The story of Pink Pistachio Brunch Budapest
Pink Pistachio Brunch Budapest is built on the belief that hospitality is not merely an industry, but a matter of the heart.
From pistachio-driven gastronomy to people-centered experiences, everything we create reflects this philosophy.
Hospitality without compromise
The names Brunner Bernadett and Brunner Zsolt resonate with those who believe that hospitality is not merely an industry, but a matter of the heart. From the northern shore of Lake Balaton to the capital city, within their 100% Hungarian-owned ventures, they work with a clear purpose: to ensure that gastronomy is no longer simply “good,” but truly memorable. They create spaces where it feels good to arrive - and even better to stay.
Their experiences gathered across different parts of the world live on within them as memories, scents, flavors, and emotions, and these form the foundation of every concept they create. For them, food, beverages, and environment are not separate elements, but interdependent layers that amplify one another. They offer a holistic guest experience - one in which the soul and heart of the husband-and-wife team are unmistakably present.
At the core of the Pink Pistachio Brunch Budapest philosophy lies people-centered hospitality. They believe that excellence is not the result of coincidence, but of a consciously designed and consistently executed system. The guest experience is personal, the atmosphere authentic, and the food and drinks are, without exception, of impeccable quality.
Pistachio is more than a flavor - it defines who we are.
From Sicily to Pink Pistachio Brunch
Their distinctive relationship with pistachio traces back to Sicily, to the founding period of Levendula Kézműves Fagylaltozók. What began as a passion-driven venture has since grown into a nationwide, successfully operating franchise network and has become a defining force in Hungary’s artisanal ice cream culture. The deep understanding of raw materials, uncompromising quality standards, and disciplined consistency developed there later became the foundation of every subsequent concept. When founding Pink Pistachio Brunch, they were guided by the very same question: how to transform ingredients into harmony and experience.
The pistachio used today still arrives directly from Italy. In both volume and quality, it stands out even on a European scale. This intensely aromatic, authentic ingredient defines the very essence of Pink Pistachio Brunch’s character-appearing consistently across dishes, beverages, desserts, and the world of coffee alike.
Pistachio Without Compromise
From the very beginning, the founders set out with a clear flagship mission: to introduce the true, premium quality of pistachio to both Budapest locals and international visitors. To perfect their pistachio pesto and sauce recipes, they personally traveled to Sicilian small-scale producers, where they learned decades-old techniques and authentic formulations at the source. Only carefully selected, top-tier pistachio ever enters their kitchens and storage facilities - ensuring the intense, distinctive flavor profile that has become one of the most defining hallmarks of Pink Pistachio Brunch.
Where direction matters more than trends
Here, pistachio is not decoration and not merely a flavor. It is a refined interplay of tastes, aromas, textures, and creative pairings-bold, yet always perfectly balanced.
At the core of the philosophy is people-centered hospitality. High standards are not a matter of luck, but the outcome of deliberate, carefully composed design. They believe a guest experience becomes truly lasting only when every element of the environment is authentic, and the food and beverages are consistently flawless-something they work relentlessly to ensure.
The space and atmosphere were created with the same intention and attention to detail. Inspirations from their travels subtly reappear throughout the interior, the musical selection, and the small yet defining details - such as beverages served in handcrafted porcelain brought back from Egypt, enhancing the experience both visually and sensorially.
At Pink Pistachio Brunch Budapest, every detail has meaning.
From the choice of ingredients to the atmosphere we create, nothing is accidental. We believe that true hospitality is felt rather than explained - in the way a place welcomes you, the way flavors unfold, and the way moments stay with you long after you leave.
If you wish to escape. If you wish to arrive.
Pink Pistachio Brunch is a conscious escape from everyday life. The founders take pride in having created a place that serves as a refuge from the constant rush of daily routines.
It is an unmistakably adult-friendly environment where friendly gatherings, business meetings, and dates alike feel perfectly at home. A place where modern gastronomy, aesthetics, and people-centered hospitality come together as a natural, effortless unity.
Pink Pistachio Brunch Budapest is a place where gastronomy, design and community come together.
