The location couldn't be more convenient, located off of A short walk from Váci Utca, Budapest's central shopping district, where small perfumeries and local fashion brands coexist next to a glassy outpost of Marks & Spencer. It's here that you'll find the super-stylish Cyrano Restaurant on a small side street with central fountain surrounded by dressed-up ice cream shops and pizza eateries. In a city plagued by unsightly restaurant architecture, a smoked-glass façade reveals a glitzy dining room of baroque wallpaper and staff with chiseled features. The dining room fills-up around 10pm with Budapest trendsetters looking for gourmet-level cuisine in a stylish dining room not weighted down in formality.
The Food
Meals begin with a selection of soups, seafood appetizers like smoked salmon with crème fraiche and fresh goat cheese tart served on bed of arugula. Entrees vary between meat and seafood with standouts like a grilled whitefish served with spinach and savory duck breast with rich reduction served on bed of homemade gnocchi. You wouldn’t guess that the slender local population was living on a diet of goulash, but it seems to be one of the most popular entrees around and Cyrano is no different. Don’t miss the elaborate chocolate tarts and homemade cakes for dessert.
Last Word
Located off the main shopping street in central Budapest, this chic eatery and terrace café offers prime people-watching and highbrow collection of local singles who seek out its dining room for weekend dates and dinner with friends.
