Dessert First

A few hours had passed since our last sweet morsel at Cafe Gerbeaud. We decided to try a local chain coffee and dessert place for a quick jolt of caffeine and treat before dinner.

Delicious!

We considered several choices for dinner but ultimately decided to dine outdoors on this lovely evening at Menza on Liszt Ferenc Square. The restaurant was completely modern and chic but was meant to invoke memories of communist era cafeterias. We enjoyed a bottle of Hungarian wine with dinner. I started my meal with cold sour cherry soup and had goulash with homemade spinach dumplings. Double yum! Spicing up the evening, a troop of Brazilian dancers sashayed on by to the beat of a drum to promote a performance.


On our way back to the hotel we detoured down a side street and saw these aluminum doors. The House of Terror had an exhibit on display that spoke of Aluminum as "Hungary's Silver".


After that sober reminder, we were delighted by the sight of a St. Bernard running around in fear as the tiniest little lap dog crossed his path. The giant dog kept running around in circles not sure what to do. It was absolutely hilarious. Some animals just don't know their own size.
