Chocolate Yule Logs for All at Le Meridien Budapest

Where: Erzsebet Ter 9-10, Budapest, 1051, Hungary, 1051

Christmas and the New Year is barefly over but we are already contemplating where to go next year. Perhaps the post-holiday-season isn't the best time to start planning the next time where we will eat far more than we need to, but keep in mind a stop in Hungary's capital, Budapest. Not only is there a chance of a white Christmas, and more than enough heavy wintry food to chow down on, but there are a lot of friendly people around.

Here's an example from last week: for the second year running, the nice folks at Le Meridien Budapest invited 25 local homeless people to a special Christmas lunch in their Le Bourbon Restaurant. A lovely gesture in itself, and even more impressive when you read the menu:

Terrine de sanglier aux pruneaux, gelée de prunes aux Cognac, Poitrine volaille fermicre façon, coq au vin , pâtes fraîches and chocolate Yule log with black chocolate sauce.

That sure beats what we served up over the holidays.
