Bika étterem - Resturant to the Bull
In 1857 the first train arrived at the Hajduszoboszlo Railway Station and with it a new period began in the life of the town. The locals watched the iron machine and the new people coming to the town in admiration.
The increased flow of visitors made the magistrates consider building new public houses that can satisfy the freshly emerging needs.
By 1860 it was clear that a high quality building was badly needed where the prominent official guests to the town could be accommodated and entertained. The construction was started and soon a modern building was erected, which gained its present form in 1871. Contrary to its name - the Little Bull - it was the third largest house in Hajduszoboszlo following the Council House and the Reformed School. It differed from the old, existing buildings in size, appearance and quality. On the ground floor there were shops and a taproom and upstairs the guest rooms and an enormous restaurant. It was not only a hotel and a restaurant but a community centre too, where balls, theatrical preformances and other events of cultural importance took place.
Nowadays it is called the Nelson, named after the famous admiral. It is a resturant and a confectionery. The restaurant is designed in the style of the dock of Lord Nelsons battleship. The confecionery looks like the admiral's apartment might have been. Here you can choose from more than 60 different cakes, coffe and icecream specialities.
