The tenth most important event in Hungary in 2015: British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to open restaurant in Budapest
In September, it emerged that British celebrity chef, restauranteur and media personality Jamie Oliver is opening Jamie’s Italian, a new franchise restaurant, in Budapest next spring in the former premises of the Hadik restaurant in the Castle District.
Hungary will become the third European country after Turkey and Russia in which the 40-year-old television favourite will open up his chain of Italian eateries, which will be introduced to the Hungarian market by local restauranteur Zoltán Roy Zsidai, owner of the Budapest haunts Spíler and ÉS.
The Hungarian hospitality expert is also planning to launch the Jamie Feed me Better school lunch programme in Hungary and hopes that a similar school canteen scheme will start in Hungary.
