The City Park has always been a favorite walking and hiking location for the Budapest residents, what else could complete the time spent outdoors than a fantastic lunch or dinner surrounded by cedars and willows.

The restaurant was opened in 1927, by Charles Marth immediately after construction of the bath. The restaurant was operating on the name as Ezerjó, and was gathered by the government in 1949, but still remained a popular meeting place among the residents of Pest – the closeness of the Zoo, the amusement park, the Circus and the bath attracted the guests, who visited the restaurant for the excellent Hungarian cuisine and Hungarian wines, and for a refreshing draft beer and live music. The place was named by Earl István Széchenyi in 1996, in memoriam to his life and work with keeping alive the traditions of the Hungarian restaurants and pubs. Due to the atmosphere of turn of the century which is still specific to interior, spiced with a dash of Hungarian spirit, it gives nostalgic feeling to the restaurant. We stick to this milieu during the preparation of our menu offer: the traditional Hungarian cuisine, but same time neither the international cuisine specialties are missing.
