Café restaurants in Hungary

  1. A

    Auguszt Cukrászda

    Tucked away behind the Fény utca market and Mammut shopping mall, this is the original Auguszt cafe (there are newer branches) and only sells its own shop-made cakes (200Ft to 500Ft), pastries and biscuits. There’s limited seating on the 1st floor.

    Carpe Diem

    With its hammock seats, greenery and serene atmosphere, this small teahouse in Debrecen is an oasis on a pedestrian street dominated by concrete eyesores. It stocks teas from around the world for instant consumption or later enjoyment.

    Lukács Cukrászda

    This cafe is dressed up in the finest of decadence – all mirrors and gold – with soft piano music in the background. The selection of cakes (450Ft to 1250Ft) is excellent but expensive. Must be because the chief pâtissier has come all the way from France.

    Kedves

    Like Bergman, Kedves will appeal to those looking for a break from madding crowds; this chilled café was also where Lujza Blaha herself took tea.

    Fröhlich Cukrászda

    This kosher cake shop and cafe in the former ghetto, dating back to 1953, makes and sells old Jewish favourites (180Ft to 350Ft) like flódni (a three-layer cake with apple, walnut and poppy-seed fillings) as well as holiday sweets: for Purim there is kindli (cookies with nuts or poppy seeds) and hamentaschen (‘pocket’ biscuits filled with nuts and poppy seeds or apricot jam); and for Rosh Hashanah, lekach (honey and nut pastry).

    Mokka

    It's 'ethno-cuisine' here, with a mishmash of dishes; you'll need a map to read the menu. But we love the space and the great African decor, plus there's a good wine list. The three-course set menu, including wine, is very good value.

    Daubner Cukrászda

    It may seem quite a journey for your Sachertorte and you can only stand and nibble on the hoof here, but Daubner gets rave reviews from locals and expats alike as the best shop for cakes (250Ft to 400ft) in Buda.

    Morik Caffé

    This mock-18th-century café in Debrecen has its waitresses running around in blue frocks and frilly white bonnets, which is either quaint or ridiculous depending on your taste. Either way, the coffee is great.

    Art Nouveau Café

    This small but comfortable cafe on the ground floor of delightful Bedő House is tailor-made for fans of the Secessionist style. The cakes (290Ft to 370Ft) are pretty average though.

    Szalai Cukrászda

    This humble cake shop in Lipótváros just north of parliament probably has the best cherry strudel (from 310Ft) in the capital, though its cream cakes also go down a treat.

    Liszt Szalon

    Very stylish indeed is this new/old (just opened/ancient building) café serving a wide range of hot chocolates (with chilli, anyone?) as well as teas and coffees.

    Grand Café

    For coffee, cake and a bit of peace and quiet (except when it's hosting film nights), head to this light-hearted café on the 2nd floor of an office block.

  14. Rege Cafe

    Rege has possibly the best panoramic view of the lake on the Balaton from its high vantage point near the abbey; its cakes and light meals aren't bad either.

    Cutty Sark Teaház

    For a quality cuppa and a sandwich (hopefully cucumber), drop into this little 'slice of England' tucked away among the museums along Káptalan utca.

    Café Trafó

    This little café is a leafy oasis with modern décor; a great place to take a breather, sit back and relax. We could spend all day here.

    Várkapu Café

    This old world-style coffeehouse is excellent for both cakes and coffee, and a relaxing oasis from the summer crowds.

  18. P

    Semiramis

    Semiramis easily fits the bill of a downtown Manhattan café. It probably serves the best coffee in Szombathely.

  19. Caffé Alexander

    Alexander is directly opposite the Szigliget Theatre and makes a perfect pit stop before and/or after a show.

    This cool cellar restaurant has a summer patio and a large selection of made-to-order pizzas and salads.
