When you hear the word café, you can easily associate it with something simple. A plain table with a modest little cup of coffee on it next to a clean white napkin. The day you enter the doors of Budapest's New York Café will change everything.
In the smallest but most populous district of the city of Pest, Erzsébetváros you can find a magnificent building erected in the end of the 19th century. The 120 year old castle like building is called the New York Palace planned by the famous architects Alajos Hauszmann, Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl. Looking at it you could think this is one of the main municipal buildings of the district but it isn't. It's a great building of a hotel owned and renovated by the Italian Boscolo Group. That's how a hotel look like in Budapest including a high class café.

New York Café has been earned the title 'The Most Beautiful Coffee House in the World'. No wonder why. When I first walked in, my jaws were on the floor. The interior of the place looks exactly like a 1st class saloon of an old ocean liner, only with much bigger headroom. The panel paintings, the fountains, the objects made of high quality materials like bronze or velvet all together is too much beauty to handle. No wonder it was the most frequented meeting spot of journalists, writers, poets and other artists through the long decades.

As one of the top catering workshops of Budapest, it is not only providing the traditional Hungarian gastronomy with reforming it. It's also one of the leader creators of international gastronomical trends. It's important to know that they only work with the best and most reliable suppliers of the country whose produtcs are also guarantee to the top quality catering. The establishment is one of the best choices for holding an event like a business party with tuxedos and cigars or a majestic wedding to remember.

If you have some time on a nice weekend morning, grab your jacket and your company, and have the most memorable brunch of your life! My favourite among the snack and pasta dishes is the New York Burger with potato crisp and mixed salad. For a fine dessert, have a delicious crunchy peanut cake. I also recommend you the Irish coffee, it's the best I've ever tasted. Whatever you choose, you just can't make a bad decision here!
