Borssó Bistro

Budapest. Restaurants. Borssó Bistro

Two-level French bistro-style restaurant with soft and charming interior and excellent service (despite it being included in the bill). Though menu is not very extensive (especially the dessert section) food is truly delicious and nicely presented. They also offer daily specials. Borssó might be an ideal place for romantic dinner.

Gerlóczy Kávéház

Budapest Gerlóczy Kávéház

Quiet restaurant in the quiet downtown square. The prices are average, and the waiters speak English. The point of difference though is the opening hours – it is one of the rare places in the center of Budapest where you can have breakfast. Among other advantages are their many varieties of daily menus and desserts. The turnoff is the annoying reminders from the waiters that "service is not included".

V. Gerlóczy utca 1

Jedermann

Budapest. Jedermann

Having changed its owners and the name from Eckermann to Jedermann, this cafe by the Goethe Institute still remains a hub for many German speaking expats who come here to read newspapers and magazines, have a lunch or a cup of coffee. The food is inexpensive, the cafe is quiet enough in the daytime to work with your laptop and crowded enough in the evening to have a drink with your friends.
