Gerbeaud is the best-known confectioner's in Budapest. The story began in 1858 with Henrik Kugler and continued with the Swiss Emil Gerbeaud, who gave it his name. It occupies an entire building on Vörösmarty tér, at the start of Váci utca, with high-ceilinged salons, chandeliers and woodwork, and a terrace on the square.
What to order

The coffee is the house's own blend and roast. To take away, cognac cherries, langues de chat and chocolates.
