The 18 Essential Restaurants in Budapest
"You might have to stand in line with visitors to enter this historic pastry shop and coffeehouse, but Gerbeaud is no tourist trap. Opened in 1884, it’s one of the few establishments that survived the Communist era — when it went by the name Vörösmarty and was under state ownership — and it still retains much of the striking original interior complete with chandeliers and cherrywood paneling. Apart from the vibes, you’re here for the Esterházy torte, named after a Hungarian noble family, which consists of layers of buttercream and ground walnuts topped with white fondant." - Tas Tobias
