This ultra-chic, über-under-designed place (if such a thing is possible) is done in blues and muted browns and russets with a steel trim. It could be in Manhattan or Kensington and not on top of the former Jewish Quarter of Budapest. Food is a delicate, artistic take on Hungarian dishes made modern (duck liver with elderflower, fish soup with milt). Service is impeccable. Set menus only.
