Café Kor
Price: HUF2,000 to HUF4,000
The ever popular Cafe Kor first opened several years ago as a miniscule bar but has since occupied a more spacious premises near the Basilica, and a brand new terrace recently. The interior here has a relaxed and cozy café-like atmosphere, and the light, airy bistro is very popular with young ex-pats, students, and Hungarian yuppies seeking lighter fare. Chef Ádám Répás prepares one of the most imaginative menus based on traditional Hungarian cuisine, but made following a lighter western taste and the menu changes daily, and the home-made desserts are to die for too. Wine is available by the glass.

Gerbeaud
Price: under HUF2,000.
A landmark Budapest café-confectionery is a must-see. The interior is gorgeous, done up in turn-of-the-20th-century Austro-Hungarian opulence, complete with rich plaster work, magnificent chandeliers, marble tables, lavish fine wood paneling, and brocade wall coverings. Among other decorative items is the piano that was intended for use on board the Titanic (it failed to make missed the boat). Enjoy the classic coffee-house atmosphere in the various salons, whiling away the day reading newspapers, chatting or people-watching and enjoy the wide variety of beautiful cakes, pastries and ice-creams on offer. Drinks include freshly brewed coffee and home made hot chocolate drinks.

Marquis de Salade
Price: HUF2,000 to HUF4,000
What started as a little wooden salad bar has over the years evolved into a spacious ground-floor eatery and cellar accommodating up to 100 guests. The food at Marquis de Salade, however, is as popular as ever. Georgian and Azerbaijani dishes are a specialty here, although the menu features dishes from around the world.
