Your evening starts with an aperitif and snacks at the Chef's Table, before you are shown through to a barrel-vaulted cellar with an open kitchen. Here, the team work with calm efficiency and meticulous precision to create a 12 course tasting menu composed of highly sophisticated dishes packed with deep, well-balanced flavours and bags of personality. The setting beneath the castle is magical; for the full experience, stay the night in one of the nearby bedrooms and make the most of their spa.
WebsitePart 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.
