DOBOZ


Doboz is that certain place where guys usually go hunting for girls. Yes I saw it. So Doboz nights, other than dirty, are filled with mainstream music, but the place is nice, it has a wood monster from Hello Wood hanging from a tree, that's some museum piece right there!

Schedule
Monday to Wednesday from 17h - 02h

DOBLO


I came here to see some DJ that I barely knew. Didn't work for me though, I felt displaced. Doblo is pretty expensive and older audiences are more fit to this place. Dob utca, on the other hand, has a lot of other places you can head too if you are annoyed.

Schedule
Monday to Friday from 14h - 02h

DÉRYNÉ


This place is super fancy although this small stop sign icon is clearly not passing that message across. I went there in my best friend's last day he was in this wonderful city, we needed to say goodbye with a proper lunch, and so we did, and it was damn delicious.
Oh, and they have their own bread booth of course, also fancy, you just need to dodge some bees in the summer and you're fine.

CULINARIS


Not a place to eat or have coffee, but a place to buy both the ingredients to do so. Culinaris has stuff from around the world, maybe you can find that expensive italian cheese there, yes parma, or maybe choriço, who knows?

Schedule
Monday from 12h - 19h
Tuesday to Saturday from 09h - 19h
Culinaris has three different stores, I am puting the one I usually go to. Check the website to see all the products online

CSIGA


This gotta be one of my favourite places in Budapest. Very accessible, people are cool, the food is great and cheap (600 forints if you take just the main dish), the sandwiches are gigantic and come with real bread, not the shitty burgery thing.
Anyway, it is so perfect I don't know why people don't go there more ofter, but in a way I am glad they don't.

Schedule
Monday to Saturday from 10h - 00h

CSÉSZÉNYI KÁVÉZÓ


When I got in this café I started feeling like I was inside a church. People were really old, but that is ok, I just felt that I needed to tone down my voice a bit, it is very peaceful. The decoration was my favourite part: there is a display of old coffee grinders on the wall, they are beautiful! It makes a better art piece than a lot of stuff I've seen.

Schedule
Monday to Friday from 08h - 22h

CSERPES TEJIVÓ


I came to Cserpes after a suggestion to try the Mangalitsa sandwich, which I didn't, and I had coffee instead, and that was basically my main Cserpes experience before I decided it had to bright lights to be comfortable. Then I never returned. But it is quite nice for a franchising.

CSENDES TÁRS


Fancy brother of Csendes Létterem, smaller but with an older feel, Társ is more a little evening companion, more classy, with a nice wine selection and an outside place to sit in the beginning of Karoly garden.

Schedule
Monday to Sunday from 10h - 00h

CSENDES LÉTTEREM


Csendes is a very enjoyable place, I think I didn't explore properly still, it has a main big ruin pub room where you can vandalize walls free and happily, immortalising your presence in the building through a ballpoint pen. Csendes also has inside a vintage store called Nemruci and which seems pretty awesome.

Schedule
Monday to Friday from 10h - 02h

CSAK ART


A ruinish pub but a light small version of it. I didn't stay for long but it made the normal impression ruin pubs make: it is nice in a decadent way. The music was also very enjoyable (we listened to a classic I just had to search on youtube) and we had fun exploring the place.

Schedule
Monday to Thursday from 16h - 02h

CÖKXPON


This place looks poetic as hell. I had the chance to be there before it moved from the city center. I think the concept is to have a more chill relaxing place, and this came through perfectly in Sziget Festival, where all the hangover people were just taking a time to lay down and relax under the colourful fabric stripes.

The address presented is of Benthlen Theater, where now the events for the Cokxpon audience take place

COSTA COFFEE


Yet another big chain like California Coffee and Starbucks. Take it of leave it. I can barely tell these three apart.

Schedule
Open everyday at least until 19h

CORVINTETŐ


First time I came I got a little trauma so I never came back until I had a must-go goodbye meeting. That time it was good ol' 90's instead of the usual drum n' bass crap, plus seeing the sunrise form the roof was amazing until they kicked us out at 4 and I don't really know why. They also had a cool rooftop-cinema initiative in the Summer.
Anyway, for the D&B lovers, this is the place to go, specially on wednesdays, or so they say.

Schedule
Wednesday to Saturday from 22h - 06h

CHEERS PUB


Cheers is funny. It is pretty crappy looking, typical cheap bar, but it is near to Instant, so usually people end up there somehow either for pre-drinking or after-drinking. Dangerous stuff.

Schedule
Monday to Thursday from 11h - 02h
Friday from 11h - 03h
Saturday from 13h - 03h
Sunday from 15h - 24h

CHAGALL


Chagall is a good meeting place, the menus are using his artworks in an awful way though. But the food is delicious, the menus are ok priced and there are the habitués drinking coffee there every morning. No, not me.

Schedule
Monday to Sunday from 09h - 24h
The kitchen closes at 23h

CAT CAFÉ


I am picky with a lot of things but with Cat Café I am willing to accept the fact that it is a super touristic place because I am a cat person by nature and I just melt when I come in. I know the cat haters out there couldn't care less about this, but I also couldn't care less about that fact.

Schedule
Monday to Sunday from 10h - 22h

CASTRO BISTRO


How melodic the name of this place sounds. I like it a lot, it even has lunch menus on weekends, it is delightful. Also they have oat milk for the daring drinkers. The food is good and it is almost always full. Chop chop!

Schedule
Monday to Thursday from 11h - 24h
Friday to Saturday from 11h - 01h
Sunday from 14h - 24h

CALIFORNIA COFFEE


This is just here because it exists, really, it is a practical place to work and be I guess. But once in Hungary, I would say just stick to the more traditional local places and not this big evil chains.

Schedule

CALGARY


I should make a list of my favourite places because this one deserves to be there. It is small and personal, they have cheap lecsó and I feel like I am inside my grandmother's closet. The beer comes in the can, who cares? So many objects to interact with, so many things to wonder about.

Schedule
Monday to Sunday from 16h - 04h

CAFÉ VIAN


I had a very funny evening here. I went to Vian in Liszt Ferenc Tér and ordered a soup which came with a slice of lemon, which I distractedly added to my water after finishing. I felt silly, but that should always be the feeling in this place. Vian is my favourite writer, but I don't love the place, so many things they could have done, so much potential for weirdness, but no, just plain.
