A bite of music

The bar, lounge and terrace, decorated with the original signature of music legends, offers a modern menu with a European gastronomic twist, from morning until night. Sting, Lenny Kravitz, Plácido Domingo, Gregory Porter, Will Smith, Rita Ora and others have all visited the restaurant and have left their signature on the mirrored walls of Café Liszt.

Our cuisine

Chef Viktor Hiermann has created a menu of modern, European, accessible dishes, while also offering real Hungarian popular dishes. The menu is complemented by a vegan diet. Café Liszt also serves breakfast in the morning: in addition to the classic egg dishes, the menu includes eggs Benedict, eggs Royale and eggs Florentine, homemade granola with yoghurt, French pastries. All day long, you can choose from a selection of exciting coffee desserts, courtesy of pastry chef Pick Vera.

Macarons by Chez Dodo

Can we feel/taste flavours while listening to the music of Mozart, Maria Callas, BB King, or Amy Winehouse? Some people are capable of a very complex level of perception. For everyone else, artisan macaron maker Chez Dodo conjures up the world of our favourite musician legends in a limited-edition dessert collection. The gourmet sweet treat is available exclusively at Café Liszt.

  • 55 star ratingAmazing place, fantastic food and service Beautiful cafe with amazing service. The food was excellent. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed and luxurious. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the best place we ate at on the trip! They made us feel very special. The prices were really reasonable - we chose the set menu and I highly recommend it.

  • 55 star ratingThe most delicious breakfast and macarons! My friends and I sat in, first just for a coffee. He was so nice to everyone that we also ordered breakfast later. After breakfast, a gentleman in a jacket, maybe the store manager, brought us a macaron tasting. He said that they work with Chez dodo, which is a huge plus point. The hotel's flavors were especially delicious! We'll be back!

  • 5 star ratingSpecial experience at Café Liszt and Aria Hotel We went to see The Nutcracker at Aria Hotel, which was an amaizing experience. We had a few drinks and bites at Café Liszt before the show and everything was absolutely delicious. Many thanks to Sándor who made our time here a very special experience.

  • 5 star ratingLegfinomabb reggeli és macaron! A barátaimmal ültünk be, először csak egy kávéra. Annyira kedves volt mindneki, hogy később rendeltünk reggelit is. A reggeli után egy zakós úr talán az üzletvezető hozott nekünk macaron kóstolót. Elmondta, hogy a Chez dodoval dolgoznak együtt, ez hatalmas plusz pont. Nagyon finomak voltak különösen a hotel ízei! Visszatérünk !

  • 5 star ratingNice place for a morning coffee Very centrally located (right next to the Basilica). We sat outside and we were promptly welcomed by Ricsi, our server for that morning. The service was great so as were the drinks.A bit pricier than the Budapest average, but given the position and the quality of the service, I find this understandable.
