Émile: A Culinary Gem In The Buda Hills

I’ve passed this Buda villa several times, and was intrigued to find out what it was like inside as I'd asked friends and no-one I knew had visited. So recently, rather than go to one of my usual haunts, I ventured over to leafy Buda - and was definitely not disappointed to make the trip across the river. Set in the leafy 2nd district, it felt like being in South Kensington at a place exuding an ...

The catchy festival slogan is 'to maintain traditions, gastronomy and folklore', anyway we're sure pork lovers will find the ...

See What Happened @ DreherFest 2016
- 29 Aug 2016 9:12 AM

The festival classifies itself as an underground event, probably because of its location. The courtyard of the Dreher Breweries in Budapest Kőbánya district became a festival center once again from 26th -28th August. Guests were treated to plenty of Hungarian beer and bands, with nearly 140 beers on tap to try. The performing bands included Péterfy Bori & Love Band, Vad Fruttik, Žagar, Ivan & the ...
Bambi - Hungary’s (In)Famous National Soft Drink
- 1 Jul 2016 9:00 AM
- food & drink
Before Coca Cola was introduced to Hungarian consumers in 1968, and prior to Pepsi’s 1970 debut in socialist Hungary, the young and the old alike drank and presumably enjoyed an orange soda called Bambi. Earlier today, being in Budapest, I decided to stop by one of my favourite retro-themed cafés–Ibolya Presszó, located in Ferenciek tere–and give Bambi a try, alongside some water, coffee and the ...

In an ordinary goulash soup you will find normal beef chopped in bite-sized pieces, potatoes, onions and paprika. However, the restaurant at the corner of Huszár and Munkás streets doesn’t offer a lot of ordinary things. The traditional, usually rather boring dishes are presented here in a renewed way, with a modern international flair.
