We recently visited the Bomo Art store in Budapest's Várkert Bazaar , admired the beautiful paper products, and then had a delicious lunch at the Bárkert Bistro , in a great atmosphere!
The Várkert Bazaar is a unique building complex, a stunning neo-Renaissance wonder, dreamed up by Miklós Ybl in the mid-19th century. This much-seen, historic place has played an active role in the life of the capital for the past 130 years; at first it was home to merchants, artists, and exhibitors, and later it was a center for youth events. When it was so worn out that it was declared dangerous to life, it stood empty for decades, and every time we walked past it, our hearts broke seeing how much we do not appreciate our architectural monuments.
Then, after the recent extensive renovations, the building complex finally appears in its proper splendor again, and its premises regularly host fashion events, cultural events, shops and catering units. The Bárkert Bistro operating here strives to offer the best to its guests in the spirit of centuries-old traditions .
The Bistro's impressive interior design solutions are a testament to the taste of the este'r partners design office : a lengthy interior design process was followed by a short-term, fast implementation, during which a truly metropolitan, eclectic and at the same time elegant restaurant and café was created. The romantic atmosphere of the beginning of the century was combined with a bohemian, fashionable botanical garden style - the combination of the abundance of plants and the impressive interior creates a fantastic atmosphere. The space, reminiscent of Versailles, is pleasantly casual with comfortable sofas, huge flower pots, and vintage accessories. The giant chandeliers emphasize the white arched space structure.
And what can we find on the menu? The menu offers traditional, classic, modern, innovative, but above all: a surprise in every taste in the spirit of the new gastronomic trend, fusion cuisine. Traditional Hungarian dishes are combined with strong international flavors - whatever you choose from the menu, you are guaranteed not to be disappointed!
