Gerbeaud Confectionery and Restaurant
The legendary Gerbeaud, in the heart of Budapest, is 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, and by 1990 was already world-famous. 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.
Gerbeaud's specialities include famous cakes, such as Esterházy and Dobos cakes, as well as all kind of cream cakes, extravagant bakery goods and exquisite ice-creams.
Up to 330 guests can enjoy the classic coffee-house atmosphere in the various salons, whiling away the day reading newspapers, chatting, people-watching, and thinking. On warm days, there is room on the terrace for an additional 300 guests.
The youthfully classic restaurant of the Gerbeaud House is opened more than one year ago and waiting for it's guests with a special atmosphere and gourmet dishes. Its wine selection includes the best Hungarian wines as well as best foreign wines and Champagnes. The enomatic wine storage system is one of the specialties of the restaurant. Not only the restaurant's harmonious youthful and modern interior is unique, but it follows the verve and courage in the selection of the kitchen as well with its young cook team.
