Tucked in the old town of Pest on "university square" (Egyetem Tér) sits Cafe Alibi. The staff is welcoming and friendly, the prices allow for the locals, students, and the travelers to mix, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Free wifi lets you download the latest books to your kindle or check your email, the great coffee, desserts, or well-done meals... More

Cafe Alibi is the kind of place where you can go for a nice dinner or work on your lap top and have a coffee or glass of wine. It's in an area with lots of students, tourists and locals, and all seem to end up at the Alibi. The coffee is really good here, as is the mushroom goulash... More

Had a really nice lunch here today (then went 2mins round corner for a hot choc at BARBar). Lunch was great, reasonably priced, although not cheap but really cosy little cafe/restaurant. Recommended.

Always a must for breakfast when I'm in Budapest, the French toast is totally the best with crispy bacon and maple syrup. Great coffee and friendly waiters. Pat (Dublin)

After my last post about café Alibi, I decided to give it another shot during a recent visit to Budapest. And I’m glad I did. The service was efficient and attentive without being obtrusive; the food was superb. This café really excels in winter as it creates a very cosy atmosphere. I visited here on three successive days and each... More

A real nice atmosphere! Service is great, and food original. A place to go for lunch or for a caffe latte with a friend!
