We walked down to the section of town that we had discovered yesterday. Except for the really cool old yellow church, there were mostly just homes down each alley way. We found a really cute restaurant for lunch, Aranykalasz Etterem. I ordered a hot sausage sandwich and Dusty ordered pasta Bolognese. The sandwich was served open-faced with what seemed to be cream cheese on the bread, then marinara and sliced sausage, topped with cheese...it was actully really great. Dusty's pasta was also fantastic. The entire meal, which included two bottled waters, cost 1390 forints, or $6.00. After we asked for the bill, the server stood at the table as we got our money out to pay (the server at the Red Box did the same thing), I gave him the money, which included a tip, and he handed the tip back to me. I researched tipping in Hungary online, and I read that 10% is an appropriate tip. My Dad on the other had, has spoken to many Hungarians who said that a patron is not to tip, becuase a tip is included in the price of the meal. He addaed that any tip given goes to the owner. I am going to have to look into this issue a bit more, I definitely do not want to stiff any servers!
After lunch we tried out a shop, for gelato, which in addition to gelato also sold pastries, pies, coffee, etc. We chose the coconut gelato and it tasted exactly like a pina colado... it was very refreshing. The gelato cost 140 forints, 60 cents.
