Still, it has always been reborn, sparkling and occupied by those who longed for its comforts: artists, members of the nobility and commoners alike. At the turn of the 20th century the New York Café (New York Kávéház) was the most beautiful and the most beloved coffee house in Budapest.

Dripping with crystal chandeliers in its opulent damask-draped salons, Gerbeaud captures the aristocratic feel of a former world. Not only highly regarded as a wonderful café to visit, Gerbeaud is equally, if not more, loved and renowned as a confectionery house serving the most delectable sweets at the highest level. Try the house specials, such as the Gerbeaud Cream Cake or the Gerbeaud slice.

Central Café

 

Founded in 1887, Central Café is an iconic and historic landmark of culture within Budapest.
