Cafe Bergman

Lake Balaton & Southern Transdanubia


Ignore the lakeside ice-cream stands and head uphill to this elegant cafe for scoops of the best ice cream in town (including local favourite, poppy-seed ice cream). Located on a quiet street, this is a relaxing escape from the crowds and has a lovely tree-shaded exterior terrace. In addition, it offers a handsome selection of cakes and sandwiches.
