Budapest Xperience

The spacious, easy to see through but still separated areas of this atmospheric café radiate pre-war peacefulness. The friendly colours and the decorative and, importantly enough, comfortable arm-chairs make even busy visitors to stay.

The huge glass-windows of the rooms provide an excellent view to the commotion in the streets; however they do not let the noise come in so they create a peaceful and quiet environment, perfect for heart-to-heart talk, reading or creation of any kind

The historic past and the historic intellectuality impose obligations on us, the descendants, too. We profess that we have to think and work in a way so that the reconstructed Central Café and Restaurant opened again in 2000 could be the worthy successor of the historic Central. In times past, the newspapers and periodicals edited in the Central, the discussions and the social life conducted here were not only outstanding accomplishments of the Hungarian artistic and scientific life but also formed the way of thinking of the Hungarian society to a large extent and had a positive effect on the social and intellectual development of society.

We, working in the café, try to do our best in order to make the Central the number one and most successful coffee-house in Budapest. We are proud to say that the arts are welcomed guests at our place too. We would like our visitors to come back to us happily once and again. We feel it is our responsibility to gain acknowledgement for our work and to renew our profession.

Central: past values for future success.

With the restarting of Central, we would like to witness the birth of a social location, where talking, listening and understanding each other turn into cultural experiences and where we can set a good example for public life. We believe that step by step, Central will have an increasingly inspiring effect on Hungarian public life. We consider it something especially important to face that the café and the restaurant can only fulfil their mission if we closely work together with our guests and we mutually help the development of each other’s way of thinking and taste. We believe that the Central is more than just an intimate coffee-house, a quality restaurant and a fine confectionery. But it cannot be more, without the constructive cooperation of our guests.

You are very welcome at the Central!
