Sorrowful: Popular Hungarian restaurant in Canada closes for good – PHOTOS
A famous Hungarian restaurant in Canada’s biggest city, Toronto, will close for good because the owners decided to spend more time with their family. Even though it survived COVID-19 thanks to its enthusiastic patrons, Toronto will soon lose a Hungarian spot.
“It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that we are closing the Black Tulip Hungarian Restaurant“, the Instagram post talking about the closure starts. Black Tulip opened in February 2020, just a couple of weeks before the global coronavirus pandemic broke out.
Even so, the place survived, thanks to the owners’ kindness, the high-quality dishes they served and some loyal patrons who regularly flocked to the restaurant to taste some traditional Hungarian dishes “with sprinkles of North American favourites”, blogto.com wrote.
However, after four years of business, it seems that Gréta and Kornél, the Hungarian couple running the restaurant, decided to close permanently. The menu of the former diner included traditional dishes like goulash soup, stuffed cabbage rolls, chicken paprikash, pork stew, Hungarian-style meatballs, and schnitzel.

“We had to make this hard decision with our family’s future in mind”, the couple continued in their sad Instagram post. They added the last opening day was last Sunday, 29 October.
But not all is lost. “If you are going to miss our Hungarian food, we have started selling our frozen food stock, which you can store in the freezer and enjoy even after a few months”, they added.
“There are so few Hungarian restaurants around. Wishing you the best!”, one of the comment writers said under the post. Here are some photos of their dishes:
