- Freshly cooked, seasonal selection
- Classic Hungarian flavours with a twist
- Vegetarian options
- Sandwiches made from sourdough bread
- Bistro platters, soups, salads

All our dishes are made on the spot with carefully selected, premium ingredients. With us, you don't have to choose between fast and quality - the two go hand in hand.

Who do we recommend it to?
- If you work in the area and want a good lunch
- If you are a tourist and want an authentic Hungarian taste experience
- If you could just take a break, with a plate of home-cooked food
