Previously Hungary's first 2-star Michelin restaurant, Onyx was closed in 2020 but plans a reopening in the summer of 2024. In the interim, they've introduced concept dinners in a new venue named Onyx Mühely ("mühely" translates to workshop).
Our evening commenced simultaneously for all guests with an aperitif at the esteemed Gerbeaud café, a hallmark of Budapest's culinary scene, exuding a classic French fine dining ambiance. Here, adorned with black suits and white gloves, the staff served the initial three courses, each a tribute to culinary heritage.
Following the third course, we embarked on a pre-informed venue switch, led by a service team member who guides us around the building were we re-entered it just on the opposite side of where the evening had started.
The venue could not have been more contrasting: A modern setting of glass and steel, where the same staff now wore white kitchen jackets and casual trousers.
This stark shift fostered a more interactive and engaging atmosphere among guests, encouraged to mingle and observe the culinary process up close. A highlight was the "will be" themed pre-dessert, savored amidst the ongoing renovations of the future Onyx, offering us a glimpse into its evolution.
The menu allowed for omnivore or vegetarian selections for several courses, with all other dishes being vegetarian. Each dish showcased bold yet welcoming flavors and textures, striking a perfect balance between creativity and familiarity.
Both the local wine and the non-alcoholic drink pairing were of excellent quality. The non-alcoholic pairings were exceptionally crafted, setting a new standard for us in terms of creating aromatic drinks that are no less exciting than the wines that are served. It has become somewhat trendy to offer these alternative drink pairings, yet many restaurants do not get the flavors right or default to off-the-shelf options. Onyx was spot on though.
The service transitioned seamlessly from professional to personable, mirroring the setting's transformation and effectively narrating Onyx's transformative journey through not just taste but also experience.This dining event was undeniably the most memorable I've ever encountered, transcending the realms of mere gastronomy to engage with the psychology of its guests, making it an unparalleled experience in every sense.
