Frommer's Review

Housed in the luscious Hotel Four Seasons Gresham Palace, despite the name, this is not a coffeehouse. Not even close, and in the name of the true traditional coffeehouses and the pillars of those traditions, we even take offence to the name. That is not to say that we would not like to see a coffeehouse here, in fact, we would. This is a restaurant, and the management makes no bones about it. They even told us that is not recommended to come here simply for a coffee. Hermetically sealed as the architecture of the hotel is, this restaurant is actually the "breakfast room" for hotel guests. We tried the gooseliver here, and can say that it competes with the famed Gundel restaurants: it is served with traditional lecso and potatoes. The Argentine sirloin steak served with spinach was also excellent, as it should be. You can also find traditional fare like chicken paprikas with galuskas, spaghetti, or chicken breast or more lavish plates like a glazed duck breast served with polenta, wild mushroom, and baby onions.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
