FINE Wine & Champagne India - Winter 2018

VERITAS WINEBAR
It could well be largest wine bar in Budapest
– 360 wine references with a wide selection
from Hungary and the world of which a
constantly changing selection of 60 wines
are offered by the glass! And to top that,
almost any bottle is opened at the request
of the guest.
FINE Spotlight
Tucked away in a vibrant district off Erzsébet
körút on the Pest side, Veritas is a cool and
stylish place. A place where wines can be
discovered by wine virgins or dissected by
wine lovers or flaunted by the wine snobs.
The owner, István Pátzay, believes that
“frequenting a wine bar is a lifestyle
choice..”, and has tried to make sure that
prices don’t come in the way of vinos
becoming regulars at any time of the day.
Keeping up with modern and healthy eating
trends, the food offer is mostly curated with
local, artisan and organic ingredients.

GERBEAUD
Gerbeaud is among the most treasured
gastronomic assets of Hungary. Traditions
have been preserved through the two wars,
a revolution and many owners, even if the
business has required evolution from when
it was founded in 1858. Gilded interiors,
lavish chandeliers, polished marble and
intricately carved wooden features adorn
the Maison Gerbeaud on Vörösmarty tér
which was reopened in 2010 following a
grand make-over.
This is where Budapest converges to sin on
finger-licking desserts at the opulent café
on the square or the laidback terrace or onthe-go.
Hailing from a family of pâtissiers, Emile
Gerbeaud, made his brand a landmark – the
cakes were immortalized by popular songs
and the packaging was a work of art. The
name-sake Gerbeaud cake is synonymous
with the city. No visit is complete without it.
Not content to sit on laurels, current
owners Katalin Pintér and Anna Niszkács
have carried forward the spirit of innovation
and introduce new flavours and textures to
their patrons. The signature Gerbeaud 160
created by Chef Tamás László – for the 160th
Anniversary – was such a creation.
