Baricska Csárda

Lake Balaton & Southern Transdanubia


If you are going to eat typical Hungarian fare, let it be here, under the trellises covered in creeping vines and among the vineyards. The setting is particularly magical in the evenings, and the dishes – paprika catfish with cottage cheese noodles, smoked duck breast with red cabbage and other Hungarian classics – are beautifully presented. There's an extensive list of Balaton wines.

Live Gypsy music Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.
