New York Café

4.1 ·

Step inside New York Café, an ornate 1894 coffeehouse in Budapest's 7th district full of frescoes and chandeliers. Order coffee and cake or a Hungarian dish, and take time to look around the interior.

📖

Full description

New York Café opened in 1894 and is known for its ornate interior of frescoes and chandeliers, serving coffee, cake and Hungarian cuisine from early morning until late at night. With a 4.1 rating from nearly 70,000 reviews, it is one of the most visited cafés in the city.

Reviewers agree the setting is spectacular and some praise dishes such as Eggs Benedict and mascarpone pancakes. Others report long queues and slow service, including one long wait for food, so expectations about organisation are worth managing.

It rewards visitors who come for the interior.

Reviews

The venue itself is beautiful, but the overall experience was hugely disappointing. We placed our order and waited an entire hour, only to be informed that the staff completely forgot to enter our food into the system. While they did offer a dessert to compensate for the mistake, waiting 60 minutes just to find out…
