Gerlóczy Káveház

Gerlóczy Káveház Review

The green-and-yellow cane chairs and cafe tables of this elegant bistro remind you of a scene out of your favorite French movie. The terrace in the summertime is about the prettiest location for lunch in Budapest, on a quiet, leafy square tucked behind Váci utca. The menu has seasonal Hungarian favorites like sült libacomb (crispy goose leg) with red cabbage in winter, asparagus soup in the spring, but there are customers here all day long, drinking coffee and using the free wireless Internet service. Breakfast draws a big crowd on weekends. Come early for some of the city's fluffiest croissants.

    We visited this cafe on the last day of our visit to Budapest, on a rainy afternoon, which was a shame - I would have enjoyed returning here for a meal.

    We sat outside in the comfortable chairs and had beer and wonderfully served and tasting teas. The cafe is in a beautiful, quiety square, and it does have a French feel to it.

    The menu looked good, with a nice selection, and the interior of the cafe looked warm and cozy.

    When it opened the service was supreme - now it has become average. That is a shame because the balance of what makes an outstanding eatery is still there!
