Café Csiga

Budapest


The 'Snail Cafe' is a very popular, welcoming place alongside the Rákóczi tér market. The relaxed space on two levels, with battered wooden floorboards, copious plants and wide-open doors on sunny days, attracts a hipster crowd. It does food, too, including lots of veggie options (salads from 2490Ft), breakfast (1090Ft to 1890Ft) and an excellent set lunch for 1300Ft.
