Gerbeaud in Vörösmarty square is the most famous cafes in Budapest. Founded in 1858, it was a fashionable meeting place for the city's elite in the 19th and 20th Century. The founder was also famous for bringing Hungarian confectionary to the international scene.The shop itself is elegantly furnished in French chairs and round marble topped tables. It is quite a nice place to chill out on a hot summer day.
I've ordered the lemonade and the "Gerbeaud Classic". The lemonade was very refreshing on what was a very hot day. This was the best lemonade that I've had in Budapest.
The Gerbeaud Classic are Gerbeaud (ground walnut and jam filling between layers of sponge covered with chocolate), Dobos (A multilayered sponge cake, sandwiched with chocolate cream and covered in caramel icing) and Esterházy square (A multilayered walnut sponge filled with layers of brandy flavoured custard finished of traditionally with white fondant and chocolate). The cake is nice but I still prefer the French pastry, e.g. gâteau "Opéra".
SP ordered a lemonade and then a glass of Tokaj with the ice cream basket. The ice cream was very creamy and the basket was very tasty too.For more information:
