Malata Beer and Grill

Bar, Pub, Pub Grub, $$$

Craft beer, gourmet burgers, an outdoor garden in which to enjoy the summer sun…this relaxed restaurant is a favourite with visitors and locals, and it’s not hard to see why. Food is simple and well-prepared, with a number of grilled dishes featured on the menu, but it’s the burgers which are the real star here. Outside, the relaxed garden (or ‘kert’) is reminiscent of Budapest’s ruin bars, with a chill atmosphere and colourfully mismatched furniture.

Jobb Mint Otthon Kisvendéglő

Restaurant, Hungarian, $$$

Operated by the same company which runs the hugely popular Kiskőrössy Halászcsárda (see below), the name of this restaurant translates as “Better than at Home,” which effectively describes its philosophy: to create delicious, home-cooked meals using fresh ingredients. The food is excellent and the setting is stunning. Overlooking Lencsés Horgásztá, there is a terrace that juts out onto the water and is popular during the summer months thanks to the beautiful views and weather.

Kiskőrössy Halászcsárda

Restaurant, Fish and Chip Shop, Hungarian, $$$

Halászlé (fisherman’s soup) is a popular traditional Hungarian dish, enjoyed throughout the country. Thanks to Szeged’s location on the Tisza river, it’s also a local specialty and the city has its own version called Szegedi Halászlé. A number of restaurants focus on the spicy fish soup throughout Szeged, but Kiskőrössy Halászcsárda is one of the best places to taste it. A riverfront restaurant with outdoor seating during the warmer months, the traditional vibe and delicious food are reason enough to head to this local eatery.
