"A French brasserie under the Gresham Palace's Art Nouveau glass, where Árpád Győrffy plates Tokaji-marinated foie gras — reserve a window over the Chain Bridge."
About Kollázs
Inside the Gresham Palace, beneath restored Zsolnay tiles and a peacock-gate facade, Kollázs runs a French brasserie with a view straight onto the Széchenyi Chain Bridge. It is the dining room of the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace at Széchenyi István tér 5–6 in District V, and executive chef Árpád Győrffy cooks French brasserie classics through a Hungarian lens. A three-course dinner is HUF 23,900 before the 15% service charge, with the Tokaji Aszú foie gras terrine at HUF 12,400.
The Kitchen
Árpád Győrffy learned his trade in the kitchen of Budapest's Alabárdos and built on a foundation of traditional Hungarian cooking before turning to a refined brasserie style. “Kollázs” is the Hungarian word for collage, and the menu lives up to it: a Tokaji Aszú-marinated foie gras terrine with homemade brioche, duck leg confit, the signature Gresham waffle, and house croissants offered in three variations. A salade landaise with smoked duck breast, gizzard and foie gras runs HUF 9,900 on the lunch card.
The kitchen pairs French regional technique with Hungarian ingredients, and rotates a monthly journey through the regions of France. Gault&Millau Hungary awarded Kollázs three toques in its 2026 guide, recognition that this is more than a hotel dining room coasting on its address. The cooking is precise and generous rather than experimental, which is exactly what a grand brasserie in a building like this should be.
The Room
The setting is the point. Kollázs sits inside one of Europe's great Art Nouveau buildings, with restored tilework, soaring glass and tables angled toward the Chain Bridge and the Buda hills beyond. The room is elegant and calm, lighting bright by day and warm at night, spacing generous. Dress is smart; this is a Four Seasons room that pulls hotel guests, business diners and locals marking an occasion. Service is polished and unhurried, and the bar turns out a serious cocktail list.
Best for Impressing a Client
Reserve Kollázs to impress a client or mark an anniversary because the Gresham Palace setting does half the work before the food arrives, and the brasserie cooking is reliable enough to carry the rest. Ask for a window table over the Chain Bridge. The room reads as grand without being stiff. For more see the Budapest dining guide and our guide to the best restaurants to impress clients.
Not for
Not for a budget city break — this is Four Seasons pricing with a 15% service charge on top, and the room skews hotel guest and business diner over local crowd.
Frequently Asked
Is Kollázs worth it?
Yes, if the setting matters to you — Kollázs trades partly on the Gresham Palace, one of Europe's finest Art Nouveau buildings, but the cooking holds up too. Árpád Győrffy's French-brasserie menu earned three Gault&Millau toques in 2026, and the Tokaji foie gras terrine and Gresham waffle are standouts. Book a window table for the Chain Bridge view.
How hard is it to book Kollázs?
Not very, though window tables and weekend brunch go first — the Sunday brunch in particular books out. Reserve through OpenTable or the Four Seasons a week ahead for prime seating. The restaurant is inside the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace at Széchenyi István tér 5–6, District V.
What is the dress code at Kollázs?
Smart. It is the dining room of a Four Seasons hotel, so a blazer or a dress fits, and smart denim passes at lunch. There is no strict jacket requirement, but the grand room invites dressing up. Most guests treat it as an occasion.
What is the average meal price at Kollázs?
A three-course dinner is HUF 23,900 per person plus a 15% service charge, with the foie gras terrine at HUF 12,400 and a salade landaise at HUF 9,900 on the lunch menu. Expect roughly HUF 30,000 to 45,000 per head at dinner with a drink. It is priced as a luxury-hotel brasserie.
Is Kollázs good for an anniversary?
Yes — it is one of Budapest's most romantic rooms for the view alone. Ask for a window table over the Chain Bridge, come at dusk, and let the Art Nouveau setting and the brasserie classics carry the evening. Book ahead for the best tables. For more see our best restaurants for an anniversary.
