I Been To The Most Beautiful Cafe In The World: New York Cafe And Its In Budapest

New York Cafe is one of the most beautiful cafe in the world that I ever been to, the opulent interior was just mesmerising. It was an unforgettable experience to sit in a exquisitely decorated cafe surrounded by art. Its probably the best looking place to sip your coffee.

The New York Café has lived through many eras, political systems and historical turning points. Still, it has always been reborn, sparkling and occupied by those who longed for its comforts: artists, members of the nobility and commoners alike. The Boscolo Group has reconstructed it in a way which reflects the tendency to regain its old patina and reputation ranking it as the “Most Beautiful Coffee House in the World”.

At the turn of the 20th century the New York Café (New York Kávéház in Hungarian) was the most beautiful and the most beloved coffee house in Budapest. It was a popular place among writers and editors, in fact, the most influential newspapers were edited here, upstairs in the gallery. After World War II, the once famous café fell into disrepair and it served as a sporting goods shop. Although the café reopened in 1954, under the name of Hungária, it wasn't until 2006 that the New York Café was restored to its original splendour.

Today, the New York Palace, built in eclectic Italian Renaissance-style and opened on October 23rd 1894, gives home to the New York Palace Boscolo Hotel. The café menu recalls the multicultural cuisine of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Classic dishes like Beef Goulash, Fishermen Soup and Grilled Foie Gras are served along with famous desserts such as Dobos and Eszterházy cake.
