The 10 best restaurants in the countryside

Budapest is not the only city in Hungary where you can have a unique dining experience and get a taste of the delicious Hungarian cuisine. Dining Guide assembled a list of the 10 best restaurants in the countryside. The competition is harder each year not only in Budapest but in the countryside as well.

Divany.hu reported on the ten best restaurants specified on Dining Guide‘s list.

Anyukám Mondta in Encs

This restaurant is run by two brothers, Szabolcs and Szilárd Dudás. Their restaurant is well-known all over the country, even though it is located in a hidden, small town in the countryside. The brothers mixed Hungarian cuisine with the gastronomical knowledge they gained in Italy and in the United States, and they created a restaurant which uses top-quality Italian ingredients but at the same time offers Hungarian classics on the menu such as fried chicken, stuffed cabbage or bean soup with sour cream.

Platán in Tata

This restaurant is run by chef István Pesti. They use quality Hungarian ingredients, and they offer such traditional dishes as hurka (a Hungarian black pudding-like sausage) or quail, but guests can also find stake and clams on the menu. They also aim to grow everything they use in their own garden.

Kistücsök in Balatonszemes

This restaurant is characterised by an honest Hungarian contemporary cuisine. It is run by Balázs Csapody who is a prominent figure in the gastronomical world of the Balaton region. The restaurant is constantly supporting and working together with local producers.

Tiszavirág in Szeged

This restaurant is said to be the very best of the Southern part of the Great Hungarian Plain. Attila Kurucz is the chef who respects Hungarian traditions and represents local values. Attila also won this year’s Innovative Kitchen award. The creatively put together menu offers a wide selection of meat dished. They pay extra attention to the serving of each food, which is always exceptionally aesthetic.
