Uniquely Hungary: Restaurant Gundel's Good Old Magic, By Anne Zwack
- 3 May 2016 9:00 AM
- food & drink
When I made my first fleeting visit to Budapest in 1975, the Gundel Restaurant was a burnt out husk: the grandiose old restaurant which took its name from Károly Gundel in 1910 had been destroyed by fire.

- current affairs
I just received Eleni Kounalakis’s Madam Ambassador: Three Years of Diplomacy, Dinner Parties, and Democracy in Budapest (New York: The New Press), recounting her years in Budapest as U.S. Ambassador. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the book, which luckily, despite its subtitle, has little to do with dinner parties. Instead, we have an account of the turbulent first three years of ...

By Tom Popper, Managing Editor, Budapest Business Journal: Back in July, this column bemoaned the delay by the U.S. Senate in approving Colleen Bell as the next American ambassador to Hungary. Shortly after that, current events forced America’s top local representative, André Goodfriend, to transform himself from a mild−mannered chargé d’affaires into a superhero, and we were perfectly happy to ...
