FINE DINING EXPERIENCE

Á LA CARTE

The menu offers classic Hungarian and international dishes in a modern, creative presentation. The menu changes seasonally to ensure that fresh and quality ingredients are always used

Our unquenchable passion for BOOKS AND GASTRONOMY has given rise to this restaurant, where we can indulge both our passions. In addition to a traditional menu and an excellent selection of drinks, we offer a selection of book-inspired dishes that change every few weeks.

Come and visit us and we'll show you what food is like for us in books!

When reading a good piece of writing, have you ever felt the flavour of the food in your mouth? Have you ever wanted to taste Harry Potter's pumpkin ale or butterbeer? Want to know what Fifty Shades of Grey tastes like? Have you ever wondered what Pooh or Piglet might have eaten, and wondered what food might be like in The Thorn Blossom, Animal Farm or István Örkény's One Minute Men?

It turns out that the library cafeteria is always like the kitchen at a house party: it's where things happen. Or that a restaurant is the perfect place for an editorial meeting, and shoelaces are edible.
