Gastronomy

A special love story: an unconventional encounter, intertwined by more and more threads; or rather, more stylishly, roots.

How did an entire pine forest get to the sand in Nyirség, where acacia thrives best? And how was the idea born to build a hotel and restaurant in the middle of this 1300-hectare forest?

What is wine tasting about? It is, as with everything else, about personal adventure. We set out on a trip by UAZ with Miklós Kocsis in the wine region of Sopron, so as to gain vicarious experience.

A few places have also opened in Sopron, where young owners with a firm commitment to quality have targeted a more specialized segment of gastronomy.

Relics reminiscent of the sweetest moments of our childhood, and genuine Italian la dolce vita: it is waiting for us in the Pavilion of Balatonboglár.

There is nothing more refreshing than sipping our well-deserved, ice-cold wine spritzer after a pleasant bike ride, while a beautiful panorama of Lake Balaton opens before us.

Köveskál is probably the most popular tourist destination in the Káli Basin, thanks to the commitment to the quality of the local hosts and the beauty of the place.

The Valley of The Beautiful Woman has become a wine district in its favour, from small producers to top wineries.

Most of us visit Tokaj-Hegyalja because of the brilliant dry wines and sweet Tokaji. After cellar tours or right before a long way the need for a suitable coffee is certainly a legitimate expectation.

Global crisis, the beginning of claustrophobia and the hand of fate were needed for Mihály Zichy to bring the Japanese’s national treasure, Wagyu cattle to Hungary.

Zoltán Benkő considered a career change, but luckily for the residents in Pécs, he found his way back to gastronomy, more precisely to “Morzsa” (Crumb), a new wave Nordic-style sourdough bakery.

If you are tired of the sweet and dry Tokaj wines and the Furmint sparkling wines in Hegyalja cannot astonish you anymore, there is still something better coming around the corner.

You can taste the wines produced in the Sopron wine region even in the city centre; the selection of places here includes specialities from vintners and wineries in Sopron.

Bodri Winery has gained a national reputation. In addition to their wines, which represent the characteristics of the Szekszárd wine region, they offer accommodation and an excellence restaurant.

In the Lake Tisza area, one of the most popular inland tourist destinations, there are a growing number of exciting restaurants and eateries.

Plum is one of the most popular Hungarian fruits. But how does it become a jungle, and why did it get the name “Idon’tknow”?

The Őrség is one of Hungary's most popular rural, nature-oriented destinations. Its slopes are also worth a slow cycle ride, so as not to miss any of the local wonders.

In our fast-paced world, we can sometimes feel we have no time for anything, rushing from one place to another, from one task to another. It's often the food that suffers the most from this lifestyle.

Syrup can be made from almost any kind of fruit or herb, and the producers at Lake Balaton prove it: it would be hard to imagine a more colourful offering.

In the centre of Veszprém, in a small alley the smell of freshly baked bread entices you to enter the ‘Derce Pékbisztró’ (Derce Baker’s Bistro).

The Govinda in Eger is not just one of the most popular diners and spiritual centres of the city, but the restaurant which has been open for the longest time in Hungary.

The Marján patisserie located at the foot of the Eger castle has been pampering its guests with undiminished quality, fastidiousness and upholding family traditions for a quarter of a century.
