Babel restaurant
Actor Orlando Bloom and singer Katy Perry had a date night in Budapest last month when they celebrated Perry’s 38th birthday. For their dinner venue, they chose the Michelin-starred Babel restaurant. The couple was so pleased with the food that they even visited the kitchen after dinner. “She said that the dinner at Babel was one of the top three gastronomic experiences of her life, that we should always remain so loving and humble, and that she hopes people would travel here just to experience it themselves,” Hubert Hlatky-Schlichter, the owner of the restaurant recalled.
