Budapest in the middle of the pack among world’s late dining capitals
When you leave the cinema or theatre, or after enjoying a long day out, there’s nothing quite like sitting down to a late meal with friends or family, especially on weekends when there’s no rush to wake up early for work. What is the average latest time you can order a meal in Budapest’s restaurants?
Budapest in the middle of the pack
But how easy is it to find a restaurant that stays open late? To answer this, Chef’s Pencil delved into reservation apps to identify the cities where booking a very late dinner is easiest. By analysing the dinner reservation calendars of over 4,400 restaurants in 89 cities worldwide, they noted the last seating times for each restaurant at weekends and ranked these cities based on the median value of the last seating or last food order time.
In Budapest, the last seating time (or last food order) was on average 21:30, similar to cities like Munich or Amsterdam, but higher than nearby capitals Vienna or Bratislava.
