Lumen Café

Budapest


This enormous venue with multiple rooms, including covered and open courtyards facing a huge brick smoke stack of what was once a pipe factory, does breakfast (1250Ft to 1950Ft), sandwiches and more elaborate mains (1450Ft to 2650Ft). But come here mostly to drink and listen to music (traditional and experimental jazz, pop, world) from 8pm Tuesday to Saturday.

The Lumen Kávézó, a small cafe with terrace seating, is a short distance to the southwest.
