Summer in Budapest is normally a great time and what better way to take advantage of the fantastic weather than to dine el fresco. Budapest is famous for its restaurants and you’ll find opportunities for outdoors dining in dozens of locations. Bon Appétit!
Mathyas Church stands behind chef Jamie Oliver’s Italian restaurant in the Buda Castle area of Budapest. Oliver is just one of a number of famous chefs that have opened restaurants in this magnificent city. In Jamie’s case his unique menu is noted for Italian classics, but prepared with that unique Jamie style.
If you haven’t as yet had an opportunity to visit Budapest I guarantee you’re missing out on something special and would strongly recommend that you move it to the top of your travel plans.

The stretch of rugged coast dotted with beautiful beaches and backed up by rugged mountain peaks at Cape Town is considered South Africa’s most amazing landscape. Driving the coastal road you’d be hard pressed to find anything that compares anywhere else in the world.
