you are undoubtely right: Everything is relative!
Iam very happy to read that you found restaurants in Budapest with good service but for me (and I think for at least two other people) this was the exception.
However I enjoyed Budapest really, really very much!
All the best for you,
Helena

It's true that we found a place with good service but the few days I stayed in Budapest I, personally, didn't have any problem with the service. But it depends on the time of the day and the place. I think I want about 4 times to restaurants in Liszt Ferenc ter and the service was good every time. Sorry Helena for the bad luck..but you shouldn't give up :)

...and at last we found in Hungary a place with great service! (Seems to be rare, there, unfortunately)
Pribjet,
Helena

and we were lucky with the service at last :0)

Indeed it was a nice powwow. I'm sorry I didn't bring the camera...Hope to see many of you again soon. Have a nice week everyone! Andreea

Well, Philippe, I do not recall to have invited you to a drink there (for the generosity), but in fact it was a great powwow. The think I liked most was the friendly, funny and incredibly international atmosphere (for n improvisated powwow of 13, there were 11 nationalities!) I did learn a lot and met great prozians.
Thank you very much for this great powwow, Philippe!
Hope to meet you all soon again,
Helena

It is a great pleasure to remeber the good moments we spent together in this lively café d Budapest...

I want to thank all of you (and especially Helena for her generosity) for being at the Café Vian on May 1st 07! That was a sort of "extra" conference but more "private". Cheers to all of you. Philippe Carino and docnroll!
