VIDEO: Delicatessen in a small town—The agglomeration’s gastronomic scene is changing
Even the population of a small town is constantly changing, with many people moving from Budapest to the agglomeration in recent times. This phenomenon has given rise to a demand for more quality gastro facilities. It also happened in Vác, where Kata and Marci opened Libra Delicatessen, where they offer specialty coffee as well as quality small-scale and delicatessen products. Their example proves that in a small town, several places with a similar approach can coexist, and in fact, supporting each other, they play an active role in educating the public and creating demand.
