About Salt

Salt brings the Hungarian countryside to a chef’s counter in the heart of Pest. The kitchen works with foraged herbs, small farms and wild ingredients, and uses old techniques of drying, pickling and fermenting to build a tasting menu that feels both rustic and very modern. The setting, in Hotel Rum, is intimate, and the conversation with the cooks is part of the evening.

Why it's on our list

  • One MICHELIN Star, MICHELIN Guide Hungary 2025
  • Foraged ingredients and fermentation
  • An intimate counter around the kitchen

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Salt before you go.
