Our Story

A Passion for Wine
and Hungarian Hospitality

Winestone Budapest was born from a simple belief: that extraordinary wine deserves equally extraordinary food. Housed within the historic Hotel Korona, our restaurant brings together the best of Hungarian culinary tradition and contemporary European technique.

Every dish on our menu is designed with a wine pairing in mind. Our cellar, curated over decades, spans the great wine regions of Hungary — from the volcanic slopes of Tokaj to the limestone-rich soils of Villány — alongside iconic bottles from France, Italy, and beyond.

"A great meal without wine is a symphony missing its crescendo." — The Winestone Philosophy

Chef Philosophy

Ingredient-Driven,
Wine-Focused

Our kitchen is guided by the seasons and the soil. We work with small Hungarian producers, foragers, and winemakers to create dishes that honour the land. Every plate is a conversation between the kitchen and the cellar — balanced, thoughtful, and never forced.

From dry-aged Mangalica pork to freshwater fish from Lake Balaton, our ingredients are sourced within hours of Budapest. The result is a menu that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly modern.

Over 200 Labels,
One Extraordinary Cellar

Our wine list celebrates the great terroirs of Hungary and Europe, with a particular devotion to the legendary wines of Tokaj, Villány, and Eger.

Tokaji Aszú

The legendary sweet wine of Hungary, with notes of apricot, honey, and orange zest.

Tokaj-Hegyalja

Egri Bikavér

Eger's famed "Bull's Blood" — a bold, complex red blend with rich dark fruit and spice.

Eger

Villányi Franc

Hungary's premium Cabernet Franc — structured, elegant, with notes of cassis and graphite.

Villány

Olaszrizling

Crisp, mineral-driven white wine from the volcanic soils of Badacsony — perfect with fish.
