Since its 2011 inception in Finland, the international Restaurant Day food carnival (inviting ordinary people and organizations to open a temporary eatery in uncommon locations of their hometowns) continually spreads around the globe, and is now celebrated four times every year in numerous countries, like Argentina, Uzbekistan, Canada, Tanzania, New Zealand, Thailand, Nicaragua, and many other nations – including, of course, Hungary.

Autumn Brunch

Ordinarily, the concept of spending Saturday at an office is a loathsome prospect, but for Restaurant Day the Király Street setting of Pest’s Loffice co-working space is transformed by Chop into the appealing locale of a fine brunch, including fruity sweets, salty snacks, and excellent egg dishes (not to mention bloody Mary cocktails and “hangover juice”).

Sugar Rush

Budapest’s newest cake-making business is called PR, and to provide some public relations for this sweet start-up, the cool confectionery participates in Restaurant Day with a scrumptious selection of baked bliss. While colorfully creative cakes shine in the spotlight, quiches and bagels await those who prefer their doughy delights to be savory.
