Price: 45 Euro / person (Minimum number of participants: 100 persons)

One of the capital’s most romantic and only lakeside terrace awaits Eurocrim2013 participants with a taste for great Hungarian cuisine.
Restaurant Hemingway is famous for its special atmosphere. It is a large restaurant in the 11th district of Budapest in a fairly busy living area which is also packed with students of nearby universities thus very lively. However Hemingway with its location in the park is rather in a calm environment, with a nice little lake in front where social events on the terrace become really magical. Guest will definitely enjoy their food and wine while sitting on the deck by the lake, enjoy a little September sunshine in the orangery, and try some of the finest Hungarian wines selected by the sommelier, while relaxing to the sounds of smooth jazz.
Don’t let this opportunity wasted to get together with colleagues and friends on the last conference evening!
