List of restaurants close to the conference
Some restaurants close to the Rényi Institute
Most places have a variety of options for dietary restrictions, please always ask beforehand.
The canonical tip is 10% for dinner. Many places include service fee which is an additional unit on the bill and they should state it on their menu. You can ask if it’s included so you don’t have to tip extra (only if
you feel like it). Tipping for lunch is not widespread, only at fancy restaurants.
Some places offer lunch menus during weekdays (Monday through Friday). These are fixed menus (so no or little choice), which are cheaper, but restaurants often run out of them by 1pm.
Among the places that offer lunch menus are Ruben, Bonnie, Napfényes, Ropogóo, Fecske, Puder, and Café Intenzo.
