Rengeteg was one of the first places I discovered after moving to Budapest. Back then, it was tucked away in a small basement behind a shabby red iron door on Tűzoltó Street. Now, however, it has found a spacious new home, allowing more people to enjoy the particular atmosphere its owner has created.
Rengeteg is a cozy dreamworld with very old, strange furniture, tons of teddy bears, and calm French music in the background. Do not look for a menu with all the options you can choose from; there is no such thing here; the owner or the bartender will sit down with you for a bit and tell you how you can ask for anything you can imagine, well, with chocolate.
It’s good to know in advance, however, that making the chocolate usually takes a longer while — it’s a slow process for perfection, so I only come here when I have the time. While waiting, I love to dive into the old objects and toys of endless variety you can find all around the place.
If you go there on a cold day at the busiest times, it may be a good idea to reserve a table for yourselves (you can write them a text message), as the Rengeteg has become popular over the years. As it is also a one-man business, the opening hours are sometimes tricky, so it’s better to check their Facebook page before heading out.
