V., Károlyi Mihály u. 9.
The legendary 19th century café has recently been restored to its original
splendour in the Inner City. Today, the lower floor is the café with
marble-topped tables, and there is a restaurant on the gallery. Fine coffees and
home-made pastry. A place for extended conversations:
you can stay for hours with a glass of mineral water. What is modern is the
separation of smokers and non-smokers.

delicacies are still prepared according to the original recipes. The interior
recalls a turn-of-the-century atmosphere.
