Budapest's Best Apartment Restaurants
- 22 May 2014 11:45 AM
- food & drink
By We Love Budapest : Apartment restaurants aren't anything new here, it's been a few years since the appearance of these "underground" gastro sanctuaries. The genre can be led back to Cuba, where after the victory of the revolution, Fidel Castro shut down the "imperialist" restaurants. Locals started to cook for themselves, and with ...

Hungarian Treasure: The Sweetest Museum In Budapest
- 9 Jan 2014 10:50 AM
- food & drink
When I was a kid, every Christmas Eve I’d eat dozens of apples, oranges, pears, bananas, grapes, and a whole watermelon with no problem at all. How could I do that? The fruits weren’t real.

Recently I discovered a ...

Xpat Opinion: Heavenly Hungarian Wine, Part 5: Tokaj & Gizella Pince
- 16 Jul 2013 9:00 AM
- food & drink
I can easily name a few wine regions that without doubt deserves much more attention. Tokaj is one of those. Yes, it is a well-known region, world famous even, but still very much in need of an update amongst a majority of the wine consumers. You see, not only are there more than sweet stuff emerging from Tokaj, but the amber shimmering elixir now also comes in a style that too many are yet to ...
Xpat Opinion: Heavenly Hungarian Wine, Szent Tamas By Istvan Szepsy
- 15 Apr 2013 9:00 AM
- food & drink
I can’t claim it came as a surprise to me; the quality of Tokaj Furmint. After all; the reason I finally visited the region and now had István Szepsy standing next to me, explaining about the complexity of the Szent Tamás site, was the amazing Tokaj wines I’ve had before, both dry and sweet. Curiosity and of course an urge to try to understand one of the most unique terroirs in the wine world, ...
