New York Cafe: The Most Beautiful Cafe In The World _ Budapest


The World's Most Beautiful Cafe

'There is no literature without a Cafe' - stated Sandor Marai, Hungarian writer from the 20th century, who himself frequently visited the historical building of the New York Cafe.


The Most Beautiful Cafe In the World

At the turn of the 20th century the New York Café (New York Kávéház) was the most beautiful and the most beloved coffee house in Budapest.


It was a popular place among writers and editors, in fact, the most influential newspapers were edited here, upstairs in the gallery.


After World War II, the once famous café fell into disrepair and it served as a sporting goods shop.


Although the café reopened in 1954, under the name of Hungária, it wasn't until 2006 that the New York Café was restored to its original splendor.



The New York Cafe has lived through many eras, political systems and historical turning points. Still, it has always been reborn, sparkling and occupied by those who longed for its comforts: artists, members of the nobility and commoners alike.

Today, the New York Palace, built in eclectic Italian Renaissance-style and opened on October 23rd 1894, gives home to the New York Palace.


The café, along with a restaurant and the Nyugat -bar are now part of the hotel. The menu recalls the multicultural cuisine of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.


Classic dishes like Beef Goulash, Fishermen Soup, Chicken Leg Paprikash-style, Wiener Schnitzel and Grilled Foie Gras are served along with famous desserts such as Dobos, Sacher and Eszterházy cake.


The New York Café boasts the title "The Most Beautiful Café In The World", in addition, it is one of the top catering workshops in Budapest.


It is not only reforming the Hungarian Gastronomy and establishes the so-called "essential Hungarian Gastronomy" but is also regarded as the leader among the creators of international gastronomical trends.

The New York Café is an amazing experience, a special venue for an unforgettable wedding lunch or gala dinner.


Italian elegance, the love of the Renaissance, the harmony of white and gold colours, will enchant the guests in an almost fairytale setting.


The real beauty of the rooms is accentuated by the Murano glass chandeliers.


Thanks to the enchanting features of the site: the composition of marble, bronze, silk and velvet, the decoration has already been taken care of by the architects.


The beautiful cafe is intricately designed giving historic vibes through its articulated ceilings and wall decors.


Thus, New York Cafe is the world's most beautiful cafe.
