The newest gastronomic trends in Hévíz
Innovative design, modern gastronomic trends, monthly changing menu, creativity and sophistication. These are the main features of the Brix Bistro cuisine, where even traditional dishes are served in a new form.
Bavarian atmosphere, tasty dishes, family restaurant with a puli dog. Are you looking for the best pork shank with cabbage or a real Kaiserschmarrn? Here, regulars have their own beer mug vault. Real Bavarian atmosphere, October festival in October, and the most festive place in town around Christmas. Bodry, the puli dog, welcomes you at the doorstep. Don’t be afraid, step over him.
Hofbräu Restaurant - Large Car Park
A confectionery that is much more than that. It is the REGULAR HAUNT
At first glance, it may look like a pastry shop because all you can see from the terrace are the many wonderful Italian pastries and cakes but if you look a little deeper you can also find Italian hams, cheeses, freshly baked bread, coffees with fine aroma and chilled wines. If you enjoy hanging around there, Macchiato will be your regular haunt.
Macchiato Cafe & Lounge - Széchenyi Street
+1 for HardCore Foodies: for those who do not shy away from eating something phenomenal in a special restaurant
Is there even a restaurant where the menu does not exist? Yes, there is. There is also a daily selection of the best types of meat. You might find buffalo, Mangalica pig, guinea fowl or rabbit on offer, but what exactly will be the side dish or sauce? ... it will be based on the effect of the vibrations created between the fanatic foodie/owner and you. But it will certainly affect you. Those who like it ... are very fond of it. Those who do not like it ... will even leave the place with a full stomach.

Row of the small restaurants at the large car park
