Throughout the forecast period, the performance of café/bars will remain largely shaped by independent outlets run by small businesses and entrepreneurs. Without corporate constraints, independent cafés and bars have the flexibility to experiment with innovative concepts, refine their offerings, and swiftly respond to shifting consumer preferences.
Hungarian cafés and pubs continue to blend tradition with modern convenience, with onsite consumption remaining the preferred fulfilment method. For pubs, takeaway and home delivery are generally limited to establishments with in-house kitchens offering daily menus, primarily catering to families and working professionals.
Competitions such as “Cake of Hungary”, which marked its 18th year in 2024, exemplify how independent operators can showcase their creativity in a competitive market. These events not only provide an opportunity for industry recognition but also help attract new customers, reinforcing the role of cafés as culinary trendsetters.

Cafés/Bars
This category encompasses all establishments where the focus is on drinking (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages). While a wide variety of snacks and full meals are offered, it is not uncommon for consumers to only order a drink. As a general rule, establishments deriving 50% of their income or more from the sale of drinks are included here.
