A hotel Sunday brunch in Budapest costs 19,900 to 29,500 HUF a person: DNB at the Budapest Marriott runs an all-you-can-eat buffet with unlimited Sauska sparkling wine every Sunday from 12:00 to 15:00 for 22,900 HUF until the Advent brunches start on 29 November, and Spago at Matild Palace does the same hours with unlimited sparkling wine for 29,500 HUF, both plus a 15% service charge. Al Habtoor Palace (the former Ritz-Carlton) is the cheapest at 19,900 HUF from 12:30, while Kollázs at the Four Seasons and ÉS Bisztró at the Kempinski serve their Sunday brunch from the menu rather than a buffet.
This page is about the long, seated, fixed-price hotel Sunday. If you want eggs and coffee in a café on any morning, our best breakfast in Budapest guide covers that.

Which Sunday brunch suits you
DNB at the Budapest Marriott: the classic buffet
What it is: the Marriott’s riverside restaurant turns into a full Sunday buffet: a live carving station (on the menu dated 8 November, prawns with chili and garlic and a whole roasted Angus sirloin), a cold buffet with sushi, smoked salmon, goose liver pâté and cheeses, a hot buffet, soups, a dessert buffet and a children’s corner with pinsa and fried chicken.
Who it suits: families and anyone who wants everything included. The price covers unlimited Sauska sparkling wine, wine, beer, Lillet cocktails, soft drinks, water, coffee and tea, and there is a Happy Kids corner with activities, three hours of free parking and a child discount. The weakness is the menu’s age split: children under 6 are free and 6 to 12 pay half, so a family with teenagers pays full price for them.
Insider tip: ask for a window table when you book. The restaurant sits on the Danube with a panoramic view, and a window seat is the table to have. Leave room for the dessert buffet, which on the 8 November menu ran to strudels, poppy seed bread pudding and a Black Forest trifle.
The facts: every Sunday until the Advent brunches start on 29 November, 12:00 to 15:00, 22,900 HUF a person including VAT, plus a 15% service charge (26,335 HUF, about $81). Two drinks upgrades are sold only for the whole table: unlimited Moët & Chandon for 7,500 HUF (about $23) a person, or a premium wine and Champagne package for 9,500 HUF (about $29). The menu changes weekly. Book through the “Join Us for Brunch” link on the Marriott dining page or on +36 20 444 6169.

Spago at Matild Palace: the splurge
What it is: Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant in Matild Palace on Váci utca runs a “Sunday Sparkling Brunch” with open kitchens, charcoal-grilled dishes and carving stations, antipasti, Japanese-style plates, pizzas from the oven, cheeses and charcuterie, poke bowls and a dessert table that mixes international and Hungarian sweets.
Who it suits: a birthday, an anniversary or a long lunch with friends where the setting is half the point. It is the most expensive of the five, and the price covers unlimited sparkling wine, water, soft drinks, coffee and tea; wine is not on that list. For families there is a children’s menu and a children’s cooking class every Sunday from 14:00 to 15:00.
Insider tip: book the 12:00 start. The brunch ends at 15:00 whatever time you arrive, and the cooking class in the last hour lets the adults finish dessert in peace.
The facts: every Sunday 12:00 to 15:00, 29,500 HUF a person plus a 15% service charge (33,925 HUF, about $105). Children under 6 eat free; ages 7 to 12 pay 14,500 HUF plus 15%. A bottle of Billecart-Salmon Champagne costs 35,000 HUF (about $108) plus 15%. Book online, on +36 70 534 9000 or at spagohu@wolfgangpuck.com.

Al Habtoor Palace: the lowest price, under the dome
What it is: the Sunday Brunch at the Palace in the Kupola Lounge of Al Habtoor Palace on Erzsébet tér, the hotel that was the Ritz-Carlton. It is a hybrid rather than a pure buffet: a steak carving and Eggs Benedict station, an Italian set menu served to share at the table, an Art of Cakes display by chef István Mazás, and live entertainment through the afternoon.
Who it suits: couples and small groups who want the drinks included for less money. The price covers free-flowing sparkling wines, cocktails, soft drinks and coffee. The weakness is what the page leaves out: no child price and no service charge are published, so you only see the full bill when you book.
Insider tip: the brunch runs 12:30 to 15:00, half an hour shorter than DNB and Spago, so arrive at the start.
The facts: every Sunday 12:30 to 15:00, 19,900 HUF a person. Book through the “Read More & Book Table” link on the hotel’s offer page or on +36 1 429 5757.

Kollázs at the Four Seasons: three courses and a view of the Chain Bridge
What it is: the brasserie of the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace, overlooking the Chain Bridge and the Danube. The Sunday brunch is a set price for one starter, one main and one dessert chosen from the brunch menu: croissants with poached eggs, French onion soup, goulash or an Eggs Benedict to start, then a meat or fish of the day or a Wiener schnitzel as a main, then crème brûlée or a French toast to share.
Who it suits: people who would rather be served than queue at a buffet, and anyone who wants a later finish: it runs until 16:00. The weakness is the drinks: the price covers hot drinks, water and juice, and a Mimosa (5,900 HUF) or a glass of Champagne is extra.
Insider tip: order the French toast to share for dessert. Sunday brings live music to the brasserie too.
The facts: every Sunday 12:00 to 16:00, 23,900 HUF a person including VAT, plus a 15% service charge (27,485 HUF, about $85). Each dish on the brunch menu also carries its own price, so ask whether your choices fall within the set when you order. Book through the reservations page on the Kollázs website or on +36 30 498 5816.

ÉS Bisztró at the Kempinski: à la carte, until four
What it is: the bistro of the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus on Erzsébet tér, and its Sunday brunch is not a buffet: you order from a brunch menu built on Austro-Hungarian dishes, such as Eggs Benedict (3,980 HUF), a Sunday roast of Beef Wellington prepared in front of you by the chef (10,980 HUF) and Tafelspitz in three courses (8,760 HUF), with a raw bar and desserts.
Who it suits: a smaller appetite, or a group where not everyone wants a full buffet, since each person pays only for what they order. It is also the longest sitting, 11:30 to 16:00, with a DJ or live music and free garage parking during brunch. The weakness for the buffet seeker: nothing is included, and a big table can end up costing more than a fixed price.
Insider tip: the Tafelspitz is the dish to order here, served the Viennese way from the broth and bone marrow to the beef with horseradish.
The facts: every Sunday 11:30 to 16:00. Prices on the menu include VAT, and a 15% service charge is added. Two two-hour free-flow drinks packages cost 14,800 HUF or 24,800 HUF a person; only one package can be ordered per table. Book online or on +36 20 474 5000.

Before you book
- Do the service charge maths. DNB, Spago, Kollázs and ÉS Bisztró add 15% to the listed price, and it lands on the bill, not on the booking page. On top of that, a tip is up to you: our tipping guide explains how the service charge and a tip relate in Hungary.
- Book, and book early for a group. All five take reservations; for a group, book a few days ahead rather than on the morning.
- Arrive at the start. Every brunch here has a fixed finish (15:00 at DNB, Spago and Al Habtoor, 16:00 at Kollázs and ÉS Bisztró), so a 13:30 table at a 15:00 brunch is half a brunch.
- Drinks packages are often for the whole table. DNB sells its Moët and premium wine upgrades only for the entire table, and ÉS Bisztró allows one free-flow package per table, so agree before you order.
- Check the child age bands. Under 6 is free at DNB and Spago, but the paid band differs: 6 to 12 at half price at DNB, 7 to 12 at a set price at Spago.
- Coming by car? DNB includes three hours of free parking and ÉS Bisztró free garage parking during brunch.
Advent and Christmas brunches in 2026
From the last Sunday of November the hotels switch to dated festive brunches, and Christmas Day (Friday 25 December 2026) gets its own.

| Corinthia, Brasserie & Atrium | Santa Claus Brunch, Voices of Christmas Brunch, Christmas Day Brunch | 6, 13, 25 Dec | Not published | Not published | A small gift from Santa on 6 Dec |
At DNB the weekly brunch gives way to an Advent buffet whose price includes unlimited Hungarian wine and sparkling wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee, tea and water, with fish soup, venison with dried plums, duck liver and bejgli among the dishes; both Christmas brunches are paid in full when you book and can be refunded until 20 December. Spago dresses its brunch in gold for the season, and the festive price includes more than the weekly one: mineral water, soft drinks, prosecco, a wine selection by the sommelier, coffee and tea. Al Habtoor moves its Advent brunches to its Ottimo restaurant, with a gingerbread decorating class for children and a visit from Father Christmas on one of the four Sundays, and brings the Christmas Day buffet, with a whole roasted turkey and live music, back under the Kupola dome. At the Kempinski, the Christmas Day brunch is a buffet, unlike the regular Sundays, and the price includes festive dishes, drinks, live music and free parking; ÉS Bisztró asks for 100% prepayment to confirm the table. Corinthia lays on festive buffets in its Atrium on 6 December, when Santa brings a gift for younger guests, on 13 December with a children’s choir and live music, and on Christmas Day; book by email at festive.budapest@corinthia.com.
