Make your Pentecost weekend memorable at the breathtaking Buda Castle!

Join us to celebrate Pentecost this year at Aranybástya Restaurant and make your weekend unforgettable in the stunning surroundings of Buda Castle. We are thrilled to present our festive Hungarikum Menu in honor of this special occasion.

The word "Pentecost" comes from the Greek word "pentekoste," meaning fiftieth, as it is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter. In Hungary, one tradition during Pentecost is raising and dancing around a maypole, which symbolizes fertility and the forthcoming spring. The festivities typically entail parades, singing, and dancing with donations being collected throughout the village. Another tradition is when green branches and flowers are carried around the village to celebrate and welcome spring. One of the most significant Pentecost traditions is the election of the Pentecostal King. After completing a series of skillful tasks, the winner could enjoy free drinks at taverns for a year and was invited to every wedding. Usually, the poor rarely had the opportunity to consume meat, but after Easte the Pentecost holiday specifically revolved around eating meat dishes.

Join us in discovering authentic Hungarian folk traditions and welcoming spring with the most traditional Hungarian dishes and drinks on Pentecost weekend. Bring your family along and celebrate harvest and rebirth. Our Hungarikum drinks perfectly complement our finest traditional Hungarian dishes. Experience the spring atmosphere in the heart of Buda Castle on this special occasion with the hospitality of Aranybástya.
