A prime example of the meeting between history and gastronomy is our restaurant’s iconic dish, the M.69 crispy pork knuckle. It gets its name from the M.69 officer’s saber, which is reflected not only in the presentation but also in the overall concept of the dish. This dish both honors the past and brings a modern twist to traditional Hungarian flavors.

The Secret of the M.69 crispy pork knuckle

The heart and soul of the dish lies in the perfectly prepared high-quality ingredients, which is a true masterpiece:

  • The pork knuckle is slow-cooked at low heat for 12 hours to achieve a tender and juicy texture. Before serving, it is deep-fried in hot fat for 8 minutes.
  • The result is a melt-in-your-mouth, juicy interior and a perfectly crispy, slightly bubbly skin on the outside.

Perfect accompaniments

The M.69 crispy pork knuckle is served with carefully selected side dishes, which further enhance the dining experience:

  • Roasted Potato: We roast new potatoes with crispy bacon and fresh spring onions to add rich, unique flavors to complement the dish.
  • Pickles: The freshness and acidity of the pickles wonderfully balance the richness of the pork knuckle and the potatoes.
  • Jus: The smooth, rich jus adds a touch of luxury to the plate, bringing together the different flavors, making dipping into it an experience in itself.

The historical heritage of the Főőrség

The story behind the dish also makes the experience special. The Hungarian Royal Guard, founded in 1904, was one of the most renowned ceremonial bodies of the interwar period. Today, a restaurant and café operate in the building of the Főőrség, blending historical heritage with modern gastronomic experiences.
