Price range: S$3 - S$9
Cuisines: Café
Good for: Romantic
Description: Located in the most peaceful part of District V in a small side streetof Vaci utca (Papnövelde utca 3.), BARbár Café & Chocolate is THE BEST chocolateria in this town! The owners, a young couple named Viki and Tomi are very enthusiastic about the cafe and their aim is to make the guests utterly at home and relaxed in their café.The philosophy behind it is: using only high-quality ingredients for the preparation of coffees, lemonades and chocolates. For the chocolate drinks they buy real Belgian Callebaut chocolate (dark 70%,milk 47% or white 28% chocolate pastilles and not powder that is suedin most other Budapest cafes). The freshly made lemonade drinks (in ajam jar) are very refreshing on a sultry summer day. You can also have snacks, should you feel peckish: toast sandwiches(try the spiced ham toast with mustard and cheese) with various spreads (aubergine spread, Italian pesto, spiced tomato cream). Bar Cafe has laid-back atmosphere with warm colors and creative furnishing (refurbished Singer sewing machines serve as tables).

Went there not two weeks ago on an afternoon. Cozy place with 2 levels and a great atmosphere, nice music and of course the obvious such as Wi-Fi. Very very friendly owner gave more info (friendly waiters in Budapest are an exception) and provided us with hot chocolate for my wife and chocolate with chili for me. Thanks to the... More

Lovely place, with real chocolate! Here the hot chocolates have all the ingredient needed, they are dense and delicious. The place is in the heart of Budapest, with a nice atmosphere, a good place to get some warm drink in a winter day or refresh in a summer day. In summer they have special lemonades, that are served in big... More

Tried your lemonade flavoured with cherry and loved it so much. It tastes exactly how fresh lemonade should taste. That flavour absolutely delicious! I liked also the shape of your lemonades' bottle, that's unique. Can't wait to get some more.

If you visit Budapest you must go to BARbár Cafe! We have been there on a hot summer day and our friends led us there. The street is in the heart of Budapest, near to Vaci street which is mainly for us, tourists. But this place show you the real Budapest: nice, romantic, cobblestone streets; people sitting outside, talking and... More

Worth to go there not just in the wintertime, they make the same quality of chocolate also cold! We had a nice cold chocolate drink with home made fruity chocolate ice-cream - white chocolate ice-cream with strawberry, the other one with sour cherry, with cold liquid chocolate, and some whipped cream on the top, certainly. The lemonade in the jam... More

I have been to BARbar a week ago with my girlfriend on a hot Spring day, longing for a good chilled drink, and BARbar was the perfect spot! It is literally in the city centre close to all main junctions but still in a calm, quiet street, hidden away from "touristy" crowded places. The atmosphere is outstanding, the place is... More
