CAFE AND BAR

The Főfoto café is the place where you can ask us to turn down the music.

There are places where Apple logos on laptop lids provide the mood lighting, and you can chat with anyone about the wonders of brutalist architecture. There are cafes where you can meet people with a Labrador husky-beagle on the end of your leash, strictly from a shelter. There are also those where they wait for you to go on a date with dripping candles and a jazzy soundtrack.

Főfoto is not like that. But you can come with an Apple computer and a dog, you will find a Lucien Hervé album, and you can even hold your partner's hand. Főfoto is the place where you can ask us to turn down the music.

There is agreement that the original 1970 version of The Wailers' song Soul Rebel with Bob Marley is the best, the later versions are just polished versions. The percussion sounds delicate and soft, the bass doesn't pulsate as much, and the vocals are only physically in the background, and they really carry Marley's singing on their shoulders. And the brass players... Even we Hungarians get goosebumps from them, although worshipping the brass players may not be such an adventure, since they think we are Balkans too, just without a sense of rhythm. In the Főfoto café, we work with Bob Marley's son Rohan Marley's Soul Rebel coffee. The acidity is only subtly present, the slightly roasted flavor pumps faintly, the nut and chocolate flavors alternate, we don't know who the main character is. Does this sound familiar from somewhere?
