A touch of splendor and air of grandeur- that is how I can explain my time in the most beautiful cafe of the world! Say hello to the New York Cafe in Budapest! This cafe is located in the Boscolo group of Hotels in Budapest which happens to be an Italian chain. It is a treat to walk in and see the baroque splendor and Venetian chandeliers along with gold paintings, marble tiles, silk cushions, hand painted walls and velvet upholstery!! The New Cafe in Budapest oozes charm and class and reminded me of a time long gone by.

I had breakfast there on my first morning in the city and was so impressed. Taking a seat on the ground floor by the window, I was smitten with its interiors. No photograph can explain the beauty of it.
Coming to the food, I would say I had little expectations from it which is why I chose slightly less riskier options. However, I was impressed in that department too. It was fresh and tasty. I ordered fresh juice, coffee, toast and Hungarian sausages with horse raddish and salad. Later I also had a pastry which wasn’t photographed. Did I say I was having breakfast?? Well …No… it was definitely lunch for me!!;)

Sitting and marvelling at the interiors was a great experience. I was mostly ogling at the ceiling and met two girls from China doing the same. I clicked at least 25 pictures for them and returned to my table as my coffee was getting cold. But fun day!! Had I been in a more touristy place such as Vienna or Venice I would have definitely spent a bomb but thanks to the comparatively cheaper prices in Eastern Europe it wasn’t even half of what I expected! Next time I definitely want to go there late at night because the place is open till 3 a.m. Cocktail time!

April 10, 2017 at 1:11 pmIt must be amazing in the winter to be in Budapest
Dr B
April 10, 2017 at 1:13 pmI suppose it’s amazing everywhere because of Christmas culture etc. Last few years we have spent Christmas in Lanzarote twice on the beach, Brussels, and Alfaix in Southern Spain.
Ishita
April 10, 2017 at 1:14 pmAbsolutely. It is still my dream to see a Christmas in Europe one day

April 2, 2017 at 2:54 pmGood for you Ishita 🙂 I just gawked at the cafe from the outside one evening in Budapest because I was quite full from the afternoon. I mean there is only that much my tummy can support me. It does a lot of that. The cafe is stunning. Took me back to another world too.
Ishita
April 2, 2017 at 4:00 pmHaha I know what you mean. Specially with so many goodies there. The cafe is spectacular!

April 2, 2017 at 4:09 pmI was like a child in a candy store, only such a beauteous one 😉 I wonder if anyone has ever called the New York Cafe beauteous 😀 Grand, yes. But anyway, blabbering apart, I did miss out on sitting inside and I am glad I got a feel of it through your post. Cheers.
Ishita
April 2, 2017 at 7:30 pmMe too 😛 Grand and so royal. There was so much class. Maybe you can visit the city someday. Glad I helped 🙂

April 2, 2017 at 9:22 pmWhen I visit it again, I have a whole lot to do. It was so cold that my feet would freeze into wooden blocks even though I wore fur-lined boots. Which is why I was eating and drinking the whole day long and so New York Cafe had to be missed! Vicious cycle, I tell you. I do not however mind living up the vicarious pleasures of life through others. So yes, you helped 🙂
Ishita
April 2, 2017 at 11:06 pmThank you for saying that 🙂 I can imagine it in winter. Must be so different. I can go again

April 2, 2017 at 11:33 pmBe armed with shots of vodka for every few steps you take in winter then. Even the warmest of clothes do not do anything from the bones going numb. But yes, the Christmas markets are so very lovely.
Ishita
April 3, 2017 at 1:37 amI’m going to remember it for next time 🙂 thank you
