Gastronomy Above The City
Following the renovation of the Citadella, a new chapter begins in the story of one of Budapest’s most iconic tourist destinations. The renewed Citadella is one of the city’s most distinctive meeting places, where historic surroundings, breathtaking panoramic views and quality gastronomy come together to create a truly unique experience.
Our cafés welcome visitors throughout the day with a diverse selection of food and drinks, whether they are stopping by for a light breakfast, an afternoon coffee or a cocktail at sunset. The menu features freshly prepared sandwiches and grilled paninis, including breaded chicken, pulled pork, caprese, and ham and mozzarella options, alongside a selection of traditional Hungarian and contemporary desserts. Highlights include Kossuth crescents, Rákóczi-style cottage cheese cake, Hungarian “Lúdláb” chocolate cake, as well as sugar-free creations featuring velvety raspberry, Dubai chocolate, and salted caramel with peanuts.
The drinks menu includes a carefully curated selection of white, red, rosé and dessert wines from Hungarian wineries, premium sparkling wines and champagnes, Hungarian fruit brandies, and distinctive cocktails, including the Citadella’s signature Liberty Spritz. Guests can also choose from quality coffees, loose-leaf teas, homemade lemonades and refreshing soft drinks. A selection of craft beers, available both on tap and by the bottle, completes the offering, ensuring there is something special for every time of day and every occasion.
The sweet selection at the Citadella is centred around traditional Hungarian chimney cakes, prepared according to an egg-free recipe. Alongside the classic vanilla and cinnamon varieties, walnut and cocoa flavours are also available. For a refreshing treat, guests can enjoy artisan ice creams created from premium ingredients, with distinctive flavours such as Belgian dark chocolate, pistachio and a special creation inspired by the traditional Hungarian Gerbeaud cake. Those with an extra-sweet tooth can complete the experience with a chimney cake filled with refreshing ice cream or smooth hazelnut cream.
