According to turizmus.com, a Hungarian tourism news media outlet, the Vén Hajó Restaurant has moved from the Vigadó Tér pier to the Akadémia 2 pier, near Budapest’s illustrious Chain Bridge.

However, not only relocation happened. Guests can spend their evening and get delicious dishes in a panoramic restaurant with a capacity of almost 200 people and a view of Budapest’s must-see sights, including the Buda Castle, the Chain Bridge and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Street food, private room, cruise experience

The Európa Rendezvényiroda Ltd, the operator of the restaurant, told Turizmus.com that the fusion of the Vén Hajó Restaurant and the Stadt Wien boat would open new horizons for the guests. Apart from the panoramic terrace, there are four private rooms for even gatherings between friends. Furthermore, it will also be able to move on the river. You may check out their menu HERE.

The sister boat of the Stadt Wien is the Széchenyi. Therefore, you can check out the iconic paddle boat while sitting in the restaurant. Moreover, a new burger place will open on the ship this summer. Therefore, those who love street food will also feel comfortable there.
