Xpat Pub Review: “Dis Is De Place!” In Budapest
- 29 Sep 2010 9:55 AM
- food & drink
I really love it when the name of a pub fits so nicely into the title of an article. So, yes, De Place is the newest addition to the continually resurgent Dohany utca, at number 39, just a couple of blocks from the New York Palace. Further along Dohany u. is the newly-opened Zara Continental four-star hotel, and just across the street from De Place is the Indian restaurant, Durbar. I added that ...

This listed-building has recently received Euro 50 million worth of renovations to create a blend of art nouveau; art deco and modern design, all of which still manages to respect the tradition of the first baths built on this site in 1827.

Xpat Review: Fiktív Really Is One Of Budapest’s Coziest Pubs
- 22 Sep 2010 8:40 AM
- food & drink
Walk along the busy bar-filled street of Krudy Gyula u., just off Mikszáth Kalmán Tér, and you’ll bump into one of Budapest’s least known pubs – and certainly one of its coziest. The Fiktív Pub has been on the corner of Horánszky u. since 2007, but it’s already one of the most popular places in this resurgent area of the 8th District. I popped in on a cool and rainy Saturday evening, and found ...

Xpat Review: Baby Blue Banana Comedy In Budapest

"BBB brought yet another huge stand-up comedy name to the stage this Tuesday night. The show was ably MC-ed by English comedian Dave Thompson who has himself headlined several times in Budapest. Dave did a good job warming up the crowd for headliner Jim Tavaré. I have found opening act Miklos Galla (famous in Hungary for translating Monty Python's Flying Circus into Hungarian) decidedly unfunny ...

Xpat Review: Italian Restaurant Dazzles In Buda
- 9 Sep 2010 8:35 AM
- food & drink
I must admit I don’t eat in Buda too often. I find so much variety and enjoyment in the restaurants in Pest. Recently, however, I was invited for dinner at the newly-opened Alessio Italian restaurant at Pasaréti út 55. And it was a very nice surprise.
Xpat Review: At The Races In Budapest With Treehugger Dan

"Sunday afternoon I finally went to the horse races at Kincsem Park in Budapest. This venue was built in 1925, and named after the horse Kincsem that won 54 races in the 1870's. It is very easy to get to - just take Metro 2 to the Pillango Ut stop. Go around the station through the tunnel and then follow the path along the white railings (bear left). Amazingly, entry is free and refreshments are ...
