Located on the seventh floor of the Dorothea Hotel in Budapest, BIBO Budapest is part of the international restaurant concept by three-Michelin-starred Spanish chef Dani García. The restaurant combines the character of Spanish gastronomy with the distinctive elements of Hungarian cuisine, set within an exclusive interior design concept.
The kitchen and bar technology design began in 2023, starting with concept development and space planning. The project was carried out in close collaboration with the project manager from Dani García’s Spanish team, the interior design and architectural teams, and the investor.
In keeping with the distinctive interior, particular attention was paid to aligning kitchen workflows with the visual connection to the guest area, while integrating the highest standards of professional kitchen technology. The installation includes Meiko M-iClean dishwashing technology, a Vianen extraction system, Convotherm combi ovens, Gamko beverage coolers, and a Josper charcoal oven.
A defining element of the project is the custom-designed and manufactured counter and bar systems, which bring together professional functionality and the exclusive interior design concept.
One of the project’s most significant technical challenges was lifting the large counters into the building by crane via the rooftop terrace, as they could not be transported through the lifts or stairwells.
A.MeCoD was involved throughout the entire process, from initial concept design and the development of the technological systems to equipment delivery and installation, providing comprehensive, tailor-made solutions to support BIBO Budapest’s internationally renowned gastronomic concept.
