2 Best Restaurants in Győr, Hungary

This elegant Győr restaurant is widely considered one of the best in Hungary, renowned for its refined dining room—all dangling chandeliers and white tablecloths—and its distinctive dishes, which take the conventions of Hungarian cuisine and give them subtle Mediterranean twists. Think beef tenderloin strips with pappardelle and gorgonzola, or duck breast with port wine and roasted gnocchi. Everything's beautifully presented and servers are happy to help with wine pairings. Room for dessert? If it's on the menu, opt for the flódni, a traditional cake of Hungary's Jewish community that has five layers of dough filled with plum jam, walnut, poppy seed, and apple.

Probably the best burger joint in town, West Kiraly BRGR has a huge menu of perfectly grilled patties, as well as special editions like a beef brisket burger and a pulled pork burger—as well as a "beyond vegan" option. All the burgers are available in three different sizes, according to appetite, while there are also sandwiches and ciabattas available. Everything is delicious but also expensive, especially as sides like fries and coleslaw cost extra. Factor in a few drinks (choose from local wines or Czech and German beers) and you can anticipate a sizeable final bill.
