Ahoy! Chocolate and Lemonade bar

Address | Website | Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 11:00 – 21:00

Ahoy! is a very cosy place near Deák square in the heart of Budapest. It is easily accessible by M3, M2+ a short walk or several midtown buses (like bus 5 or 7). Do not be intimidated by the small and little bit jam-packed space that greets you in the entrance. The stairs lead you to the guest area upstairs, where several different sized tables are awaiting you to get cosy and have a sugar rush. The décor gives a unique vibe to the place. The drinks are as good as the waffles. You are in charge of creating the waffle of your desire. On the menu, you can choose from dozens of spreads and toppings, including (but not limited to) Nutella, peanut butter, ice cream, whipped cream, fruits, and marshmallows. This place is as ideal for an afternoon delight with the girls, as well as a cosy evening with your date.

Á la Maison Grand

Address | Website | Opening hours: Monday to Sunday: 8:00 – 17:000

If you are feeling particularly fancy one morning, this is the place to go. The sparkling white tablecloths and the elegantly dressed waiters and waitresses will make you feel like you are royalty. Funzine calls the place “France’s deputy in Budapest.” Luckily, their food is as good as the presentation. I personally tried their Eggs Benedict, their American pancakes and their salty French toast, and boy can I vouch for these. Á la Maison Grand is definitely one of the most popular brunch places in the capital, and making a reservation in advance is highly recommended. It is not the cheapest place on this list, but you will get a superior experience for your money.
