Confectionery here reflect Budapest’s golden age, when the city was awash with gilded cafés. Many have been revived in recent times, and are great for enjoying a bit of local culture :)
Here’s a selection of seven classics, each coming with a slice of history and a recommended venue for each sweet creation so you can sample each for yourself in a different confectionery.
E.g. for a special variation of an iconic cake, visit Matild Café for an Esterházy Bon Bon. One of Europe's finest coffeehouses located in Budapest at Váci utca 36 is a much-loved local institution.
