Altair Teaház Budapest

TranquilTea in Budapest

Betti from Budapest

I come from a smaller town near Budapest, and ever since I moved to the heart of the city, I have been on a mission to find the best spots for amazing coffee, delicious food, and killer views. It's become a hobby for me... I guess it is everybody's hobby, but I'm absolutely loving every minute of it nonetheless. I am an ultimate city explorer, curious about uncovering the coolest spot...
"I always go for the rose and caramel teas, which I usually accompany with a few biscuits dipped into the melted sweetness."

Sharing this place almost feels like revealing one of my grandma’s secret recipes. Altair teaház was actually discovered by an old Lithuanian friend of mine during his trip to Budapest, so the credit goes to him! It seems that for some, it takes years to uncover such hidden gems, while for others, it only takes a few days.

I must confess, every time I passed by this place on my way to a friend’s house nearby, I used to see the tea house’s weird looking wooden door from the outside and I wondered what could this be. By peeking inside I have seen some tents and some bean bags , but I really was not sure until my friend invited me to this charming tea house and since then it has been one of my favorite places.

You can’t go wrong with any tea choice here, but my personal go-tos are the rose and caramel teas, which I always accompany with a few biscuits dipped into the melted sweetness. Have a try on your way in or out to the Hungarian National Museum, which is just next door! Cheers!

Marxim Pub

Ιn the style of socialism

"Marxim Pub" in Budapest is a sort of ironic place about Hungary's socialist history. I like its heavy symbolism. They also make their own beer & pizza!

Pizza at the Railway Station

An obligatory stop

The Pizza at Budapest's Keleti Pályaudva Railway Station, next to platform nine,, is not the very best, but I always grab a filling slice when I'm around.
