2 Best Restaurants in Hungary

This modern European bistro is considered one of Hungary's best restaurants, so it's well worth the 25-minute walk from the lakeside. The stylish, stripped-back interior—all exposed brick walls, wooden-beamed ceilings, and distressed leather chairs—makes the perfect setting for a culinary adventure. Chef Balázs Elek offers a succinct à la carte menu that changes with the seasons, as well as a comparatively good value five-course tasting menu (21,800 HUF). Dishes might include duck leg with potato gratin, tomato fish stew, and beef cheek with forest mushrooms. The menu suggests wines to complement each dish, but there's an extensive list with many more if you prefer to choose your own.

Billing itself as a breakfast and coffee specialist, Reggeli serves a nutritious and delicious brunch menu every day from 8 am to 3 pm. Order a coffee or cold-press juice then take your pick from the lengthy, egg-heavy menu, which includes American pancakes, French toast, and English breakfasts. As you await your order, take a moment to soak up in the achingly hip interior, including the exposed brick ceiling, pressed wood-chip paneling, colorful chairs, quirky artworks, and giant tropical plants.
