The waiting staff have learnt basic sign language in both English and Hungarian, whilst those with visual impairments can discover the stories behind the dishes at Hungary\u2019s most famous restaurant via a Braille menu.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A short film about Gundel has also been made, directed by P\u00e9ter Bergendy, and it is available from today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attention to detail and respect are key pillars of the restaurant, where, from now on, guests with hearing or visual impairments can enjoy the authentic Gundel experience to the full.&nbsp;<\/strong>The waiting staff have learnt the 10 most important sign language phrases for guests in both English and Hungarian, whilst a Braille menu detailing the history of the dishes helps to ensure an even higher standard of service for visually impaired guests. In addition to all this, accessibility is also a priority within the restaurant premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gundel is particularly proud that its team is made up of an inclusive community that works day in, day out to ensure that everyone feels at home there. This&nbsp;<strong>Gundel\u2019s hospitality, which is also extended to people with disabilities, is showcased in a short film shot recently by the renowned director P\u00e9ter Bergendy, whose credits include *The Exam* and *Post Mortem*, amongst others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as its emotional value, the short film also has educational significance. The film director said: the short film, produced in collaboration with Gundel, tells a very human story which, as well as offering a glimpse into the workings of this special restaurant with its rich history and ever-evolving nature, also presents a fine example of people looking out for one another \u2013 a value that is increasingly being lost in today\u2019s world. This is precisely why it is important that we remind ourselves time and again just how simple an act it is to pay attention, and yet what everyday miracles it can bring about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jen\u0151 Magyary, Managing Director of Gundel, confirmed that, alongside its legendary hospitality, social responsibility and social awareness have always been part of Gundel\u2019s core values<\/strong>, and has shaped the attitude of the staff working here, which is now evident in the care they show towards guests with visual and hearing impairments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The two founding owners of the Eventrend Group, which operates Gundel, Zolt\u00e1n K\u0151r\u00f6ssy and G\u00e1bor Nagy, said: K\u00e1roly Gundel ran the City Park restaurant \u2013 founded in 1894 and later named after him \u2013 with the intention that its doors should be open to everyone.&nbsp;<\/strong>He has shaped Gundel into a place defined by hospitality, culinary artistry and a commitment to preserving tradition \u2013 a place where it is always a pleasure to visit. This is a legacy that the current operator, Eventrend, fully embraces and continues to enrich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From now on, people with hearing and visual impairments will receive special attention at the Gundel restaurant.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":16699,"template":"","publikacio":[183],"class_list":["post-16700","sajto","type-sajto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","publikacio-carrie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sajto\/16700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sajto"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/sajto"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sajto\/16700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publikacio","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gundel.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikacio?post=16700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
