Naming your new café after a cult kids TV show is always a good idea, given how much time even non-hipsters spend reminiscing about the idiot boxes of their youth. "Bob and Bobek" (above, with big floppy ears; we're not sure which is which) may not be as famous as the Transformers, but the mischievous pair of animated Czech rabbits is still remembered with enough fondness in and around Hungary that the owners of District VI's newest sleek café decided to name their joint Café BoBek.

Despite the clever name, BoBek is anything but another Budapest theme café. Co-owner Roland Török (below, with another shot of his "partners") is at pains to point out that it is also not another tumble-down hipster ghetto along the lines of nearby Szimpla kert. "We didn't want to fill the café with furniture we found on the street - we took a lot of trouble over the design," he says. "Everything you see is our own work." With the exception that is, of the eye-catching lighting, which is a friend's design school project. Being firm believers that it is the lights that make the vibe, we give whole the concept a big thumbs up.

With a great location, a real homemade feel and some characteristic rough edges, BoBek could be a winner. As for the crowd, the 70'a retro color scheme, cafeteria tables and pink couches are likely to attract all sorts, from students and businessmen with laptops (wireless internet is in the pipeline) to hair stylists on their lunch break. Add a basic menu of sandwiches, salads and low-key music - i.e. not cheesy techno or the ubiquitous junk that goes by the dubious moniker of "funky" - and the space is just small enough to pull it off. Now if only we can figure out whether in Hungarian you go BoBek-be or BoBek-ba.
