The Budapest Cafe

Bold, offbeat elements like graphic paintings, carved out stylised steps walls, and conspicuous furniture, complemented by an overall natural and earthy palette. Their menu features the essence of Asia fusion, such as Mentaiko udon, Budapest Bruschetta and a matcha hotcake mysteriously titled “Escape from the Forest” which are just begging to be devoured by hungry customers – day in, day out.

A hidden gem of Carlton, inspired by Wes Anderson’s film, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
