Endre Ady (famous Hungarian poet) came here at the beginning of the last century, taking a job as a newspaper writer, and during his time here he was fascinated by the bohemian nightlife of the city and impressed him. He met Léda here in 1903, in one of the iconic cafes of the time. The 26-year-old poet was immediately impressed by the Parisian woman, who was five years older than Ady. The love of the two of them left an eternal mark on the pages of the book of Hungarian poetry. Ady's favorite café is Müllerai, today it is home to the Ady Memorial Museum.
