About Us
The Central Grand Café & Bar is the iconic heir to Budapest’s coffeehouse culture, where 19th-century elegance meets modern gastronomy. It is both a classic grand café and a contemporary restaurant, offering a refined experience from morning until late at night, whether for brunch, dinner, or cocktails. Its unique charm comes from its historic setting, high-quality cuisine, and vibrant yet timeless atmosphere.

Professional Creed
My commitment to the hospitality industry began at a very young age; my grandfather worked as a waiter, and that’s where my love and respect for the profession come from. I eventually earned my degree from the College of Commerce and Hospitality, which provided a solid professional foundation for my career. I started working for the group in 2013, where I’ve had the opportunity to work my way up the ranks over the years. I’m proud that I worked my way up from the bottom and gained valuable experience in every position, which continues to shape my approach today.
I believe in teamwork, the power of the team, quality, and honest communication. I am loyal, resilient, and a perfectionist, motivated by major challenges and continuous progress and growth. As a leader, I provide support and opportunities for growth to my colleagues.
I am proud of my team and of the successes we have achieved together, as well as the countless different events we have organized—from the smallest high-profile protocol events to corporate galas attended by thousands of people.
