About this spot
In District IX's Raday Street, Rétescake specializes exclusively in the city's beloved layered strudel cakes, offering a sweet escape from the savory heavyweights of Budapest dining. The menu features classic fillings like apple and cherry alongside inventive combinations such as lemon curd with ricotta, all served on house-made pastry that melts instantly at room temperature.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a slice to go immediately after purchase so the delicate layers don't collapse in your bag.
- Bring a fork or spoon; these cakes are best eaten standing up at nearby street vendors rather than sitting down.
- Ask for the 'gyümölcsös' (fruit) variety if you want a lighter option with seasonal berries instead of cream.
