"Muveszinas" is classy and romantic Hungarian restaurant with atmosphere of late 19th century Budapest. The silent music, candles, photos of actors and actreses from late 19ht and early 20th century, books in hungarian, german, french, english and some in russian, too.

Restaurant Name: Gerbeaud cafe

"Budapesters have never quite gotten over the loss of their pre-WWII cafe culture, when nationally known writers and journalists held court, spending their entire day hunched over a manuscript and coffee cup. Some of the historic cafes remain open to this day, and are well worth a visit - but the guest at the next table is more likely to be a backpacker then a bard" - it's written in guide-book.
And "Gerbeaud" is not only one of these historic cofes, but also one of the largest, most traditional, and most famous café-confectioneries in Europe.
"The café was established by Henrik Kugler in 1858 and expanded by its later owner, Emil Gerbeaud. In 1995, Gerbeaud House came into the ownership of the German businessman Erwin Müller. Lovingly renovated in 1997, "Gerbeaud" shines with the cultured nostalgia of its original days: rich plaster work, magnificent chandeliers, marble tables, lavish fine wood paneling, and brocade wall coverings that characterise the elegant, yet comfortable atmosphere of this home of tradition" - said our guide-book.

Open: 9:00 - 21:00 (daily)

Favorite Dish: "Gerbeaud Cake" - black chocolate, something between sweet and bitter. Execellent! Taste it!
And coffee was execellent, too.
