Portobello (Coffee & Wine)
Portobello is a hip specialty coffee shop and breakfast restaurant in downtown Budapest. This pricey, high-ceilinged establishment is tucked away on a cobblestoned downtown side street, with a sleek coffee machine, blond wood, oversized windows, and a communal table dominating the polished interior.
On a recent visit, my coffee was made from beans harvested on a high-altitude farm in Rwanda and sourced from a renowned Berlin-based roastery. The slim breakfast menu, served all day, includes a granola bowl, sourdough bread piled with scrambled eggs, kale, and raclette, and a "Turkish Breakfast." Local natural wines are available for purchase and by the glass.
