ARTIST COFFEE SHOP<br />

T<br />

he Artist Coffee Shop, built in 1884, is housed in a Neo-Renaissance residential building on Andrássy<br />

Road. Looking back on a past of close to 120 years, the atmosphere of the decorative coffee shop<br />

has enthralled countless artists, which is why they were inclined to visit it. It was also a regular haunt of the<br />

Kossuth Prize winning Hungarian writer Iván Mándy for many years.<br />

His place at his regular table had<br />

to be marked with a brass plate at<br />

the time, which is still there on the<br />

table today. The interior space, furnishings<br />

and the beautiful chandelier<br />

have been preserved till today,<br />

and the elegant style has been<br />

amalgamated with comfort. Ladies<br />

and gentlemen, artists and art lovers<br />

still sit at the tables today, but<br />

tourists and young people are also<br />

happy to drop in to enjoy delicacies<br />

in the unusual surroundings.<br />
