Xpat Opinion: Fine-Dining Experience In Budapest
- 9 May 2014 9:00 AM
- food & drink
The first Michelin star in Budapest was bestowed on Costes, a restaurant on Raday utca. Back in 2008, the owners decided that the restaurant needed a revamp. They took on Miguel Rocha Vieira from Portugal as executive chef and, with the help of the two-starred Francois Radolphe, it wasn’t long until Michelin gave its first star to Hungary. Curiosity finally got the better of me and I went to see ...

- food & drink
Vintage refers to any exciting object in good shape from clothing to furniture from the past era. But when it comes to wine, vintage has its own significance. It distinguishes us from the New World where there is only a slight difference between harvests and it has remarkable influence on the price of exceptional vintages.

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, ...
Xpat Opinion: Heavenly Hungarian Wine, Part 3: Grof Buttler Chardonnay
- 19 Mar 2013 8:00 AM
- food & drink
There’s something about Chardonnay. Think you’ve heard me saying that before. No other grape has shown such adaptability around the world with amazing end results. In times when Riesling seems to receive all the accolade, it is easy to forget the grape that for so many of us started the wine passion. Burgundy may still be the region functioning as the prototype, but I don’t think anyone will ...
