Looking for a unique way to spend a summer morning in Budapest? The Crowne Plaza Budapest is hosting one of the city’s most stylish weekend brunch experiences – and it’s all happening high above the bustling streets, in a lush rooftop garden you probably never knew existed. This hidden green oasis, dotted with fragrant quince trees and cosy picnic tents, sets the stage for a glam picnic – a fully prepared, elegant brunch experience where all you need to do is show up, relax and have fun. Sounds dreamy? It is. You can book your spot every weekend until 31 August, but before you do, here’s a sneak peek of what to expect when you trade the city noise for a calm, leafy escape above it all.

As soon as you step into the groomed rooftop garden at Crowne Plaza Budapest, it’s hard to believe you’re still in the city centre. Only the beautiful Nyugati Railway Station and the surrounding rooftops give it away – everything else is peaceful, green and surprisingly quiet. It’s the perfect backdrop for a relaxed, glam picnic experience.

So, what exactly is a glam picnic?

Think of it as a picnic without the hassle – no packing, no hauling, no prepping and no awkward balancing of snacks on a blanket. The team has done all the work for you. Beautiful picnic islands are fully set up in advance, complete with blankets, cushions, chic table settings and pretty décor. Shady tents and trees keep things cool, so you can enjoy your morning in comfort, even on warm summer days.

Mimosa bar meets breakfast favourites

IF YOU NEED A KICKSTART TO YOUR WEEKEND, YOU’LL LOVE THE DIY MIMOSA AND BLOODY MARY STATION, WHERE YOU CAN MIX YOUR OWN TO TASTE. AND DON’T MISS THE BÁNYAI COFFEE CORNER, WHERE BARISTAS WHIP UP SPECIALTY COFFEE USING BEANS SOURCED FROM A COSTA RICA-BASED FARM RUN BY A HUNGARIAN FAMILY.

 

When it comes to food, you’ve got two options: choose the buffet breakfast, and help yourself to a wide range of goodies, from flaky pastries and house-made jams to healthy bites, fresh fruit and warm local favourites. Expect more than your standard hotel buffet – everything is locally sourced, fresh and thoughtfully presented. There’s even a special kid-friendly buffet station at a lower height for little brunchers.

Prefer to order off the menu? Go for the à la carte option and choose from dishes like Hungarian-style ratatouille with eggs, eggs Benedict with grilled tomatoes, avocado toast with poached eggs, or a maple syrup-drenched waffle with fresh fruit. The best part? If you go à la carte, you’re still welcome to graze from the buffet, too.

Perfect for friends, families or a romantic date

Each picnic island can be booked for 90 minutes, giving you plenty of time to unwind, and once your time's up, you’re welcome to stay on the terrace or head inside and enjoy the brunch until 1pm. Islands are ideal for 2 to 4 guests, with room to expand up to 6 if needed. For larger groups, seating is available at regular tables – just be sure to mention group size when booking.

Whether you're planning a girly brunch, a family breakfast or a romantic rooftop date, the glam picnic hits all the right notes. Bonus: kids under 3 eat for free, and those under 12 get a 50% discount. Small, well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome too (just mention them when reserving!).
