Following traditions of previous years, Hungarian Tourism Zrt. introduces Fat Thursday, the most prominent gastronomic event of the country in 2010 too. It is always held on the day after Ash Wednesday when guests of restaurants can dine for a 50% discount.
In 2009, 1300 restaurants participated and calculated 230 thousand guests. Up to now, this year’s list contains 1075 restaurants but the list is supplemented continuously. It is worth checking it not just once.
This year Fat Thursday is held on February 18.
One can find the list of participating restaurants at
• Let's go eating! website
• Tourinform offices
• MOL petrol stations
• in Népszabadság newspaper on February 4 in Fat Thursday focus
• and in other newspapers and magazines as a supplement such as Magyar Nemzet, Népszava, Világgazdaság, Hölgyvilág, Fanni, Vasárnapi Hírek, BlikkNő, Kiskegyed Konyhája, Színes 2hetes Tv lapokba is.
Why shall we participate on Fat Thursday as guests?
• Because we can try a new restaurant with less risk.
• Because we get 50% off from the total of our food and drink consumption on the whole day of February 18.
• Because we can order a’la carte, not only from a shortened menu card.
• Because the restaurants that had some quality or other types of trouble in 2009, cannot participate this year.
And a good advice: it is worth reading the list as quickly as You can, because the available places at best restaurants are always limited!
Have a nice time and enjoy the meals!
