Gerbeaud Café
Budapest, HungaryAbout Gerbeaud Café
Budapest's most famous café — a grand 19th-century patisserie on Vörösmarty Square with gilded salons, a legendary cake counter (the Esterházy and Dobos tortes are mandatory), and a terrace that has served the city's intelligentsia since 1858. Touristy but genuinely magnificent.
