i. Biography
Chef de Cuisine at Stand in Budapest, Szabina Szulló is visible through a compact record that still reads as current practice rather than retrospective summary. The work is anchored in Budapest, where her name is attached to two restaurants and her role is defined by direct kitchen responsibility rather than distance from it.
Coming Up
Technique sits close to the center of Szabina Szulló’s public profile, and the Hungarian Bocuse d'Or Academy is the clearest marker of that training. The Academy places the emphasis on precision and competitive standards, and that framing suits a career that has stayed tightly focused. In 2025, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award, a recognition that landed while her work was still being actively carried through daily leadership. She is chef and co-owner of Stand25 Bistro and chef and co-owner of Stand Restaurant, with both Budapest addresses carrying her name as part of their operating identity.

Signature
Gulyás and Somlói are listed as Szabina Szulló’s signature dishes, and that pairing says a great deal in a small space. One points to savory depth and the other to a more layered sweetness, giving her range a clear shape without overexplaining it. In profiles this concise, named dishes do the trade work of identifying what a kitchen is known for: not abstraction, but a repeatable set of tastes and forms.
Honors
Chef of the Year Prize (shared with Tamás Széll) in 2023 is the other named distinction in Szabina Szulló’s record, and it sits alongside her Lifetime Achievement Award (2025). Taken together, the two honors mark a strong year of recognition for a chef whose public profile is brief but direct. Set against her roles at Stand25 Bistro and Stand Restaurant, the awards confirm a standing built on formal training at Hungarian Bocuse d'Or Academy and on consistent leadership in Budapest.
