Cabrio
A modern European bistro in the heart of Budapest, where natural wines and seasonal, locally sourced ingredients come together.
Cabrio is not just a bistro but a culinary experience hub where seasonal dishes made from local ingredients meet a passion for natural wines. The bistro's owners – Edit Almás, Tamás Albrecht, and the Bar Bizarre team – emphasize community experiences, a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere, and dishes crafted from high-quality ingredients. Modern European cuisine and a distinctive ambiance make Cabrio a unique highlight of Budapest's culinary scene.
Seasonal dishes made with local ingredients
Cabrio's kitchen operates under the leadership of Chef Tamás Albrecht, who reimagines simple yet high-quality ingredients in creative ways. The menu is built around the "small plate" concept, encouraging guests to try multiple dishes and share the joy of flavors. Changing weekly, the menu adapts to seasonal ingredients and the availability of fresh produce, ensuring every visit offers something new.
Specialties include dishes like roasted carrots with mint honey and ajoblanco, burnt celery with walnut vinaigrette, and a modern take on retro deviled eggs with feta cream. Creativity and harmony of flavors are evident in every dish.
Reviving a forgotten space
Cabrio is located in a historic setting on the charming Kamermayer Károly Square in Budapest's 5th district. Situated in a space that once stood empty for years, the bistro has brought new life to the area, giving a fresh purpose to a forgotten spot. The interior blends modern and nostalgic, combining the decadent ambiance of post-war Paris with the refined simplicity of European bistros. Candlelit lighting and thoughtfully designed spaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The bistro’s philosophy is straightforward yet profound: blending high-quality ingredients, genuine connections, and thoughtful simplicity in a friendly yet elegant environment. Cabrio always welcomes you with open arms, whether it’s a casual dinner with friends or an evening spent over a glass of wine.
