Depp-Charge: Johnny Depp Spotted in Budapest.

Spring 2023 will be the season that stars became so frequently spotted in the city that a Hungarian website coined a new term to address the phenomenon: ‘sztardumping’ - or - star dumping. This on the heels of Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Depp both alighting upon the same restaurant to eat at in a short period of time.
The restaurant in question is the Spanish and tapas themed Arquitecto Pitpit, which until recently was enjoying a quiet existence in the cellar and courtyard of the building that houses the Chamber of Hungarian Architects. The much circulated photo above was taken after the actor failed to secure a table due to a wedding party that had reserved the venue.
It’s nothing new to see stars around town: Jennifer Lawrence famously got in a fight after bar hopping in the 7th District, starting at Vittula - the exact place one would go to get in a barfight. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a regular at a downtown gym. Will Smith literally danced on the famous Chain Bridge.
What pirate Jack Sparrow was doing in landlocked Budapest is less known. What we do know for sure is that his supergroup side-gig The Hollywood Vampires will be playing in mid July in Budapest at the Papp László Arena. This means Alice Cooper, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, and guitarist Tommy Hendrikson will also be in town. Perhaps they should book a table at Arquitecto Pitpit in advance, as the slate of films and series being shot in Budapest is at record levels.
It’s worth pointing out that Arquitecto Pitpit, actors or not, always offers succulent, spicy, and flavourful tapas, no matter who the guest is. The star of the dish below is a langoustine fit for any seafood lover.
