A bite that will remind you of every summer spent at Lake Balaton - Lángosmágus
2015.10.08 16:30:07
The Indian summer is upon us, or as it’s sometimes called in Hungarian, the crones’ summer. It’s the time of the year when you can remain in denial and tell yourself that fall hasn’t arrived yet. You can still do the same things you did in August.
You can lie out in Erzsébet Square, read a…..
Balkan foods are currently enjoying a renaissance. It all began with the Montenegroi (in Hungarian), which to this day remains just as awe-inspiring as it was when it first opened years ago. It was followed by PolaPola (in Hungarian), which is located closer to the downtown area and in nicer…..
It’s quite interesting, that despite La Mimosa being only two streets away from me and on the way to my favorite breakfast joint Café Panini (in Hungarian), I only recently noticed it, even though it opened over a year ago. And then for my birthday my friend Ági grabbed a mille feuille from them…..

Konyha: the best thing that could have happened to gastronomy in Budapest
2015.09.24 12:13:44
We’ve written about this place on several occasions, first when it opened and began serving lunch menus (in Hungarian), and then Ádám discovered (also in Hungarian) that he loves working from here. Fortunately, he’s not the only one.
But something recently…..

Yes! The coolest city development project in Budapest is going ahead: The Danube embankments will be transformed!
2015.09.17 13:27:49
This is something that we’ve been waiting for pretty much ever since we’ve been writing this blog: Budapest is launching a design tender for plans to better incorporate the Danube into the city. What this means is that the first important step will be taken, and if everything goes according to…..

Bamba Marha: A Budapest Burger Joint Goes in Pursuit of the Fifth Flavor
2015.09.14 16:41:29
Ever since the gastro revolution, food renaissance, or whatever you want to call it occurred in Budapest, it’s become relatively difficult to share something truly new regarding food, especially when it comes to new hamburger joints opening in the city. We could write about some new place opening…..

What is it like to arrive at Keleti Train Station as a stranger?

It was roughly a year ago that Hamu és Gyémánt magazine asked me to prepare a series of interviews with foreigners living in Budapest who have excelled in some area of the arts. I really enjoyed the project, since I got to meet 20-30 people who saw Budapest as their destination and finally got to…..
As recently as a few years ago, the differences between the two cities were quite striking. Following the system change, Prague was fitted with attractive stone sidewalks seemingly overnight, making the downtown area so impressive that millions of Western tourists suddenly found themselves wandering…..
Here’s the newest in our series on Rákoczi Square. In the past, it had one of the worst reputations in the city, but these days it’s being rediscovered as a place where new and old architecture stand side-by-side in harmony. Rákóczi Square contains everything that makes District VIII…..
In addition to Saint Stephen, we also celebrate the New Bread on August 20th. In honor of this, Józsi the Baker organized a competition where bread was finally accorded the respect that it deserves. We didn't bake a massive loaf or string out of it that some state official can then cut in two, we…..
It’s relatively rare these days for me to find some kind of food in Budapest where I’m smiling as I stuff it into my mouth because it’s so new and good. In the glory days of the blog at the start of the gastro revolution, there was always something new and exciting to report on daily, but…..
In Central Budapest, you’ll find a square that’s been revived from the dead, so to speak. In the past, it had one of the worst reputations in the city, but these days it’s being rediscovered as a place where new and old architecture stand side-by-side in harmony. Rákóczi Square contains…..
You always need to experiment and invent new things, otherwise no one will be interested in what you have to offer ever since the street food revolution arrived in Budapest. There are just too many good options, so you have to stand out from the crowd.
And then so it happened that one day a food…..
Not long ago, I wrote about Péter, the owner of the Mahung Gastrojuice Vegabistro Veganpub, who I met years ago in a produce market. At the time he prepared (or “Mahunged”) five types of smoothies, as the sign in the window stated, which today has expanded to over 300 drinks with the most…..

Oriental Soup House: Fantastic Asian soups prepared right in front of your eyes
2015.08.16 11:19:26
Újlipótváros, the southern part of District XIII, is a peculiar area, for although the locals would have the means to support nice restaurants if they were to open in the area, you’ll only find a handful of options. Although it contains one of Budapest’s best…..

Petit Café – what it would be like if food carts caught on in Budapest
2015.08.13 16:06:01
Those who have walked along Király Street in recent weeks have probably come across this:
Or, from a closer angle:
Yes, we’re talking about a café and bicycle in one, or rather, a mobile coffee shop. They ride over here at 9 in the morning and sit around until 5 in the afternoon, when they…..
To be honest, I wanted to write this post back in the winter when Pörc, which is originally from Balatonkenese, first appeared in Budapest. The place was famous for selling quality cuts of meat in an area not exactly famous for quality ingredients (even though they produce some excellent…..

The costume designer who makes me love buying clothes for my wife

Fashion is not a topic that we really discuss on the blog. Part of the reason for this is that we can’t say we’re all that knowledgeable about it, not to mention that we’re men, and the picture below pretty much illustrates everything we know about the topic:
In contrast to this, women are…..

The first year anniversary of one of Budapest’s best and worst memorials
2015.07.29 11:08:00
There’s this “thing” on Szabadság Square, which was erected a year ago in total secrecy in memory of the German occupation, and which has serious shortcomings both aesthetically and with respect to its message.
It’s quite kitsch and looks as if the construction manager of a gated…..
Following up on our sightseeing in Madrid post, let’s get to a lunch in Budapest prepared by the chef who joined us in the Spanish capital with his wife as the winner of the Vodafone competition.
No, really!
During our trip, we learned that our traveling companion Jani is the chef at Castro…..
In recent decades, Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry has become a true national hero. After all, he has all the necessary attributes: he was only celebrated after his time, his canon of work is not only spectacular, but also unique, and his contemporaries in Hungarian society treated him as all future…..
We need more places like this. A lot of them.
La Nube’s entrance is simple and opens from a small side street off Bartók Béla Road. Beneath its name, they simply added in small letters: Café, Tapas. La Nube does not feature overthought minimalist design, it doesn’t contain trendy…..
One of the things from history class that not everyone fully grasped is that if you encounter a suffering person struggling with a problem, you can’t just kick them aside like a soccer ball in the hopes that someone else will take care of them. In part because it’s inhuman, as well as because…..
She might be young, but fashion designer Szandra Sándor has been making waves in the industry for the past ten years. By the time her name became widely known in Hungary, her designs were already popular in New York, Los Angeles and Madrid, and celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Selma Blair and…..
Ever since we first discovered them, one of our favorite burger places in the city has been Zing. This needs no explanation, judging from how busy they get during the day. Their concept is quite straightforward: good quality ingredients, carefully selected importers, a little experimentation with…..
