Wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, fresh homemade pastas, charcoal-grilled meats, and tantalizing seafood dishes are the constant features of our seasonally changing menu.

1. Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Budapest, Hungary in 12th district and I also spent a lot of time in Balatonfüred as a child. So both the big city and the rural environment influenced my childhood.

2. If you could be an expat anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

I've always been a lover of Italy for some reason I feel a strong connection to Mediterranean countries. To this day I say that when I get older I would like to live there. :)

3. What would you miss most if you moved away from Hungary?

As I believe is the case with most people, I would miss my family the most.

4. Friends are in Budapest for a weekend - what must they absolutely see and do?

The best way to explore the city is on foot and in our small town there are many beautiful buildings and charming streets. With a delicious specialty coffee in hand and enjoying an artisanal pastry you can have great walks in the 5th, 6th, and 7th districts.

Don't miss the Buda Castle, walk across the Chain Bridge, and stroll along the riverside at sunset. In the evening, have a glass of Hungarian wine at Marlou.

5. What is your favourite food?

I can’t name a favourite but I’m always happy to eat pasta.

6. What is your favourite sport / form of exercise?

Water polo for sure, but in theses days padel has also had a big impact on me.

7. What is your favourite place in Hungary?

Lake Balaton, Tihany.

8. What career other than yours would you love to pursue?

Fortunately, I've always known what I want to do, so it's hard for me to imagine something else for myself. Though for a day, I'd love to be a professional jazz pianist.

9. What’s a job you would definitely never want?

I really respect all the doctors, but I could never be one myself.

10. Where did you spend your last vacation?

We went to Rome with colleagues to visit a restaurant and tried to get inspired.

11. Where do you hope to spend your next one?

Music has always been a peculiar part of my life.

14. Red wine or white?

16. Morning person or night person?

Actually, I can do both - I enjoy and am capable of waking up early, but I can also stay up late in the evening without any problem if needed

17. Which social issue do you feel most strongly about?

I feel passionate about environmental protection because I believe in the importance of a sustainable future and the preservation of natural resources.

After quitting water polo I had to start a completely different life which was very scary at the time. Now I am very grateful for where I work, what I do.
