Gerlóczy Kávéház

I stumbled upon Gerlóczy Káveház by chance—in a desperate attempt to find an open restaurant around Váci Utca on a Sunday—and ended up returning twice in the course of my weeklong trip. Located on the ground floor of a residential building on leafy Kamermayer Square, the restaurant serves delicious Hungarian-French fare, including daily specials that are fresh and simply prepared. A recent lunch included goose pâté, and salmon en papillote with fresh lentils, washed down with a glass of Hungarian Champagne. Be sure to order some of the many varieties of breads; they’re baked fresh on the premises daily. After returning home, I learned that Gerlóczy was featured in the Steven Spielberg film Munich, so it’s not a totally undiscovered find, but I barely heard a word of English spoken here; instead, the place drew a mix of local families, couples and groups of friends. Open 7 A.M.–11 P.M.; Sat. and Sun. from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m.
