Café Ponyvaregény

Budapest


The 'Pulp Fiction' is a quirky little basement cafe that has a loyal following despite all the competition in this part of south Buda. The old books and fringed lampshades are a nice touch, and the coffee (350Ft to 660Ft) is excellent. The sketch pads and pencils on the tables are a nice touch.
