If I hear the word "cozy", my mind automatically thinks about Zsivágó. This cafè is like seeing a bright, warm window when you are outside and it's heavily snowing. The first time I entered here I couldn't believe my eyes: I was inside a Russian novel and not just one, but one of my favourites! I love to sit and write here; the atmosphere is hard to find anywhere else. Tablecloths, pictures, furniture, fine pottery, it's all exquisite, but the most unique aspect is the structure of the two-storey café itself.
If the ground floor resembles a big living room, from upstairs you can enjoy the view over the entrance, or even sit in your own little little room with a sofa. I like to come here with my friends and sit together while writing, reading or having a heartfelt conversation.
My favorite drink here is this delicious tea called "Lélekmelegítő", literally "soul warmer".
