await — including a Wednesday-themed room, perfectly fitting for the occasion.

Time Heist
If you’re up for a little fright this Halloween, an escape room challenge is always a great idea — and at Time Heist in District IX, you can choose from seven different rooms, each with its own theme and difficulty level, ranging from classic puzzles to new-generation experiences.
For the occasion, we’d recommend the Horror Stories room — a spine-chilling adventure perfect for thrill-seekers. Families, on the other hand, might prefer Rejtély Rt., where you’ll need to uncover the secrets of an enchanted castle. On 31 October, special Halloween surprises await all visitors. The best part? Time Heist is dog-friendly, so your four-legged companions can join in too. Whether you’re coming as a couple, with friends, or with family, there’s a challenge here for everyone.
