Overview

Eklektika has been open for just a short while but has established itself in Budapest's vibrant café scene with art exhibitions and crazy furniture you can purchase. Manager Agnes Preisburger has created a friendly, arty atmosphere and her knowledge of the food and wine business has paid off with unusually high-quality Hungarian wines available and a Mediterranean-inspired menu. A former bank has been gutted and the vaulted ceilings provide an almost religious feeling of calm. Exhibitions of colourful paintings or black and white photography adorn the walls. The clientele is young, arty and alternative. An upright piano in the corner awaits those who want to tinkle the ivories-the emphasis is on feeling right at home. The menu includes pasta, grilled turkey and toasted sandwiches.
