Trendy restaurant/cafe with the right style and the menu looked promising. However I was disappointed with both my tomato soup and rocket salad. Perhaps it's a better place to lounge with a latte since there is free wifi (just ask for the password). Then again, the coffee is just average as well. More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2012

we tried one afternoon - pretty shabby furnishings - and there were only 2 othertables taken. The waiter eventually managed a smile as we were finishing our meal. Thought we would try other evening late but there were still hardly any tables taken so we went elsewhere looking for a friendlier and more welcoming atmosphere More

This is a good place for casual outdoor dining, especially if you like people watching. There are theaters in the neighborhood, so in the evening the sidewalks are full of people going to and from the shows. I had a basic but delicious dish: chicken paprikás with noodles and pickles. What doesn’t go better with pickles? (I wasn’t quite as... More

This is a great place to sit outside and watch the world go by. Our mojitos were expertly made and served with a smile. And we saw CNN's Richard Quest there as well! Brilliant. More

The restolounge Eklektika is quite trendy. The food is excellent, even the simple things like pizza will surprise you. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. The weekly lunch menu costs 990.- ft / person and is served between 12.00 -15.00. The waiters are very friendly. You can see some pictures of the restolounge here: http://www.eklektika.hu/ More

We ate there twice, since it was just up the street from our hostel. We got the same waiter, and he was slow even by Budapest standards. Call me an impatient American, but I like to be acknowledged within 15 minutes after sitting down. Food is great, though, and the location couldn't be beat. Sit outside and watch the world... More

Stumbled on this cafe when looking at the theatres that exist in the same street. We also chose it as it was close to our accomodation, they spoke good English and we could understand the menu! It is air-conditioned (it was 43 degrees when we were there) so it was a welcome relief. Unfortunately smoking is still allowed in Hungarian... More
