Veszprém

Veszprém is one of Hungary's oldest urban areas and holds county rights, serving as the administrative center of Veszprém County. Located approximately 15 km north of Lake Balaton, it offers a strategic base for travelers seeking both historical depth and access to Hungary's most popular lake destination. The city's compact nature makes it highly walkable, allowing hotel guests to easily reach key attractions on foot. For frequent-flyer travelers, Veszprém provides a quieter alternative to larger metropolitan hubs while maintaining rich cultural heritage. Its proximity to Lake Balaton means many visitors use it as a gateway, combining city exploration with lakeside relaxation. The city's central location within the county ensures good connectivity, though specific airport transfer details require checking current local transport options as direct IATA connections may vary.

Casa Christa

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€14.2 km

Roads fringed by almond trees and terraced vines lead to this stunning hillside spot; a restful place that comes with seven restored press houses that now play host to designer bedrooms with private saunas. Within the grounds sits this beautiful whitewashed restaurant with a simple bistro-cum-farmhouse style and a lovely terrace affording far-reaching views over the countryside towards Lake Balaton. The generous cooking has a similarly Mediterranean feel, with bright colours and bold, contrasting flavours – expect the likes of lamb soup with sour cream, followed by chicken with pea risotto.

Sparhelt

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€15.1 km

Head away from the lakeside to seek out this honest all-day bistro with a smart modern interior and a popular terrace. Dishes have a Hungarian heart and perfectly reflect the seasons, with the likes of chilled fruit soups in summer and hearty, warming dishes in winter. Meat-lovers should order the mangalitsa Wellington if they see it on the menu, while fish fanatics should come on Fridays for the special seafood menu. They offer wines from around the world, but don't pass up the opportunity to try some of the superb local Lake Balaton options.

Petrányi Csopak

Restaurant€€12.6 km

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a traditional Hungarian experience, then head straight for Petrányi Csopak. Perched high on the hillside, this period house sits within the sloping Petrányi Pince vineyard and affords lovely views out over the countryside and towards Lake Balaton in the middle distance. The menu offers a range of dishes that are inspired by the traditional home-cooked meals of the past – the kind of dishes that most Hungarian households have their own family recipes for, such as soups, stews and ragouts. The salmon trout with leek, potato, béchamel and lemon is a great

Csopaki Resti

Restaurant€€€13.6 km

There’s no denying that a meal at Csopaki Resti provides something a little different, as this tiny restaurant comprises just six seats and sits within the old village railway station. Because of its compact size, every diner can watch the chefs preparing the dishes in the on-view kitchen, but the four counter seats are undeniably the best place to be; wherever you sit, the chefs will serve you personally. The multi-course set menu takes on a refreshingly modern approach, while still keeping traditional Hungarian flavours to the fore.

Víg Molnár Csárda

Restaurant€€13.7 km

This traditional-looking tavern comes with plenty of character and is certainly a hit with the locals. There’s a rustic, slightly Mediterranean feel to the décor, which works well with its location near the lake, but the best place to sit is on the large terrace beside the working water wheel. Fairly priced, hearty Hungarian classics are the order of the day, with the meat-stuffed pancakes a speciality. Children have their own menu too, and you’ll be well looked after by the friendly owners and their team. It’s a place for every occasion, so can get very busy at peak times.

Zelna Borbisztró

Restaurant€€15.9 km

A smart, modern wine bar in the livelier part of this seasonal town, Zelna is named after the wine company whose biodynamic wines it serves – and also offers for purchase. This is a place to kick back and relax, and the small menu mixes light bites with more substantial Hungarian dishes so you can tailor-make your own experience – the beef cheeks are a hit and be sure to save room for the golden walnut dumplings for dessert! Every table is located on the large terrace, which stays open until 2am.

NOON

Restaurant€€16.9 km

An exclusive lakeside resort plays host to this elegant restaurant (if you’re not staying the night, then pre-booking is essential in high season). Grab a cocktail in the stylish bar before enjoying a carefully curated selection of contemporary Hungarian dishes which fuse tradition with inventive modern touches. Local wines are a feature, and the smooth service shows the team’s knowledge and care. If the chocolate and cherry dessert is on the menu, be sure to choose it.
