Sometimes, there is nothing better than a lazy day. When, instead of making breakfast for yourself in the morning, you would rather look for a cosy place and go have brunch.
As everyone knows, brunch came from combining the words breakfast and lunch. A meaty brunch is not only a super starter of the day but its effects can last even until the evening. You can also make brunch at home, but if you want to save time, we will show you some places that will not disappoint.
Á la Maison is available in Buda and Pest as well. The owner, Andrea Zöldhegyi, and her brother Nándor opened their first restaurant in 2014. This restaurant with 20-25 seats was soon outgrown, as there was a great demand for a comfortable breakfast place in Budapest. After that, they moved to Szervita Square, close to Vörösmarty Square and the Danube Bank. The menu features real brunch classics such as eggs benedict, croque madame, and croque monsieur. We can also get a taste of the Goose Liver Benedict. Breakfast options include Viennese, English, French, Vegetarian, Los Angeles, and fitness breakfasts.
Located in the first district of Budapest, Déryné is a real cosmopolitan place. A warm breakfast, espresso, and fresh, homemade pastries have been available since 1914. You can choose from delicious food from morning to late afternoon. The menu includes benedicts, overnight oats, brioche, French toast, and even salmon.
Franziska is also located in Buda, in the first district close to the Danube bank. Franziska offers a solution to all food allergies. Vegans and gluten-sensitive people do not stay hungry either. In addition to egg variations, you will also find croissant, waffle, and homemade granola. One of their most popular products is the avocado toast and the smoothie bowl.
The BITE bakery café is now available in three locations in the city centre of the Hungarian capital. Breakfast and brunch are available there all day. There are several types of omelettes, bagels, croissants, rolls, and pretzels available in BITE. I ate the most delicious cinnamon roll of my life in BITE, so I would definitely recommend it if someone goes there.
Törökméz is a restaurant specialising in breakfast and brunch. It is located not far from Margaret Island in Buda, so we can work off the calories afterwards. Quality French-Italian-Hungarian ingredients, fresh juices, homemade cakes, daily soups, and coffee are all on the menu.
Anyám szerint (According to my mom) is located in the centre of Budapest on Wesselényi Street. We can also get a taste of American, French, English and Hungarian flavours. The restaurant’s strength is the family atmosphere and environment. If you visit here, you do not even have to leave your dog at home.
Before you set out, be aware of current epidemiological measures. At some places, you should book a table so you are guaranteed to not stay hungry.
The word “brunch” was first used in the publication, ‘Hunter’s Weekly’ by Guy Beringer in 1895. Beringer felt tired after long, large traditional post-church meals and suggested possibly something lighter.
