📖

Full description

Café Gerbeaud is a large, grand coffee house in the V. kerület, with a high-ceilinged dining room, chandeliers and a classic, cosy old-style interior. It serves coffee, cakes and Hungarian bistro dishes, and breakfast is also on offer.

With a rating of 4.1 across more than 12,000 reviews, opinions are mixed on value: the room itself draws consistent praise, while some visitors find the dessert prices high for what is served. It remains an atmospheric central stop, and one reviewer preferred its charm to that of the better-known New York Cafe.
