Welcome . My name is Andras Wolf, I am Chef de Cuisine at New York Cafe and the Salon Restaurant. In the footsteps of my father I fell in love with gastronomy as a child. Since I was a youngster I have been committed to the reinvention of Hungarian cuisine and the redefinition of long forgotten traditional Hungarian dishes. I am a firm believer of using local authentic quality ingredients only. I considered the 2009 invitation to head the kitchen at New York Cafe and the Salon Restaurant a serious challenge. Delivering excellence for a five star hotel, the prettiest cafe in the world and one of the most elegant restaurants in the city is not a regular job. My priority is to conserve and reshape traditional Hungarian dishes. As a result of my experimenting during the years a new concept was born: Essential Hungarian Gastronomy. According to this method preserving the most important characteristic of the dishes – their taste – but altering their texture, shape, preparation and serving modern, even more enjoyable creations are born.
