 Many locals and foreigners staying, working in Budapest already know that this is the one-and-only city in the world that has open year round operating more than eleven indoor and out-door hot mineral baths, not to mention the dozens-and-dozens countrywide.

Whether visiting any thermal baths either in Budapest or throughout the country is also beside healing or pleasure a tourist attraction at these historical monuments.

The Dandár street’s mineral bath was opened to the public in 1930 originally operated as a sanitary bath and was renewed in 1936. During WW2 it was hardly damaged and in 1945 it has been reopened and operating.  In 1978, after a complete renovation the mineral bath was put into operation.

On the occasion of two outdoor swimming pools which have had been added at the original Dandár Bath a offical opening ceremony took place on Thursday at District, IX., on the Dandár utca (Brigade Street ) in Budapest.  Upon the opening Gábor Bagdy – Deputy Mayor in his speech pointed out that the Economist Intelligence Unit’s ranking of this livable city of Budapest has been among the top 50, ahead of New York and London, as well as regional cities such as Prague and Bratislava. With these new facilities high hopes to entice locals and foreigners  in helping  to maintain health and relaxation  any day of the week.

The outdoor pool construction company started in 2010, was now part of ending a short-term program. Based on the medium-term vision for the outdoor pool will be opened all year. As for the long-term plan next to the spa will be built a hotel said László Szőke CEO of Budapest Thermal Bath Ltd.

János Bácskai – Mayor of District – IX., Budapest  , said that for ages the Dandár Bath was living in the public consciousness as a sanitary bath.  To-day the bath has been renewed and can be considered as a  family friendly spa in the capital. The prices are way under  than the well-known mineral baths in Budapest.  He added he hopes that from now on at the District IX.,  called  Ferencváros will soon be known as the latest low-budget spa with high standards.

After the opening speeches, the Manager of the Dandár Mineral Bath –  Ms. Orsolya Vékes took us around to show the baths new venues explaining some facts about the bath … There is three inside pool with water temperature of 20°36°38°Celsius. The mineral water composition exists with calcium, magnesium, hydrogen-carbonate and sulphate-chloride, also containing sodium, with a substantial content of fluoride ions. Also added until October, 15  free to visit the outdoor pool without extra fee, only by the  purchase of the inside pool ticket. The Dandár bath also offers student ticket for the price of 1000HUF.

The neighbour building is less famous  known by many tourist  especially arriving from Europe. It houses the Zwack Unicum Museum.   Mr. Zwack (RIP), daughter  Izabella Zwack also attended the opening ceremony  who brought a taste of the Zwack unicum.

More to it seen the Hop-on… Hop-off  buses has a stop at the Zwack Museum so easy to spend some time to recharge yourself doing the tour around Budapest.

Even the district’s major said it will be a dream come true when there will be a pipe filled with the Zwack Unicum coming through the neighbour  walls into the  venue of the mineral bath to heal our body inside and outside.

NEWSFLASH … TO THE FIRST FISH AND WILD GAME MEAT FESTIVAL – BUDAPEST – 2014

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

Dates:  September,19-21.2014.

Venue: Vajdahunyad Castle at th City Park – Budapest

 

The time has come to visit the First Fish and Wild Game Meat Festival in Budapest whereas  an opportunity comes to the doorstep for visitors to taste the different regions seasoning of the  famous Hungaricum  – Fish Soup and other fish delights from the region of Hungary. The Carpathian Basin is still among the richest regions of  wild  game meat of wildlife in Europe. These wild game meat specialities as the pheasant , rabbit, venison, wild boar,  deer  will be cooked on the spot and worthwhile to taste if not all of them in one day then go back the next day and continue having more unique samples which  for many might not have at a regular daily meals.

Here in the coming three days go for it, see and learn how to cook a real Hungarian Fish Soup, but that is not all to gain during the 3-days. Beside the food of plenty, the professional craft breweries brought domestic and international beers, so need not have to go on a hunt to reach a pint of  a smooth beer of a kind to follow-up to pleasantly rinse the throat, of what else than a nice cold fresh craft beer, but if some like it hot, then may go for a shot of homemade Pálinka or go for the Hungarian wines to ease the thirst.

Outlining a couple of craft beers that brought attention … first of all the Kentucky brand as a beer caught the attention for many and stopped by the stand to taste what is it like, cause for many the Kentucky name is connected to the world-famous whiskies.  This year for the first time to arrive to Budapest’s attending at the Fish and Wild Game Meat Festival (also can be visited at the  Főzedefeszt – Street Food Fair on the Andrássy Boulevard) the home town of whiskiers at Kentucky.  Found out from the twin young ladies at the stand the following … the Alltech Lexington Brewery and Distilling Co. produce craft beers are in barrels and bottles. On the spot the visitors could have a taste draft beer on the tap of Kentucky Ale and the Kentucky IPA.  Bottled ones were out on display: Bourbon Barrel Ale, Kentucky Ale, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout, Kentucky IPA and the Kentucky Kölsch. Once tasted the Alltech beers most probably  the true beer lovers will like what they have tasted. Just in brief a few words about the Alltech’s beer. Developed in 2000 by Irish entrepreneur Dr. Pearse Lyons – founder and president of Alltech. To-day become the brewery’s flagship brew, capitalizing on the brewery’s proximity to fresh Kentucky bourbon barrels. The unique barrel-aged seasonal series  and  has collected numerous awards. In 2012., the company became part of the world-renowned Kentucky Bourbon Trail® with the opening of its Town Branch Distillery, which crafts Town Branch® Bourbon, Town Branch® Rye, Pearse Lyons Reserve® malt whiskey Bluegrass Sundown® and  bourbon-infused coffee liqueur… now I bet this sounds already mouthwatering for the beer lovers.

The Original Paulaner arriving from Munich had a grand stand  and the Bavarian beer is already well-known by the Hungarians and foreigners from all over Europe  and foreigners visiting, staying in Budapest. The Hungarian fruity beer flavors  became rather popular by the young adults and many homemade beers produced with fresh fruits from the regions of Hungary.

For kids to make their day, hills of sweets and candies,  stands of toys, ice-cream, candyfloss and to learn about wild animals in the forest are booklets and lectures. Probably the most fun they had been riding the ponies. For young and elder folks  having timeout at the Flee Market  is a place where the  clock’s hand run faster than you can.

Summing up one of the days adventures at the 1. Fish and Wild Game Meat Festival, visitors to be coming out to the venue should not go on by, passing the Kentucky stand without tasting there the  heavenly beer.  Not really a beer lover, yet  by tasting, got me some of Kentucky craft beers for the rainy days … and as the old songs says … “I can’t stop loving you, its useless to say…”  Hurray Kentucky Beers to arrive to Budapest!

Enjoy a choice of plenty having a Royal Fest for a civic price!

During October 13  and 19. 2014.

The reservation starts off to-day!

 The 50 Best Hungarian Restaurant” with a Michelin recommendation and 100 top mid-range restaurants as well. 

To-day,  National Restaurant Week held a  press luncheon in the noontime at the La Perle Noire restaurant.  However, before speaking about the menu just in brief some thought shared at the press call, whereas András Gendur – La Perle Noire restaurant manager, chef – Péter Pataky  Károly Balogh – owner and chef of the restaurant ICON from Debrecen, Hubert Hlatky-Schichter  – owner and manager of the KIOSK restaurant in Budapest  and Zoltán Kiss – organizer “National Restaurant Week” – presenter recommending restaurants. During the announcement of the newly joining restaurants also  was mentioned about the whereabouts of the ingredients saying, from the veggies to the meat are all from homeland farmers  said by András Gender adding, this is a family owned Hungarian-French bistro restaurant, and regularly has wine stewards who are trained and knowledgeable wine professional. Károly Balogh – ICON Restaurant talked about the famous „Debreceni pair” sausage, saying Quote: „According to historians, the Debreceni sausage bears the name of the city. The creator is unknown, because it was made accidentally and not by a single person several centuries ago, but ask any Hungarians wherever they live around the world about them knowing what the Debreceni pair sausage means, their eyes will surely twinkle. To-day pair passages known form, flavor are produced by civic town butchers, and the Company grouped in food preparation. Hopefully in the near future the Debrecen pairs will be hopefully  in list of Hungarikums.”  Surely a Hungarian speciality, because it is hardly to name a city else in particular than Hungary where the Debreceni pair name is listed at a local butcher shop in Detroit as well as in Sydney or in any Italian or French butcher shops to have the exact, originally prepared sausage even though these two countries are known as  the gastronomy citadels.

Hubert Hlatky-Schichter – KIOSZK  said: Quote: „One of the reasons preparing tasty meals is the key from where the ingredients are obtain, so  the characteristic tastes are brought from excellent raw materials which are from farms, small producers.”

Thereafter, Zoltán Kiss – organizers “National Restaurant Week” introduced a video presentation showing how easy it is to roll on the website and carry out a reservation. Must add here only through online is possible to make the reservations, no phone, no email! Therefore,  keep in mind all restaurants limits the number of sites: www.etteremhet.hu. Upon reservation, will receive a confirmation e-mail  of reservation to have been successful.

After the presentations the floor was full of spinning around with waiters. Bringing one-after-the-other the selection of the full menu of what to be expected for those guests who will make their reservation at this restaurant.  It would be hard to speak about all those wonderful flavors that we met by eye and by taste. Not far from saying, the chef surely became the 21st century’s conjure artists not just with flavors but in the art of food design.

This year for the second time  after  the season of Spring, the National Restaurant Week will be opening and welcoming beside local guests, tourists and foreigners living in Budapest and in many cities throughout the country to more than 100 top mid-range restaurants during the season of Fall. These restaurants will welcome „hunry people for not only Hungarian specialities, but Asia, Japan, Thai, Mexican food” between October 13  and 19, either lunch or supper meals in high quality in three-course  for just less than a quarter of the original price. Of course this does not mean the size of the meals are just bits-and-pieces of food. They are smaller portions than the original size, but nobody will leave their tables with empty stomach …that’s for sure! So the price of the menu will be 3300HUF which for many people can be easily affordable. The menu stands of 3-4 kind of starters, main course and dessert. The service fee is included, but this does not mean tips cannot be given, if the visitors were highly satisfied with the service and the menu.

Having the selection of heavenly Disznókő wines after each dish was from Mezőzombor vineyard at Tokaj which was brought by Zoltán Lesti – sales manager …  (Disznókő Estate –  was the first classified growth since 1732. Produces very fresh well-balanced sweet wines with rich ripe fruit. Especially recommended with blue cheese, desserts, oriental spicy dishes, foie gras, or simply on its own.)
