The Mc Donalds is located in one of the former royal waiting rooms, where the Queen and the King was waiting for the train to leave, thats why it looks so good :) Hope you had a good time, regards from Budapest
I’ve not been along the time to engage with the king and queen (last one was in 1918, Habsburg, WWI, Trianon and so on …) but I’ve been to this building a lot before McDonalds came in, it was a major post office …
One day i will go there for my first trip ever and plane to .my brother did go there a couple off years ago and he loved it very much .so beautiful !!!
@@DarrenChetana Hey, Hungarian here. It looks like that because it was built in 1894 and quickly became one of the central places of literature and arts in Budapest. Now it's more of a tourist attraction, I only got to visit it once because a foreigner took me there for a date lol.
Cafes look so good in there! I always think that travels are made easier when you have the best travel gears and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for dream vacation destination like this. Thought I'd share it to you guys too!
I visited Budapest in Febraury 2020 ( just before corona hit in earnest) and had coffee and cake in Cafe New York. It was busy but nothing like in your video. I regret not going to Gerbeaud for their famous chocolate/walnut/apricot squares. And I prefer quieter cafes anyway. Even small, regular cafes in Budapest were fantastic
What do you think, they rebuilt it in 1 year?! No! The renovation of the building was awarded the Europa Nostra medal in 2007. Don't worry, everything is exactly as shown in the video. We go there often, we love it!
@@gingin51 I meant it was not as busy as it is in the video, not that the cafe itself looked different. It's the most beautiful cafe I've ever been to i my life. Why do you sound upset?
Awesome that you got to visit Budapest! If that's what you like, Gerbeaud would suit you. It was smaller, quite and elegant. Great to hear you enjoyed your trip. 🙂
I really recommend the Cafe Frei if you visit next time Hungary. They have a very special coffee with shisha tobacco flavor. Also they have a wide range of coffee from different continent/culture such as Mexico French, America,.Italy, Arabia
@@DarrenChetana I am not visitetted this place, but I am living this town. Very interest. Very dificult. Are you anderstend me? Ha ha ha. Very, very arhitechture and this aura this place. Sorry, but i am lenguages is so bad. The ghost is the place.
Gerbeaud, no thanks. Never, ever go there. Over priced, and not freshly baked, they take it out from the freezer. Worst café. You should have gone to Szamos, just opposite. 100 times better.
@@DarrenChetana This is for tourists and the view is important. We Hungarians buy from Szamos. More expensive than average, but the quality is excellent. He has many stores in the country.
All these places once were fabulous, with excellent food at decent prices. Nowadays they’re just tourist traps, mediocre food for exuberant prices. You should still visit because the buildings are still marvelous both from the outside as well as the inside. But they’re so many places where you can get better food for a fraction of the price …
The old world charm, beats all the modern cafes. Give me the New York Cafe, any where any time.
I like a good mix as well, they both can be really captivating!

All of the cafes were fabulous! Budapest was a wonderful destination. :)

Thanks Darren for the great info! I will add this to my list of travels!
Absolutely! I hope you enjoy some of the best Budapest has to offer :)

That would be a great first trip! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
Damn look like an opera house.The Huns go all out in decor their presantation is on another level.
It is quite the experience!

Sounds interesting! Not surprising Budapest has many more nice cafes. :)
My father was borned in Hungary. He always drinked cold coffea instead of hot coffea. I want to know if there was that option in the café you visited?
Not that I remember on the menu but it's the kind of place that should easily accommodate. Have you been to Hungary?
@@DarrenChetana I would have been happy if l knew Hungary, but never been there. Just remember my hunarian father taking cold coffea 😉
@@gustavoberenyi8695 It's a lovely place. Maybe a cold coffea in Hungary is your next visit. 👌
You can get it everywhere. Ice coffee
Do they have breakfast bufe?
Yes there is! There are many options they have for you to pick from. I did both, are you planning on visiting?
New Museum open in the Liget (city park). Magyar Zeneháza -Hungarian Music House and Museum of Etnography. Brilliant architecture.
Nice! thanks for recommending :)
What about VÖRÖSMARTY ?
Haven't heard of Red Smarty, what is it?
@@DarrenChetana GERBEAUD hieß früher VÖRÖSMARTY 😃
@@DarrenChetana Red Smarty ? Never heard....🤷🏼♀️
VÖRÖSMARTY war ein ungarischer Dichter !
Was it kosher?
Highly likely there are kosher options, i just can't say for sure
And some famous writher and poists.
Good point, have you visited?
I'm sorry, but I wrote what I wrote for informational purposes only. I wish the city good luck.

Hi
Hello, how are you?
Gerbeaud, no thanks. Never, ever go there. Over priced, and not freshly baked, they take it out from the freezer. Worst café. You should have gone to Szamos, just opposite. 100 times better.
It was located in a nice area but didn't live up to what was expected. Szamos next time!
@@DarrenChetana This is for tourists and the view is important. We Hungarians buy from Szamos. More expensive than average, but the quality is excellent. He has many stores in the country.
@@AlexAlex-zv7fc Appreciate you sharing the inside info about Szamos! Thanks 👌
I am Hungarian and I agree. Szamos is in many places. More expensive than average but worth it.
Én is voltam a Gerbaudban barátaimmal és nagyon finom süteményeket és kávét ittunk.
Etc....... .
Moskva Cafe ? ))
This that how it's spelt?
nice to be fatty haaaa. than i all day no more food but 20km wolking
It's all about balance! 😂

Sometimes that can happen, I still valued my experiences there. Any recommendations for tourists looking for something special?
Worst service.
Do not go.
