Restaurant in Budapest For some decades, on Rua do Rosário, in downtown Rio de Janeiro, the Restaurante Bucsky has been running, specialized in international food. The place where the restaurant was located belonged to Mrs. Vitalina Neves, also the owner of several estates in Nova Friburgo. One day, around the due date of the rent, Mr. José Bucsky, one of the owners of the restaurant, went to Friburgo to negociate with Mrs. Neves. With the money that he had taken, he paid the rent for the following two years and bought a estate in the Mury District, in Ponte da Saudade, near the railroad, where the hotel was built. Little by little, the Bucsky family moved to Nova Friburgo, selling the restaurant and concentrating all of their efforts in the hotel activities. So, in December 19, 1940, the Hotel Bucsky was open. At the beginning, it had only 8 rooms. Today, with 70, it is still run by the family, in its third generation. Built in European style, the Hotel Bucsky presents full ENTERTAINMENT and CONVENTION facilities. It also stands out for the standard of service of its staff and owners, that with quality but without excess sophistication, makes their guests feel at home.
