Instant sightseeing tour

How can you show a city to your guests when you have no time at all? St Andrea Skybar is the perfect solution: the panoramic terrace on the 6th floor offers view of all parts of the Hungarian capital. Sightseeing done in 5 minutes – so let’s sit down and enjoy a „panoramic dinner”.

Juliet Victor Király Furmint, 2017

Our starter was Scottish salmon, cucumber, wasabi and joghurt with a touch of coriander. Refreshing and diverse flavours, they claim a refreshing yet complex wine. JV dry Furmint shows lovely pear, apple and even quince notes on the nose and in the aftertaste as well, and the noble minerality lifts the wine up and makes it an ideal companion of the starter.

Juliet Victor Betsek Furmint, 2017

The main course was a perfectly made omaha flank steak with smashed potatoes flavoured with truffles. The meal is a treat itself, but the wine pair, another dry Furmint made the experience truly unforgettable. Betsek Furmint was made exactly like Király Furmint, still the wines are absolutely different. Betsek boasts with rich minerality, even salty tones. Lemon, lime, grapefruit and herbaceous notes. And indeed! The wine was a dream partner of the meal in spite of the strong flavours of the latter one – or because of these flavours. We highly recommend it to every connoisseurs!

Juliet Victor Szamorodni, 2016

Our dessert was feather lightand pampering at the same the time: milk rice, “blonde chocolate” and peach. It needed a feather light and pampering wine, and JV Szamorodni fulfilled all the requirements. Lovely nose with apricot, lemon, lemon grass, chamomile and a hint of mint, and the palate is finely elevated by the vibrant acidity– which perfectly balances the 188 g residual sugar.

From Izrael to Kalifornia

Budapest is a cosmopolitan city with a constant flow of tourists, and local winelovers also have a thirst to taste the world, thus an excellent international wine selection is a real attraction. At Skybar we can taste iconwines like Opus One from Napa Valley, EgonMüller’s riesling from Mosel or a Chapoutier from Rhône Valley, but less known treasures are also available for explorers, like Cramele Recas Feteasca Neagra from Transylvania and Világi Kékfrankos from Slovakia (the southern region with mainly Hungarian habitants).

Maria, With love, Forever

Sounds like a prayer, doesn’t it? With reason. On one hand St Andrea Skybar displays the wines of the world with a well chosen selection, and one the other hand the bar concentrates on one single Hungarian winery, but also with an unparalleled range. St. Andrea Winery is situated in Eger wine region, and the artisan wines of the estate have caught the attention of several foreign experts. The name comes from a family story: the founder and chief winemaker, dr György Lőrincz won a wine competition with his own wine before having named his winery. To take the prize, a name needed, and all he could think was his beloved wife, Andrea. His love and his faith has pervaded his work ever since, and it is well displayed in the names of the wines. At Skybar all St Andrea wines are available, even older vintages, magnum bottles and rarities like Mysterium (a small volume wine made of Nebbiolo grape) or St Andrea Ajándék (’Gift’), a late harvest sweet Hárslevelű.
