We are a new wave Budapest caf\u00e9 and bar next to the Parliament, where international coffee culture and Hungarian gastronomy naturally meet. In addition to specialty coffee and modern brunch, a good homemade goulash soup is just as self-evident as carefully selected Hungarian wines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Budapest coffeehouse culture \u2014 today<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Budapest's coffeehouse culture is world-famous \u2014 but what's really interesting is not the past, but how this tradition lives on today. The spirit of the great coffeehouses of the turn of the century \u2014 the long conversations, the slow afternoons, the meeting place \u2014 returns in a new form in the city's specialty cafes, which combine the classic coffeehouse atmosphere with the sophistication of modern coffee culture.<\/p>

Sm\u00faz is part of this new wave. We are not trying to copy the old big coffee houses, but we are carrying on the same basic idea: creating a place where it is worth sitting, spending time, talking \u2014 only now complemented by the natural meeting of carefully brewed specialty coffee and Hungarian flavors. The proximity to the Parliament, the relaxed terrace atmosphere and the attentive service all serve this experience: not a rushed tourist cafe, but a place you long to return to.<\/p>

While writers and thinkers used to sit for hours over a black coffee in the old coffee houses, today our terraces are more populated by freelancers using laptops, chatting friends, and visitors exploring the city \u2014 but the basic experience is the same: time, space, and good coffee to stop for a moment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hungarian classics on our menu<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition to international brunch dishes, our menu also includes two true Hungarian classics: traditional goulash soup and chicken paprikash \u2014 both made daily, based on homemade recipes. Craving something sweet? Homemade apple strudel with fresh vanilla ice cream is one of the most beloved pieces of Hungarian pastry tradition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hungarian wines, from several wine regions<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our wine list, in addition to international items, features the best of Hungarian wine regions: dry and sweet wines from the Holdv\u00f6lgy winery in Tokaj (including a classic Szamorodni), Heimann Merlot from Szeksz\u00e1rd, and Kreinbacher sparkling wine from Soml\u00f3. If you prefer a stronger drink, we also offer Unicum and domestic p\u00e1linka \u2014 from sour cherry to peach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hospitality and the experience of sharing a table<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The essence of Hungarian hospitality is that a meal is rarely just a meal \u2014 it\u2019s more of an opportunity to spend time together. This attitude is also felt on the terrace of Sm\u00faz: goulash soup or chicken paprikash are not quick bites, but dishes worth eating slowly, with conversation, just as we would do at home.<\/p>

Many of our guests say they spend longer with us than they originally planned \u2014 and that's exactly what we strive for. Our goal is not to serve you as quickly as possible, but to give you time to sit down, taste, and experience the real Budapest atmosphere, whether over a coffee or a glass of Hungarian wine. If you come in a group, the goulash soup and chicken paprikash are also great to share \u2014 just like you would at a Hungarian family table.<\/p>

The view of the Parliament from our terrace also contributes to this experience \u2014 not a rush, but a moment to pause, where conversation is at least as important as the food.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
