Felix Kitchen & Bar
Located inside a 140-year old neo-Renaissance engine house-turned-creative community space, Felix Kitchen & Bar opens a new chapter in the tumultuous life of one of Miklós Ybl’s most beloved buildings. Named after the son of the legendary architect, Felix brings back the atmosphere of peacetime Austro-Hungary through traditional yet modern dishes and inspiring interiors at the foot of Castle Hill.

Café Marcello
The single-origin, raw Arabica coffee beans used to produce the wonderful roasts available at Café Marcello are shipped to the Frankel Leó utca venue straight from El Salvador, a country whose high-altitude landscape, temperate climate, crystal clear waters, and volcanic soil help planters grow some of the world’s finest coffees. The three coffee varieties brewed at Cafe Marcello are the Sarchimor, Pacas, and Pacamara, which are accompanied by top quality sweets, made by the best Hungarian chocolate manufacturers, as well as delicious quiches, croissants, and vegan ice creams.

nor/ma
From now on, you don’t have to board a plane to Scandinavia to taste the unmatched warmness of the cold north.

The Workshop is a private café, bar and restaurant, giving space to daytime co-working, business or private meetings and nighttime fun.
