Building
At the turn of the 20th century, the famous Café Seemann operated on the site as a favourite rendezvous for opera and theatre-goers. Later the premises were occupied by a bank and then by the Opera's ticket office.
Callas Café presents natural and harmonious sight at Andrássy road directly the Opera House - not by chance. The Art Deco styled cafe was opened in 2006; suggests in the same time the enthralling gracefulness of the Opera House and opposite with this: the inward, informal, friendly atmosphere.
The entire building is a protected structure. In 2006, the historic cafe was reborn in accordance with the plans of the world-famous designer David Collins.
Atmosphere
Pass in front of the building, the sight immediately fascinates visitors. For the first sight they are unable to decide what is waiting for them inside: huge, with "Zsolnay" styled, laced inlays, monumental space; or nice, romantic, cosiness zigzags?
The question is right, pretty well it's impossible to mix two atmospheres. All the same Callas Café ensures a perfect premise for important business conversations, accords the milieu for romantic dinners, and also hurrying tourists gladly take a rest for a coffee and pastry.
Assortment of dishes and beverages
Callas Café offers traditional European grand café and French bistro dishes from breakfast till late dinner. Next to international, mainly French, day after day varying dish specialities, the traditional Hungarian meals can be also found, like: beef (filet) goulash soup, veal paprika stew (with sheep-curd pastry and dill) or Hungarian steak with goose-liver (Hungarian-style potatoes with green pepper and tomatoes). Our daily menu always offers dishes made from the freshest stock; the chef composes it according to current trends. We suggest our own 16-20 sorts of home-made confectionery or rather dessert specialities, like the worldwide famous "Somló noodles" (sponge cake with chocolate custard, nuts and whipped cream). We serve wide assortment of domestic and foreign wines beside our courses.
