A Surprising Restaurant Find.

Don't be deceived by appearances.

Bob and I have driven past this sign so often, more than we can count and at times we'd speculate what it would be like. After all it was a handwritten sign giving name and opening times.

The restaurant is a kilometer after the Hungarian border post and not more than about 20 kilometers from us. Last night we took a chance and found an amazing place. My folks are here and the four of us sat on the huge veranda, surrounded by fabulous views and despite it being a Tuesday evening, many other diners.

The menu has a German byline for every dish and it was fun to choose which one to have. All of us took a stumble at the Wiener Schnitzel but only for a second as we decided to have proper Hungarian dishes. When in Rome and so forth.

As we were talking English the waiter automatically fell in with us. How great is that? I ordered the Hungarian Gulasch and wow, it tasted fantastic and the portion was huge. Bob had a big plate of meat surrounded by roasted garlic potatoes which caused me to point out numerous birds and a tiger walking behind him, while keeping my fork ready.

Aren't we all creatures of habit when it comes to food? Trying something new was a breath of fresh air and another amazing experience in our Eisenberg adventure...oh, and it was very reasonably priced. Under 10 euros per head for food and plenty of beer & wine...
