TOP RESTAURANTS OUTSIDE BUDAPEST: WESTERN-HUNGARY
Think outside of Budapest! Are you heading towards the western
part of Hungary, especially Lake Balaton? Then these are the restaurants that you should definitely try
on your way! All of them are listed among the top restaurants in Hungary. We've
had the chance to try most of them, so we can give you first-hand
recommendation about these really amazing places.
BALATONSZEMES
 |
| Appetizer: duck liver with peach compote |
Kistücsök Restaurant is located in Balatonszemes at Lake Balaton, about 130 kms away from Budapest, you can easily get there by train or by car.
They have been around for over 20 years and have become one of the top restaurants in Hungary.
As the area is rich in many raw materials, the owner of Kistücsök puts great emphasis on using these ingredients in their meals. Also, they offer a wide variety of wines from the best winemakers of the area.
They have a sunny outside area, where you should sit in the Summertime, this way you can not only enjoy the food and wine but also the nice breeze that comes from Lake Balaton.
After your nice lunch or dinner, don't forget to take a walk at the lake, which is within 5 minutes walk from the restaurant.
Opening hours: Everyday between 11 am - 11 pm
Get the Kistücsök feeling by watching their introduction video.
SZÉKESFEHÉRVÁR
67 Restaurant & Bistro is located in Székesfehérvár, which is
about 70kms away from Budapest, on the way to Lake Balaton. The owners of the restaurant
were all born in 1967, so they simply named their place 67.
Unfortunately their website is only in Hungarian, but the pictures of their meals should be
enough to convince you to take the trip!
Not to mention that they are among the TOP 10 countryside
restaurants of Hungary.
For more mouthwatering pictures please find them on Facebook and Foursquare!
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday between 11:30 am - 11:30 pm
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday between 11:30 am - 11:30 pm
Exact address: 8000 Székesfehérvár, 1-3 Jókai Street
KÖVESKÁL
 |
| cottage style open-air bar for bikers and walkers |
If you are in the Uplands of Lake Balaton, we suggest to stop in Köveskál. There are
two places that you should visit. But first of all, you should arrive very
hungry, as your first place to visit should be the KerékBár which is an open-air place mainly for
bikers, but obviously it is ok to simply walk in there.
We recommend to take a minute (or more) to
look around, as the view is really stunning from here. Also, if you haven't
tried fröccs (white wine or rose mixed with club soda) yet, it's the perfect time for it along with a slice of bread with
fat and red onion! Yes, this is what you should eat as an appetizer once you
are there. We guarantee that you will love it!

Now you can head to one of the best restaurants in Hungary which is located in about 5 minutes walking distance.
KŐVIRÁG RESTAURANT
Another country-style restaurant that offers traditional Hungarian
and international dishes. They have a really beautiful interior design, buti n the
summertime we recommend to sit outside. It really feels like you were soemhere
else in a Mediterranean countryside. The dishes are amazingly delicious, the
staff is kind and the environment is simply stunning.
