So... Vennie & I were STARVING this afternoon and decided to venture out and find a new local Hungarian restaurant. This one in particular caught our eye... about 2 blocks away from our hotel in a "Row of Restaurants"... had a cute outdoor patio (that was, unfortunately, too rainy to eat on), and a HUGE red velour curtain as you walked through the door. AND a catchy "20 UNIQUE SALADS" written on the chalkboard out front... YUM! I'm sold! Let's go!
We "people watched" for about 2 hours... we got there at 4 and didn't leave until after 6! Groups of friends came and went, girls, guys, and EVERYONE ordered coffee and cappucino. How fantastic is that... just sitting, relaxing with an old or new friend, catching up on a comfy couch and not being bothered by pushy waiters? And that's all they order. No food, just coffee. And seriously, the waiters know that people that go out to eat and have coffee here like to take their time. You have to ask THEM for the bill when you're ready. Also, people always order dessert, if not an after-meal drink.
But WE were there for lunch/dinner... I ordered a DELICOUS Greek salad that was, honestly, the LIGHTEST salad I have ever had in my life. Greens, Feta cheese, tomatoes (that were peeled from the skin, beautifully), olives, basil, onion, tossed in an olive oil dressing. Delicious.
And Vennie got a GREAT chicken sandwich panini with basil and tomato and a side salad! It was so warm and served on fresh whole wheat bread... delicious!
Posing by my salad... why not?? Ha!
This meal was only $17 with tip... Is it just me or is Budapest getting cheaper and cheaper??
Cheers!
