The show · part of both dinners

Sword fighting, belly dancers & a royal jester, all in the price

Apostolok is one of the few restaurants in Budapest where dinner comes with a full live show. Live acts take over the hall about every 20 minutes, at both dinners, seven days a week. There is no separate ticket to buy.

The royal jester keeps every table laughing, while the juggler surprises guests throughout the evening.

Musicians keep the hall alive with live medieval music for the whole of your dinner.

The house on Kígyó utca

A Budapest original since 1903

Apostolok has stood on Kígyó utca, in the heart of Budapest's Inner City, since 1903. The restaurant is set in a protected historic building, with carved details, vaulted ceilings, mosaic floors and the original apostle mosaics that gave the house its name — Apostolok means “The Apostles” in Hungarian.

For more than a century, locals and travellers have gathered here to eat well and celebrate. Today the old house has been reborn as the court of King Matthias Corvinus — the raven king whose crest still watches over every table — with a medieval dinner and live shows every single day.

Guest reviews

What guests say about their night at Apostolok

  • “Such a great place, and the entertainment is great too. Staff are helpful, speaks fluent English and goes out of their way to put a smile on your face. Food portions are proper! That plate for one is lowkey enough for two. Stay till you have witnessed the fire show, belly dancing and the jester. Highly recommend!”
    Alicia K. · Google review
  • “We had so much fun at this restaurant tonight. The food was very good. I had the ribs and my spouse had the chicken skewers. The service was right on time. The entertainment is what will draw you in and keep your attention. Sword swallowers. Flame twirlers. Belly dancers. It was a lot of fun and you should go there if you want to have a good meal and have a lot of fun.”
    Sally E. · Google review
  • “Great experience and service! Half roasted chicken and the garlic cream soup was fantastic. They played music along the lines of “90s rap goes medieval.” It was awesome!”
    Monica G. · Google review
  • “We arrived quite late, but we still received such a warm and welcoming greeting. We had the Feast for Two, which was truly amazing! The fire show was incredibly creative and very well performed. I would definitely come back and can only recommend this place. The peanuts and pálinka were also such a nice touch! :))”
