Mlyn Penzion & Wellness

Part of the Platán complex – which also includes a hotel and spa – this charming bistro sits within the same historic castle outbuilding as Two Michelin Starred Platán Gourmet. It has a pleasingly relaxed, contemporary style, and in the corner is a small shop selling desserts and ice cream. In summer you can dine beneath the branches of a 230-year-old sycamore tree on a charming stepped terrace which borders the lake. The concise menu sees robust Hungarian dishes given a refined bistro-style makeover while still staying true to their roots. Service is fittingly warm and chatty.

A pastel blue townhouse plays host to this series of intimate, elegant dining rooms, but many favour a spot in the striking glass-enclosed terrace overlooking the street. The multi-course menu opens with dishes inspired by the chef’s global travels, before moving on to offer refined versions of more local recipes. Beautifully presented, wonderfully flavoured Hungarian produce might include Danube salmon – accompanied by caviar, butter sauce and dill – or aged Mangalitsa ham with white asparagus, morels and chervil. Charming service and an impressive wine cellar add to the experience, as do the

It’s all in the name at this sustainably led restaurant. The climb up the steep, narrow lane to the two-hectare estate results in breathtaking Danube Bend views, which become all the more special at sunset. The kitchen follows a ‘slow food’ ethos; ingredients from their nearby farm and the local area underpin the cooking, and menus evolve twice a day as new produce arrives. Dishes are fresh, unfussy and vibrantly flavoured – come for the ‘Spontaneous Bistro Lunch’ or the tasting menu at dinner. An overnight stay is a must, with the holistic experience also including a sauna and wellness centre
