Named after Hungarian writer Sándor Márai, this bistro in the heart of Košice is a quiet revival of old-world café culture - layered with a modern twist. On the ground floor, black-and-white chequered tiles meet bentwood Thonet chairs, while walls display a gallery of moments, past and present. The palette is rich and tactile: dark woods, olive green accents, and warm leather in tones of burnt orange. Grand pendant lights hover above like punctuation marks, while soft, hidden LEDs light up the arches and give the space a gentle glow. Downstairs, the mood deepens. The cellar is meant for lingering - private dinners, wine tastings, conversations that stretch past the hour. Candlelit tables and relics from another time shape an atmosphere that feels hushed, intimate, and a little untethered from the day outside. Márai Bistro doesn’t just serve food and wine; it serves memory, with elegance and quiet flair.
