Art Fanatics in Art Hall

An exhibition called Art Fanatics can be seen in the Art Hall at the Heroes Square in Budapest between April 3rd and May 23rd. It shows the private collection of several Hungarians. Not to much of a thrill to foreigners maybe, but if you still visit the Heroes Square and need to use the toilet in the basement of the Art Hall, then maybe you could check out the exhibition as well, while there.

Best restaurants in Budapest 2009

I just thought I’d throw away some old papers and magazine here the other day, and then I found the November edition of Time Out Budapest. In the paper they published their Budapest Restaurant awards for 2009, and I thought I’d just share their results, for those who haven’t read the magazine. One thing interesting to see is that in 2009 November, before Coster received its Via Michelin star, Time Out Budapest already considered the restaurant to be the best contemporary international restaurant in Budapest.
