  1. Hungary is also famous for it's connections to russia so I wouldn't say it's a attractive tourist destination. As long as hungarian goverment and it's society supports russia.

  2. Love u channel. Thanks for the aproach to Central AND my Perú. Your Review was excelente AND Made justice to Virgilio sacriface. Soon i m going to visit ir restaurant. God bless you

  3. I just saw you in an entirely new light due to your honesty about how your own restaurant can improve!!! Hopefully I’ll get to visit it one day!!! ❤❤❤

  4. Many of the dishes seem really tasty, and I understand especially for a food critic, you want to taste as many variations as possible.

    I kind of noped out after “our ninth course”. I’m pretty sure I’m not your target audience/eater for this kind of restaurant, but personally I prefer a 3.5 course meal (the cheese plate is interesting, and I would try it, but I’d prefer a small but solid cheese plate instead). The fruit from the first 2 courses, then the goat with vegetables, followed by cheese, and ending in the desert would be perfect.

    Again, I understand I’m not the kind of clientele you’re trying to attract, but if you ever open a restaurant just serving really good food for “normies”, I’d love to try it 😀

  5. A restaurant to my heart. As a Charles Heidsieck lover, I'm immediately seduced! The roots of Hungary with the magnificent Mangalitsa pork, yum yum. I hope to visit your restaurant next time I am in Hungary. Cheers

  6. I have no idea what wine pairing is i have never eaten at at a high class resturant .. I have begun watching your videos the last few weeks and i can honestly say you truly give all the insight of not only the dishs but the surroundings that have created and inspired these dishs ..

  7. What an amazing episode ! I absolutely love that the 42 reference comes from Douglas Adams, one of my favorite novel of all time. Hungary was not a country I thought I would like to visit, but this video alone makes me want to go in the upcoming years. And I will definitely be going to 42 !

  8. As a vegetarian, I have always wondered how fine dining menu would be for me in a high end restaurant, hope to have the same vibrant experience one day.

  9. I really liked this review. Enthusiastic and seemed fair. Presentation was really great. Imaginative cooking. I lived in Budapest for about a year at the time Russian withdrawal was happening. The food was memorable then for extremes: peasant food in factories (Tungsram was being privatised with world bank money, followed by some banks) and in hidden restaurants we could get Russian caviar and Tokai very cheaply (compared with London). I've never been back but would love to visit your restaurant.

  10. I wish I had the taste for this kinda food, but honestly, just get me a ribeye and some fries, thx

  11. if someone chokes on a rock in the rock dish, can the restaurant be fined/sued?? seems dangerous to put rock like food with other rocks

  12. Aren't the edible stones an old dish from Mugaritz? Stealing a dish without paying homage isn't a great look

  13. honestly I think Alex needs to make another take on this subject. It will be also more attractive if he actually start to be negative about things he compares to more michelin star restaraunts. then we know he wants to grow. now it seems he doesn't care as he said. so yeah. need to make another take and make a proper critique. otherwise this is just a clickbait for review and advertisement instead of critiquing or looking for down sides.

  14. If my waiter suddenly served me the flowers on the table and poured the plant water into my plate, I would flip the table and go straight to McDonalds xD

  15. I like the games/deception of the river rocks, flower bouquet, etc. – fun surprises.

  16. This looks excellent, especially for people who aren't very experienced with fine dining (like me). I probably wouldn't care much for the cheese and the on-the-skin dishes, they're a bit gimmicky. But I definitely wouldn't leave the restaurant still Hungary ;P.

  17. This is very quickly becoming a fave channel of mine. Initially, I was hesitant, but the quality of the videos are brilliant
