ONYX Restaurant in Budapest

ONYX
The restaurant of the future.
A possible future.
As we see it.
Join us on an 11-course journey from the 1700s to the distant future, all the way to the 3000s, where a piece of science fiction comes to life before our eyes. A key message of our immersive experience is to explore the concept of deep adaptation, which prepares us to embrace future changes. The future, however, is unknown and intangible, just like the universe; ÆTHER

EXPERIENCE
Three different spaces, three different eras, one evening.
As you take your seat at the 16-person communal table, you already sense that this is not an ordinary dinner. We travel back to the beginning. The noise of steam engines, metallic vibrations — the birth of the Industrial Revolution. The age of the first restaurants, the revolutionary moments of food preservation. Canning, fermentation, the tin can — this era isn’t about noise, but about the realization that food is not just nourishment, but knowledge, survival and connection.
Then the space shifts. Everything around you gradually transforms. We are in the present — this fragile moment full of possibilities. But the sense of arrival is replaced by curiosity as our journey continues into the future: What will we eat in a hundred, two hundred, a thousand years? What will the future preserve of our flavours? The lights take on a subtle new rhythm, the sounds evoke new sensations. The character of the dishes evolves too — more experimental, more surprising. The conversations around the table briefly connect you to others.
Other times, you just observe. The lights. The flavours. The story.
You immerse yourself in this world, in this experience.
