Book Café

This stunning café is worth visiting just to take in the opulent dining room. Located in a historic Art Nouveau and Neoclassical building on the Andrassy Ut, Book Café occupies the second floor of the Alexandra bookstore. It’s great for a coffee and cake, but is most famous for its amazingly high ceiling—an artistic masterpiece by Karolu Lotz and Arpad Feszty. Lotz was also responsible for the ceiling in the entrance hall of the Hungarian State Opera House, and the two are almost identical.
