About Centrál Kávéház
Centrál is one of the great survivors of Budapest’s coffee-house culture, when writers and journalists spent whole days at marble tables over coffee and newspapers. It sits on Károlyi Street near the university, with high ceilings and a long menu from breakfast to dinner. Settle in with a coffee and a slice of cake, and take your time.
