Café Kör

The restaurant has a really cozy atmosphere. They have both a standard menu and a special one with recommendations, handwritten on posters. I ordered the foie gras, and they served complimentary bread — a really good ciabatta. The foie gras was absolutely amazing! So fragrant and rich, with a perfect amount of fat, and the portion was quite generous. The potato slices were also cooked just right. I was totally satisfied — the best foie gras I’ve had in Budapest!

Perfect Budapest Culinary Dream – Lived Up to Every Recommendation! Café Kor came highly recommended by an admirer who lived in Budapest years ago, and it not only lived up to the hype but surpassed it. My two friends and I chose it for a special Christmas treat, and the experience was unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. The food was fabulously divine, each dish crafted with care. The wine selection was beautifully curated and perfectly complemented our meal. The service was just that: perfect—attentive without being intrusive. What made it extra special was the vibrant atmosphere; clearly a beloved spot for locals, which we loved being a part of. We felt like welcomed guests in a true Budapest institution. For a memorable, wonderful meal, Café Kor is a must. Do yourself a favour and make a reservation—this gem is deservedly popular! Highly recommend!

Close to the Basilica. Tried Hungarian dishes here for the first time. Their goulash is delicious. My favorite was part of their lunch menu, the oven baked duck leg. Servings were generous. They have limited non-alcoholic drinks. We ordered lemon iced tea and house-made iced tea. Both served in big glasses. Service was great and they also have clean toilets.

Super cozy restaurant in the heart of Budapest. We had our best dinner here, everything was good and the staff was super kind. Felt like eating where locals eat. Must try this place!

We immediately found a table when we arrived, and the staff member who attended to us was very kind and attentive. I wanted to try the duck, and it was both delicious and filling with its large portions. The service was quick. The only problem was that a strong smell of food was coming from the ventilation window downstairs, which was quite disturbing for us.

Really delicious food — even though it’s in a tourist area, I can assure you it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re coming for great food, this is your place! It doesn’t have a fancy atmosphere or special lighting, but that means nothing once you taste the food. I also saw the owner personally making sure everything was running well, which is always wonderful to see. Thank you for keeping such high-quality food and standards!

I first came here in 1996 with my sister who was living in Budapest. I returned in 2018, sent numerous friends here and just returned again in Nov 2025. Each time my meals were delicious and authentic, very much like what my Hungarian mother made. Restaurants in Budapest have become outrageously expensive, Cafe Kor still has reasonable prices. Do not miss coming here! 🇭🇺❤️🌶️

My wife and I visited this restaurant 15 years ago and we loved it. Since we had fond memories of the place we decided to revisit it. Unfortunately we won't go there for a third time. Food wasn't bad but also wasn't great. For the appetizer we ordered the duck salad which contained seared duck meat on top of chopped tomato, lettuce and onions smothered in a vinegraitte which overpowered everything. My goulash with pasta was more or less ok but the meat was quite rough to chew. My wifes duck legs were a much better attempt but the meat was rather chewy. Dessert was a disaster, - 5 for presentation. The ambience of the place was great. Tables and chairs much too narrow and uncomfortable.
