Breakfasts in Budapest
Monday – Cinnamon (1027 Budapest, Csalogány Street 21)

Tuesday – Szimply (1052 Budapest, Károly Boulevard 22)
Szimply, hiding in a silent gateway in downtown Budapest, is characterised by a versatile menu that is renewed every month and elaborated breakfast wonders. For instance, May was the month of almond French toast with black rhubarb, peanut-tomato sorbet and strawberries, and “Denis” eggs fried in buns with spinach, cheddar cheese, bacon and dill-garlic cucumber. The owners always think of people following vegan, vegetarian, gluten or sugar free diets so they also have special meals for them.

Wednesday – Amber’s French Bakery & Café (1056 Budapest, Fővám Square 5)
“Chansons, charm, courtesy, incredible ciabattas, baguettes, croissants, fantastic cakes, eclairs, tarts and a petit French feeling” – this is how the place found at Fővám Square advertises itself. And this is exactly what they offer: a taste of France. Among others, they have chocolate-pistachio cake, chicken-avocado baguette, “Croque Monsieur” ham toast and amazing coffees. It’s good to know that if you register for an Amber’s Friend card online, you get 10% off every meal.

Thursday – Zoska (1053 Budapest, Ferenczy István Street 28)
Zoska, found in the neighbourhood of Astoria, is a tiny island of peace in the capital city. They welcome you with great breakfasts all day long. Their repertoire is simple, but this is exactly what makes the place so magical. You can choose from French toast with sour cream, American pancakes, peach-caprese sandwich, tuna salad and dipping bowls. You can enjoy your breakfast with your pet in a comfortable armchair, on the terrace or among soft pillows on the window-seat.

Friday – fekete (1053 Budapest, Múzeum Boulevard 5)
There are still many people who don’t know that the 11 m2 espresso bar of the Museum Boulevard was expanded with a brew & food bar in 2015. Besides the new-wave coffees, you can try divine desserts and breakfasts on the inner yard of the cosy house. Their excellent quality coffee is almost unmatchable, while the minimalist and sustainable design and interior is definitely unbeatable. They welcome guest with fruit tarts, brownies, pancakes, omelettes, ham & eggs and other delicacies. Give it a try!
