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.
Öreg Harang Borozó - Egregy
Where the venison stew is served with potato dumplings topped with fried onion, the fish soup is made from carp and the cottage cheese noodles with pork scratchings.
Magyar Csárda
The Magyar Csárda opened its doors in 1985. They offer excellent Hungarian cuisine and live gipsy music in the evenings.

The restaurant has a wide range of dishes on the menu so everyone can find something nice, be it a real Hungarian or international dish.
Kocsi Csárda
The Kocsi Csárda was also opened in 1985 in Hévíz. The atmosphere of the place and its offer speaks for itself. In the evenings, you can enjoy the perfect Hungarian dishes, such as spit-roasted pork cutlets, stew or bean goulash while listening to live music. “A true tavern atmosphere, delicious dishes, huge portions, Hungarian flavours and fast, polite service’ wrote a guest in the guest book. / Kerék Csárda / Located at the foot of Egregyi Hill, the Kerék Csárda and Dombföldi Márton Cellar has become one of the most atmospheric wine taverns in the area since its opening in 1985. The elaborately designed vaulted cellar offers a unique venue for various events. The menu offers delicious dishes to please everyone. The lovely atmosphere is enhanced by musical programmes in the romantic, candlelit garden on pleasant summer evenings.

Teri Mama Vendéglője (Mama Teri’s Restaurant)

Family atmosphere, the ambience of a typical old peasant house with embroidered tablecloths, a large earthware oven and home-style flavours and dishes await you.
Row of the small restaurants at the large car park
Although not on a par with quality restaurant service, many people feel nostalgic about the row of small restaurants in the Large Car Park, where you can eat freshly baked roasts, poppy seed dumplings or fried dough with garlic, which is a must in the summer. And of course, the selection of dishes also includes tripe, bean soup with pork shank and pancakes with jam or curd as a dessert.
Fresh cheeses, smoked sausages, spices, vegetables and artisan products direct from the producer. Choose natural and healthy food.
In the spirit of the old days, the area behind the Large Car Park in Hévíz is full of stallkeepers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Occasionally, visitors can meet honey producers, pickle and juice makers, cheese and vegetable sellers and enjoy authentic Transylvanian music. Fresh bread, sausages, homemade cakes and cow's milk can even be tried before buying. In addition to fine foods, craftsmen sell their wares, and you can buy earthenware pots, baskets or even handmade soaps on the spot.
