Location: The social dinner will be celebrated at the prestigious VígVarjú Restaurant, located right in the centre of the Danube promenade in Pest. (walking distance (~500m) from the meeting venue, or two tram stops).
The restaurant is located in the historic building of the Vigadó. Vigadó (usually translated as “Place for Merriment”) is Budapest’s second largest concert hall. It is unique in its location as well as its architecture, but also because it has been the scene of buzzing social life of the busy inner city since 1833.
This Greek Revival style building has always been home to the highest culture as well as mirth. In the three decades following its opening, it was a constant favourite among the revelling Pest public, and its managers competed in conjuring up the most extravagant ideas to make their event stand out. The House has seen a skating ball, fancy dress party with Jókai’s novel characters, or an elegant reception with lavish props, sailor-suit military band and a goldfish pool.
Register to the social dinner and learn how to revel and have great meals in style, and live up to the motto of Hungarian lords of the olden days: “We only live once!”.
