ISSEI Restaurant has been recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards with the title of Best Luxury Asian Fusion Cuisine in Budapest, Hungary, marking a significant distinction for the venue’s contribution to the city’s upscale dining landscape.

Established in 2025, ISSEI Skybar & Restaurant has built a strong presence in Budapest through its rooftop dining concept, bringing together Japanese–Peruvian fusion cuisine, signature cocktails, and panoramic views over the city. Located next to St. Stephen’s Basilica within Radisson Collection Hotel, Basilica Budapest, the restaurant presents a contemporary setting shaped by gastronomy, design, and atmosphere.

At the center of ISSEI’s identity is its Nikkei culinary direction, which introduces a distinctive combination of Japanese precision and Peruvian influence to Budapest’s dining scene. Its menu evolves with seasonal ingredients and contemporary presentation, while the cocktail program reflects the same level of detail and character. This approach has positioned the restaurant as a notable destination for local and international guests seeking a refined rooftop experience.

“We are incredibly proud to see ISSEI recognized on an international level for its culinary vision and guest experience. This award reflects the passion and dedication of our entire team, who continuously strive to deliver something truly distinctive in Budapest. ISSEI is more than a restaurant – it is a part of our hotel’s identity, where together we create memorable moments for our guests.” Says General Manager Norbert Polyák

ISSEI serves an international clientele from across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with an experience defined by attentive service, a strong sense of place, and a carefully considered guest journey. The team supports consistency through staff training, quality control across kitchen and bar operations, and regular review of guest feedback.

“ISSEI Restaurant represents a distinctive expression of contemporary dining in Budapest, combining a refined culinary concept with an elevated sense of place. This recognition reflects the restaurant’s clear identity and its contribution to the city’s luxury hospitality offering,” said Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce.
