A trip to Maccies is all about ease and speed — you can be chowing down on fries, some nuggets and maybe a McFlurry, in mere moments.
But it turns out, a visit to the fast food chain can be so much more. Well, at least it can if you live in Budapest.
That’s because a McDonald’s restaurant in the city, which has been hailed the world’s most beautiful, has launched a rather unique series of late night DJ sets, so you can now grab a Big Mac and boogie on down.
The restaurant at Nyugati Railway Station recently re-opened after undergoing an eight-month refurbishment, and to celebrate being back they’ve launched a special new Nyugati Lounge music programme.

Taking place on Friday and Saturday nights each week, the immersive events see the grand colonial ceiling of the McDonald’s restaurant transform with ‘mesmerising’ light paintings. These depict everything from a journey through space, or the jungle, to fish swimming in the depths of the ocean.
As well as the impressive spectacle, there are also DJs spinning the decks live between 10pm and 4am, playing music as you grab a bite before or after a night out.
The unique events will be running until the end of the year, and some of the acts that have already performed include Lauer, Bela Galik, and Nigel Sorter.
Photos and videos of the unique McDonald’s experience have gone viral online, with one TikTok by @budapest_insider garnering more than 98,500 likes.
In the comments people were quick to say it looked ‘cool’, ‘amazing’, ‘incredible’ and ‘awesome’, while others were desperate to visit.
But even if you can’t make it to the capital of Hungary before the end of 2024, the stunning McDonald’s restaurant is still worth a visit for fast food fans even without the DJs.
McDonald’s might boast over 35,000 restaurants in over 100 countries across the globe, but Lonely Planet has described this one as the ‘most elegant’.
Originally opened in 1990 in a historic building designed by the Gustave Eiffel Company — years before they completed the eponymous Eiffel Tower — this iconic location has long been admired for its architectural grandeur.
On Tripadvisor, the fast food joint boasts a four-star rating, with reviewer Kathryn E saying: ‘This McDonald’s is an experience. It is in what was probably the original station restaurant and is gorgeous. We found Budapest a very beautiful city, and this McD’s emphasised that beauty.’
It’s a very grand Maccies. (Picture: McDonald’s)
