The work of baristas and bartenders can provide at least as much excitement and creativity as that of chefs. It is becoming more and more popular to be creative behind the bar in Hungary too. Spectacular development is taking place not only in the kitchens of restaurants. We now have bars and cafés recognised at international level as well. Not to mention professional Hungarian baristas and bartenders who have won world champion titles and achieved fame.

The best of the coffee and beverages profession will be at the CoffeeBar weekend. Five national competitions will be held over the two days.
