Chugging down your table: First model railway restaurant opens in Budapest

In a restaurant next to Keleti Pályaudvar, a model railway layout has been built where trains bring the beers to your table.

As reported by szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu, Lakomativ just opened a couple of weeks ago and can be found at the beginning of Verseny Street. It is the first restaurant of its kind in Hungary and beer plays a crucial role in their service.

A modeller’s paradise, the railway within the restaurant is very well built and has all the bells and whistles of a layout that anyone can ask for. The model boasts 9 trains that can all run simultaneously and the buildings have been constructed with extraordinary detail – the facades have intricate designs and inside them visitors can see the day-to-day lives of their miniature figures.

The restaurant is the British equivalent of a pub. It primarily sells drinks, however it offers a wide selection of food as well. Beer is at the heart of their cuisine; it is included in the majority of the food on the menu. Visitors can choose from a range of Hungarian dishes, including beef cheeks, trotters, fish dishes and the famous goulash.
