Gerbeaud is an iconic landmark on Vörösmarty Square. It is probably the most widely known café in
Budapest and surely one of Hungary’s most famous gastronomic assets. It is also one of Europe’s
oldest established trademarks and an example of how to go through constant renewal while preserving
traditions.

It was founded in 1858 by Hungarian pastry chef Henrik Kugler. Global fame came with
the arrival in 1884 of Swiss confectioner Émile Gerbeaud, who joined Kugler for a fruitful
collaboration that lasted decades. Surviving two world wars and multiple changes of ownership, the
place was revived as a contemporary attraction in 2010.

We are inviting our Guests for a welcome toast in the Gerbeaud Café’s Golden Salon. Then a
sparkling wine tasting will be followed by a 4-course dinner in the Atrium Event Hall, which has
been fully renovated in 2020, and has one of the most impressive atmospheres under its glass
ceiling.
