Kuplung is located in a former garage that maintains its original grubby appearance on the outside. It's not an easy place to spot, but look for clubbers heading behind its wooden gates and you'll soon find the party. There's table tennis and foosball, live concerts, and a DJ spinning electronic music. Kuplung is also an ideal place for a coffee when strolling on Király Street, Budapest's Design Street.

The High Note Sky Bar sits atop the Aria Hotel next to the Basilica. It offers expensive, but excellent drinks, and a stunning view of the Basilica itself. We of course here at Street & River would rather have you stay with us, but we have to recommend the rather tasty drinks and views of the High Note Sky Bar.

Food Scene

Among the trendy restaurants of Liszt Ferenc Square, you can find Menza, a vintage place where the tablecloths are still striped and the chicken soup is still rich in meat. However, apart from letcho, you can find all modern options on the menu - even hamburgers. Supposedly, they invented the idea of serving all the vegetables, extra meat and dumplings in a separate bowl, and then they pour the soup on it from something that looks like a teapot. It’s definitely worth to drop by for a lunch menu, and for a nice cocktail outside on the terrace on a lovely summer day.

It is an scene of Hungarian literary life, the meeting point of tourists and art enthusiasts, and the stronghold of refined gastronomy. The café that was once chosen as the most beautiful in the world is found on the ground floor of Boscolo Hotel Budapest, in the buzzing downtown. If you yearn for a touch of the aristocratic vibes, drop in for a coffee and immerse yourself into an authentic 19th century coffee experience in a scenery of gilded and marble surfaces ornamented with wood and crystal. A majestic spot with authentic traditions.

Gerbeaud, one of Vörösmarty tér’s (Vörösmarty Square) emblematic venues, is arguably the most famous confectionery and coffee house in Budapest, which also belongs to the cream of the crop in Europe, and has been operating a unit in Tokyo since 2009. The inmeasurable experience of a 164-year-long history determines Gerbeaud’s enviable selection, which is basically an exhibition of confectionery art. The interior is dominated by three materials – marble, gold, and wood -, and recalls the atmosphere of early 20th century Budapest, when once-in-a-generation poets and writers were café-hopping all day long.

Kőleves, situated on the ruin pub-heavy Kazinczy Street, looks and tastes like a dime-a-dozen restaurant, but right behind mediocrity there's a true downtown treasure, a chilled open-air nook called Kőleves Garden. During the warmer months, university students and romancing couples frequent this silent shelter, where you can sit down on one of the colorful chairs or the swings swaying at the counter, though the tiny pebbles covering the ground might sneak into your slippers.

Another excellent typical restaurant, with giant portions! Every kind of meat. The only flaws are the cakes, giant but not good. Obligatory booking, it's in front of Városliget, the public city park, near the wonderful Hero's Square. Hungarian wines are good. Metro stops: Hősök tere (M1), Széchenyi fürdő (M1), but the Keleti central station (M2, M4) is not far.

Centrál Kávéház (Centrál Café), located in downtown Budapest, a corner away from Erzsébet híd (Elizabeth Bridge) and Váci utca (Váci Street), was founded in 1887, and served as an intellectual citadel frequented by the sharpest literary minds and the most iconic actors and actresses of the early 1900s. After WW II had ended, misfortune descended upon Centrál, which process culminated in the 1990s, when Centrál’s premises gave home to an arcade. The revival of the original concept began in 1999: the historic interior was restored with all its paintings, chandeliers, and wooden furniture-masterpieces, although the lack of literary geniuses is hard to compensate.
