Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pay More for Budapest Dinner Than Most Hungarians Make in a Month
Hungarian tabloid Napi Asz is reporting that Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and two friends of Brangelina spent 100,000 forints ($500) on an evening meal at Budapest’s first restaurant to receive a Michelin star.
Now that amount may not seem a lot in New York, Paris and Tokyo gourmet dining circles, but it happens to exceed the monthly take-home salary of most Hungarians.
A fellow patron of the restaurant in question, Costes, told the tabloid that the Jolie-Pitts and guests ordered a six-course business menu in a sequestered section of the restaurant. The feast included lobster, turbot and gnocchi with artichokes – washed down with some of the finest wines from the region.
It used to be the best dining experiences in Hungary were not the ones found in restaurants but those that resulted from invitations to eat at the home of a Hungarian friend or acquaintance.
How times have changed.
