Anniversary dinner ideas for a truly memorable evening
An anniversary is more than a date on the calendar - it's a memory worth reliving, together. If you want to make the evening really special, look for experiences that are elegant, personal and full of surprises. We'll show you an itinerary that starts at the Opera House, leads you through a candlelit dinner, then finishes with a stroll along Andrassy Avenue and a night out. Here are some anniversary dinner ideas guaranteed to make the occasion a memorable one.
Anniversary dinner ideas for an evening at the Opera
Few things can make an evening as festive as a performance at the Hungarian State Opera House. An anniversary is the perfect occasion to step out of the ordinary and enjoy the magic of culture, music and the performing arts. The elegance of the historic building, the gilded details and the atmosphere of the boxes of honour will make the evening a celebration from the first minutes. A classical opera or a modern ballet can be a new experience even if it's not your first time here.Anniversary dinner ideas with dishes from Callas Café & Restaurant
Stepping out of the Opera House, it's almost tempting to come in - Callas Café & Restaurant has the same elegance and sophistication. Our seasonally renewed menu also offers carefully selected dishes for festive occasions. On a night like this, a foie gras terrine or marinated salmon is a common choice with a glass of champagne, while main courses include a rosé duck breast or a special homemade pasta. For dessert, there's crème brűlée or a classic chocolate soufflé for a sweet finish. With three drink packages to choose from - more limited, more extensive or unlimited - it's easy to tailor your drinks to the mood of the evening. If you book in advance, we're also happy to create a bespoke menu for you, so that every bite is truly about you.

Callas is not just a restaurant, it's a restaurant with atmosphere, time travel and intimacy.

The proximity of the adjacent Opera House seems to seep through the walls: the place is not only elegant, but dignified. The atmosphere is not tense, but rather relaxing and prepares you for a long, intimate evening.

Anniversary dinner ideas topped off with a stroll along Andrassy Avenue
After dinner, you don't have to go straight home - on the contrary, this is when the mood of the evening really starts to deepen. A slow stroll along Andrassy Avenue, hand in hand, is always a good idea. The lights of the palaces, the tree-lined avenue and the silence of the night create a real urban romance. If you feel like it, you can even walk all the way to Heroes' Square, where the monumentality of the city puts your time together into perspective. This walk is a chance to talk, to laugh, to look back - and, of course, to get even more in tune with each other. A long, finely composed evening deserves a fitting end, and Andrassy Avenue is the perfect setting. You can even take a photo as a souvenir - at Heroes' Square, holding hands as the city lights embrace you.Anniversary dinner ideas with accommodation
If you don't want to interrupt the magic of the evening, it's also worth planning your accommodation in advance. Callas House, right next to our restaurant, is the perfect continuation of the evening in both style and quality. The rooms are elegant yet cosy, and the views in many cases overlook the city lights. There's no better way to end an anniversary evening than without having to call a taxi or head home - just walk up to your room, relive the evening's best moments over a glass of wine, and leave in the morning after enjoying our fantastic buffet. It's not only comfortable, it's romantic: you'll feel like you're in a world of your own in the heart of Budapest.Check out the rooms at Callas House here and book today - an evening like this deserves to end on a high note.
