CITADELLA CAFÉ
The Citadella Café, located at the highest point of Gellért Hill, right next to the fortress walls, welcomes those who wish to enjoy Budapest’s most beautiful panorama in a relaxed yet stylish bar atmosphere. The spacious, sunlit terrace is the perfect place to unwind, with a focus on quality sparkling wines, a curated selection of the best Hungarian wine regions, and a premium drink offering. Whether it’s a chilled Budapest Sparkling Wine, an elegant Sauska sparkling wine, or the house signature cocktail, the Liberty Spritz, the experience above the city becomes truly complete.
The gastronomic experience is elevated by the café’s All Day Brunch concept, with comfortable terrace seating also available.
The offer at Citadella Café features freshly prepared sandwiches and grilled paninis. Guests can choose from a crispy breaded chicken baguette or a tender pulled pork baguette, while lighter options include homemade egg salad and traditional Hungarian cottage cheese spread sandwiches. Lovers of warm dishes can also enjoy a classic Caprese panini or a ham and mozzarella panini.
The sweet selection ranges from traditional Hungarian favorites to contemporary desserts. Guests can indulge in Kossuth crescent pastries, Rákóczi cottage cheese cake, and the classic Lúdláb chocolate cake slice, alongside modern creations such as the Velvety Raspberry slice, Dubai Chocolate slice, and Salted Caramel & Peanut slice. The Citadella Café is where café elegance and a vibrant terrace atmosphere meet high above the city.
