Kőleves, situated on the ruin pub-heavy Kazinczy Street, looks and tastes like a dime-a-dozen restaurant, but right behind mediocrity there's a true downtown treasure, a chilled open-air nook called Kőleves Garden. During the warmer months, university students and romancing couples frequent this silent shelter, where you can sit down on one of the colorful chairs or the swings swaying at the counter, though the tiny pebbles covering the ground might sneak into your slippers.

8 Bródy Sándor u.The Museum of Applied Arts was founded in 1872, and the building was finished in 1896, in time for Millennial celebrations. Even Franz Joseph I visited the building, but he expressed his dislike of the architectural style. The masterpiece designed by Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos houses a museum and a school. The ornamentation displays the influence of Hungarian folk art as well as Asian and Persian elements. The largest and most central hall of the museum reveals an intimate connection to Indian art. The façade and the roof are decorated with Zsolnay tiles. The good news is, the reconstruction designs for the somewhat dilapidated museum are ready, and related works might soon begin. As part of this, the steeple that was removed for safety reasons will be replaced.
