Where's The (Best) Beef In Budapest?

Local expat Rob Longworth has been in the hospitality /restaurant industry in Hungary since 1995.

Xpat Opinion: Budapest Chinese Market Closing?

Around 100,000 Chinese live in Hungary, and Budapest has its own Chinatown, well, a sprawling China-shanty-town. It's a real oddity, and if not the most immediate of local attractions, it is a side of the city that's bafflingly interesting, in a grimy kind of way. ...

Having a free Sunday morning on my hands, a friend and I visited the Szimplakert Haztaji Market. The great ambiance was still there.

- shopping
Sunday morning Lydia and I explored the newish Szimplakert Haztaji Piac (open Sunday 9-14, Kazinczy u. 14, VII ker). I cannot stand the crowds at night at Szimpla, so I tend to avoid it. However, during the day it is a much different and mellow place to hang out. They recently started a croft or market garden on Sundays. There is another one popping up at Margit u. off of Margit Krt. This was set ...
