Description

Situated in the heart of the Castle District, the Pierrot Café is an excellent place to stop for a bite to eat when exploring the ancient walls or visiting the many museums. It is well established and popular amongst Hungarians as well as visitors: Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith dined here when they were in town for the filming of Evita. The decor is cool and calm with cane chairs and cushions. A large grand piano dominates the front room although there is more space out the back and a few tables and chairs are placed on the pavement in front. Live music is featured in the evening and the atmosphere is laid back - this is a real haven of peace after the tourist whirl. You can sit and sip a coffee or an alcoholic drink for hours undisturbed - coffee and tea are priced at around HUF 300. Salads, crêpes and the famous Pierrot steak served with green pepper sauce are available all day. Cocktails are also good here and cost around HUF 700.
