New York Café

Established in 1894, the New York Café is one of Budapest's most opulent and popular destinations. Stepping inside, you're greeted by breathtaking Baroque decor, stunning frescoes, glittering crystal chandeliers, and a vibrant atmosphere enhanced by live music, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors. Due to its immense popularity, queues can form even when tables are available inside. Reservations are highly recommended several days in advance. Please note that some visitors have mentioned a €30 minimum spend per person and a 2-hour seating limit. While visitor reviews praise the café's impeccable ambiance and decor, service can be slow at times and staff may come across as curt. Despite the higher price point, the New York Café is widely considered a must-visit for anyone exploring Budapest, offering a taste of history and grandeur. The menu features traditional Hungarian dishes alongside delectable desserts like 'somloi' and 'pancakes', and specialty drinks such as 'golden dusted coffee'.
