The place
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 house's classic cakes, such as the Gerbeaud cake (layers of pastry with walnut, apricot jam and a chocolate coating) and the Dobos torta, layers of sponge and chocolate cream with caramel on top. The coffee is the house's own blend and roast. To take away, cognac cherries, langues de chat and chocolates.
When to go
Open Sunday to Thursday from 9:00 to 20:00 and Friday and Saturday until 21:00. No reservations: free tables are taken in order of arrival. In December the square has a Christmas market and the place is full.
