The Coffee Mill in Yorkville is not only a credible Hungarian Restaurant, it's a fascinating cultural institution. Many of the Central European refugees from the 1950s and 1960s, including a lot of Czechs, frequented the coffee mill. There were battles between cutomers in each room, mostly accusations of espionage and infidelity.

The decor is Central European 1960s mod, and much of the food is very very good. I really do not like their salads, nor do I like having my bread buttered for me, but their goulash soup and schnitzel are fabulous.

The best thing about the restaurant are the waitresses. They are all stikingly beautiful women of a certain age. There's just something dignified and calming about them. Sorry to ramble. I love this place.

My family has been going to the Coffee Mill for about 20 years. We all love the schnitzel (including my Hungarian grandmother, who never thinks anyone makes food as well as her - and she's generally right!). Also try the goulash soup, cabbage rolls, dumplings, and for dessert, the crepes and chestnut purée.

I have been meaning to try this place myself as I have heard great reviews. The Coffee Mill in Yorkville is supposed to have great schnitzel. And the coffees and desserts are to die for, or so I hear.
