Muskátli vendéglő
Named for the bright red and pink flowers lining its windowsills, the Geranium Restaurant is a cozy little eatery on Hollókő's main street. It's a great stop for quick and tasty lunches, with specialties including palócgulyás (a rich local goulash thick with chunks of pork, potatoes, and carrots) and nógrádi palócpecsenye (pork cutlets bathed in mustard-garlic sauce). The portions can be huge, but the traditionally dressed waitstaff are always happy to wrap up any leftovers. The time-honored Hungarian decor, from red benches to checked tablecloths, adds to the authenticity of the experience.
