The most beautiful gift you can give a brunch lover: a private breakfast overlooking the New York Café
The New York Café often described as one of the most beautiful cafés in the world, sits inside the Anantara New York Palace Hotel. The very best view of this legendary space opens from the hotel’s upper floor, on the White Salon gallery. Even during the day, it’s a sought-after spot: many guests book a table at the hotel restaurant just to enjoy the view from here. There’s even a famous corner where those social-media-favorite photos are taken.
This is where the Private Breakfast experience takes place.
They cordon off the most beautiful part of the gallery — and only your table remains there. No other guests are allowed during this time, so you can enjoy breakfast for two above one of Budapest’s most renowned cafés.
Private service and full attention
A dedicated waiter looks after you throughout your entire stay. There’s no queueing, no buffet. Several small side tables are set up around yours, so the cold and hot dishes can be served comfortably and elegantly.
Your waiter helps you choose, recommends drinks, and makes sure each course arrives at just the right moment. And yes — the chef also stops by to personally introduce the highlights of the menu.
The first part features cold dishes, with a strong emphasis on high-quality, local ingredients.
Expect artisanal Balaton cheese from Vászoly, goat cheese from Etyek, grey cattle salami from Szomor, alongside selected cured meats, fresh vegetables and seasonal fruits. Then come Anantara’s bakery specialties and pastries: breads, butter croissants, kanelbulle, cocoa and walnut rolls, poppy-seed pillows, passion fruit muffins and chocolate muffins.
This alone would count as a complete breakfast in many places — here, it’s just the beginning.
Hungarian favorites and international classics
The second part brings dishes that could easily stand on their own as a generous brunch. The chef presents them personally, and you can ask for your preferred variations.
Warm dishes include both Hungarian specialties and international classics. On the sweet side, there’s the traditional cottage-cheese crêpe with vanilla cream and strawberry purée; among the global favorites, the freshly baked, crisp waffles with mascarpone, maple syrup and fruit.
Full menu of à la carte dishes
- Parma ham with melon
- Omelette with duck liver and truffle
- Eggs Benedict with your choice of topping (bacon, smoked salmon, salmon caviar)
- Cottage-cheese crêpe with vanilla cream and strawberry purée
- Waffles with fresh fruit, mascarpone and maple syrup
- Granola with yogurt and fruit
The selection is so wide you couldn’t possibly try everything in one morning — but this abundance is exactly what makes the experience so memorable.
Why this experience is special — and who it’s perfect for
Sitting on the gallery is already a treat in itself. The private breakfast elevates this to something even more intimate, more comfortable, and attentive down to the smallest detail.
That’s why it makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves brunch, extraordinary settings, great food — or simply deserves a morning that’s nothing like an ordinary day.
