"Bálna is a mixed use building with shops, cafés, bars and a great art gallery. It also has a fantastic terrace with great views on the city, but the architecture itself is also very interesting: designed by Dutch architect Kas Oosterhuis, it is a mixture of historical brick warehouses and a striking high-tech metal-glass structure." - Budapest Design Week

Padron

Tapas bar · Pest

"Sokat utaztunk együtt, minden konyhában megtaláltuk a szépséget, de a spanyol fogások egyszerűsége, szabadsága, könnyedsége, a bárok szövete a városban ragadott meg a leginkább. Itthon kevés ilyen hely van - csinálnunk kellett, legalább egyet. Az ember mindenféle nyomás nélkül beül egy bárba, nem is akar enni, de nem tud ellenállni a bárpult üvegvitrinjében zsúfolódó tapák láttán. És nincs megállás, az asztalt pillanatok alatt beteríti a hagyományos barna égetett agyagtányérkákban tálalt ínycsiklandó fogásokból, a sörös, boros vagy brandys poharakból álló kavalkád. Lakomát idéző hangulat egy egyszerű sarki bárban. Ezt az érzést szeretnénk mi is meghonosítani Budapesten. Kötetlenség, lazaság, az ízek pedig úgyis magukért beszélnek."
