We Love Budapest
“Bistro. Homemade flavors. In a world saturated with clichés that describe every other restaurant, there comes a moment when someone truly grasps and embraces these concepts. That someone then crafts a space where patrons feel like they’re stepping into a friend’s home, where every guest receives a warm welcome, and leaving with a frown is simply impossible.”

“It’s cozy for a family—intimate, without an army of servers. The menu isn’t extensive. It’s a uniquely charming place that might catch your eye even if you’re just strolling around, inviting you to take a peek after a leisurely moment.”

McDaniel
„Grumpy is a little, two-storey café & restaurant in the heart of Budapest’s gastro hub of District 7, which stands out with its superb service and cosy atmosphere. The menu is as eclectic as the city itself, with options for breakfast, brunch, tapas and dinner, from a mix of cuisine from Hungary to France. In Grumpy, there is something for everyone and everyone is invited.”
