Traveler's tips
If you end up waking late, consider going out for brunch. There's a beautiful breakfast restaurant called Á la Maison, about 4 minutes away on foot from Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest. This place is a haven if you partied all night and now you're looking for some comfort food to get rid of the hangover. Choose from the variety of breakfast options offered here, including but not limited to Hungarian French Toast, Strawberry Waffles, and specialty Breakfast Plates. The last time I went here, I had ordered their New York Breakfast Plate, which was pretty decent. You could consider trying out their sourdough bread, eggs benedict, and blueberry pancake on the menu.
