One of the many things that Budapest
is known for is its many, many cafés. The cafés has played a big part in the
everyday life here in Budapest, providing scenes for socializing. Of course,
the fact that Hungary is known for their cakes and pastries does not really
make the cafés less relevant nor less desirable. The city is filled with
everything from old-fashioned, classic cafés to more modern ones. Since all good things comes in threes, here are 3 tips of cafés in Budapest that are all worth a visit!
Enjoy some
peace and quiet - Művész Kávéház
This café belongs to the category of
older, more traditional Hungarian cafés. It was built in 1898 and the classic
style is really interpreted in the interior design, which is characterized with
a feeling of luxury thanks to the high ceiling, as the huge mirrors and
chandeliers. The variety of freshly produced pastries and cakes is to the cafés
advantage, as well as the quiet and calm atmosphere. It is also possible to
order a lighter lunch as they offer sandwiches, salads etcetera. It’s the perfect
place to bring a book, enjoy some peace and quiet and just relax. Művész
Kávéház is located at Andrassy utca, close to the Opera and in connection to
the more upper-scale brands and shops in Budapest. Even so, the prices are not
that high and in return you get a soothing atmosphere and excellent pastries!

Catch up
with a friend - Amber´s French Bakery
and Café
The second tip of the day is Amber’s
French Bakery and Café, a modern and fresh café located in connection to Váci
Utca at Fővám tér.
In excess of the
obvious statement in the name, the café is decorated in blue and white and
subtle, French music is playing in the background. If you haven’t figured it
out already, the theme here is France. This is the perfect café to visit with a
friend, have some coffee and just enjoy. There is also the opportunity to sit
outside, something that I really recommend if the weather allows it! The
pastries are really good and they also serve smaller lunch alternatives – their
brie baguette is heaven!

Get a smile
on your face - Cat Café
It is as amazing as it may sound.
It’s a café – but with cats. The café itself is not really something out of the
ordinary, the interior and overall look of the place is not amazing but you do
not really notice thanks to the furry friends lurking around. There are of
course some rules regarding the dos and don’ts of how to be around the cats but
overall the atmosphere is playful but in a peaceful way. The café is centrally
located close to the Bazilika, is quite big and offers a good but pretty narrow
spectrum of pastries. You can however buy cat snacks and play with cats so
maybe you don’t really visit this place because of the pastries anyways. The
Cat Café is worth a visit if you are looking for something a little bit more
special, or if you, like me, miss your pet back at home. No matter the reason,
I’m sure you will leave with a smile on your face. Oh and the place offers wifi,
so you can post as many cat-pictures you want on social media during your
visit!
