 | Budapest Centrál Kávéház - Central Coffehouse Reviews | 1 - 8 of 8 |  |
The Central Coffeehouse was since 1887 a very lively place, and actually in the center of the area where cultural institutes, newspaper editorial offices, printing companies where present and where the coffeehouse life was the most important.
In 1913 the place was rebuilt and it managed also to survive the hard period until WW2, when hundreds of coffeehouses had to close their doors.
During a long period the place was first an "espresso", then a red pepper selling shop and then a university canteen.
Then it became a student club - the famous Eotvos Klub - where concerts, theatrical performances were hosted.
From 1993 it was a gaming room (called Wizzards)...where in the past great writers and poets where sitting in this period you had to find arcade games...
After a total reconstruction the place arrived back to the point where it started: in 2000 it opened again as Central Coffeehouse.
Just sit in for a coffee during your sightseeing walk, and watch the cars and people going by! :) Leave a Comment Theme: CoffeehousePrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 5th district, Karolyi Mihaly utca 9.Phone: +36 1 266 21 10Directions: Near Ferenciek tere (metro M3, buses 5 7 7express 7A 8 15 78 112 173express).Website: http://www.centralkavehaz.hu

This is a "Grande Cafe", hundreds of seats over two floors. Stunning interior, ambience par excellence, bow-tied waiting staff AND they actually smile when serving. If you just go in for a coffee or a full meal it all seems very laid back, nothing is a problem. The toilets are immaculate which is not necessarily always the case in such places.
I only had one lunch there but it did stand out in my mind as exceptional.
Do visit the website, the musical accompaniement is pretty cool, though at the time of writing the English option was still under construction.
I had the Hungarian stuffed pancakes with a paprika cream sauce as a starter, which were delish, followed by another starter - the goose liver salad, perfectly cooked slices of rich liver on a well dressed salad base. Plenty of delicous bread and toast, washed down with a korso of beer and all for about Ł10 gbp - the bill in forints was 3910 including service.

Cafe Central is a great spot for enjoying a romantic meal. It has a certain air about the place, very formally dressed waiters, an excellent menu. The interior is very plush and spacious, you must dine here once if you come to Budapest.

Central Kavehaz (Cafe Central)
Historic cafe that has been renovated and has a casual-elegant atmosphere. It used to be a meeting place for writers, journalists, artists, etc., in the first part of the 20th century. Now it's popular with different kind of people, old and young, students and businessmen....that's why I like it.
Everything.

This historic little coffeehouse offers more than just coffee. They have a decent selection of meals and sandwiches, breakfast, almost anything you want. The wood and ceramic tile reminds one of early century (last one that is) grand train stations or cruise. You know when travelling was a grand affair. It's like something out of a novel. The main feature are 15ft windows. They even write a blurb about them on the menu.
While the meals are pretty good, this place has the best damn espresso that I've had in a while.
Come for any meal. Stay for coffee and dessert.

This restaurant has a long history. It was opened first time in 1887, and it was indeed in a central position, geographically and spiritually as well, so it quickly became the center of the intellectual life in Budapest.
The interior is typically from the beginning of the 1900 years. Thonet chairs, marmor tables on cast iron legs, persian carpets and armchairs, english style leather club furniture with palm trees, pictures of the city and mirrors on the walls.
During the long years it has gone through a lot of ups and downs, and in the last couple of years the building has got back its original state and it is now again a coffeehouse of the same style as in the older times.
As it is located in the downtown, if you are there on sightseeing, and get tired of the walk, I suggest to sit inside here to have a refreshing drink and enjoy the time.
Although it mainly provides a comfortable environment for a cup of coffee and a tolk with friends, you can have nice breakfast and other dishes, too.
