Portobello (Coffee & Wine)

Budapest has plenty of specialty coffee shops, several cool wine bars, and an increasing number of hip breakfast restaurants, but the tiny Portobello is the first that triples as all three at once. 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. This might sound high-minded, but the batch brew was deeply flavorful (and pricey, too). Of the slim breakfast menu, served all day, I most enjoyed the granola bowl, the sourdough bread piled with scrambled eggs, kale, and raclette, and the "Turkish Breakfast." Local natural wines are also available, both to purchase and to order by the glass.
