Tradition and innovation, fueled by passion across generations.
Gerbeaud Gastronomy Ltd. has been a key player in Hungary’s hospitality industry for over twenty years. As a family-owned business, our mission is to preserve Hungarian gastronomic traditions while also reinterpreting them — in the language of the present and the future. We believe that the key to excellence lies in constant renewal, while always showing respect for our past and our environment.
The diversity of our establishments reflects our mission.
For over 167 years, Gerbeaud Café has been one of the most renowned and iconic venues in Hungarian hospitality and confectionery. Émile Restaurant is an elegant yet cozy meeting place on the Buda side, while the ONYX restaurant — the first in Central and Eastern Europe to earn two Michelin stars — is exploring the future of fine dining. Our Gerbeaud Catering team offers premium gastronomic solutions for comprehensive event and function services.
We are building a professional community.
We believe that long-term success is founded on open-mindedness, collaboration, and continuous development. We create an inspiring, supportive environment full of opportunities for our colleagues to grow.

Our guests get the chance to “taste” the world. They can go on an exciting taste journey on five continents of the world. Our drinks are always made from freshly roasted, repeatedly hand-sorted Arabica plantation coffee rarities. We offer seventy kinds of coffee drinks to our guests, because all the major “coffee kitchens” (Italian, French, Japanese, Arabic, American, Latin) can be found at Cafe Frei.
CAFE FREI was founded by two friends: Novelist, former TV personality and globetrotter Tamás Frei has visited more than 150 countries in recent decades. He is passionate about coffee and everything connected to it. With his more than 30-year experience, economist and food industry entrepreneur Tamás Langár supports the operation of the network from the business side. By today, we have become the largest coffee shop chain in the country.
