"It’s baaa—aaack! Yep, Café Alibi (Hungarian pronunciation: Awl-ee-bee) has remodeled and renovated and expanded and re-opened its doors. And not a moment too soon. I had started to have cheesecake withdrawal symptoms, and have been saved from a fate worse than substituting a Dobos Torta for my favorite Budapest cheesecake. Just in time for the autumn student rush, Café Alibi is once again open ...

- 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 ...
