Restaurant
The Arany Csillag Pizzéria is a great place to get pizza. The lasagne and tiramisu are really good. Unfortunately, the restaurant can be quite noisy at night and it often refuse to serve you if there's a crowd, so it's advisable to make a reservation.
The pastas were just too good I would definitely recommend the pasta. We had spaghetti gamberini which was really good and the cottage cheese filled pasta which was also really good. The pizzas were good but I would definitely suggest the pasta over pizza

Every time when we visit Balatonfüred we can't miss to eat some great italian food at Arany Csillag Pizzeria. We have never been disappointed in the last 15 years. :-) Their "garlic souce with pizzagolyó" is something what we recommend to friends from all over the world. :-)

OK, nothing special, but tasty italian dishes. For the comfort and elegance of the place it is overpriced though. It needs a major rehaul.

Best Margarita Pizza I ever had.
Haider Abbas — Google review
The food is great (the lasagne and the tiramisu are absolutely delicious), the service is a little unenthusiastic. Dropping in for an evening meal is quite a Russian roulette here though as they close ridiculously early even mid-summer, and they often refuse to serve you if there's a crowd, which happens often. So it's a good idea to have a reservation.

We go every year with 80 7th graders on our fall trip away from school. Service is always friendly. Get the pizza rolls with dipping sauce. So good! We look forward to it every year as a highlight of our trip.

Prepare for some hefty disappointment with inattentive waiters and food bad and salty... There really shouldn't be much to get wrong on a prosciutto pizza, and yet we sent half of it back, remaining hungry instead. Many years ago it was a safe bet to eat here. Now the safe option is to avoid this place...
Máté Szegedi — Google review
10 years ago this place was top. Even in 2019 we ate a very good pasta there. But unfortunately Covid did his job: the tortellini was like freshly purchased from the shop with a cheap cheesesouce (budget). The meat was the cheapest grinded meat (spam) what you could possibly buy. For this the price is average. The waiters are not really behaving like they are waiters. They are friendly, but they do not behave like pros. Worth to give them a 2nd Chance for the old times.

Bistro
The kitchen at Bistro Sparhelt serves well-crafted dishes made with fresh produce from its farm. Despite the restaurant's name ("Not a Duck"), the duck dish is exceptional, but there are also other delicious main courses and homemade pasta options. This restaurant offers modern cuisine of high quality, combining traditional Hungarian flavors with international choices. The seasonal menus feature imaginative combinations of tastes and are presented beautifully in a relaxed setting. Many visitors consider it the best restaurant in Hungary and even in the world.
Absolutely fantastic. Great selection of wines by the glass, exquisite food and pleasant service. Bit pricey, but quality went hand in hand with the price (55k forint for 2 mains, 2 appetizers, 2 espressos and 4 glasses of wine)

Fantastic restaurant. Modern cuisine at its best. Seasonal menus with imaginative combinations of flavours updating the best traditional Hungarian dishes alongside international menu choices. Quality ingredients beautifully presented in a relaxed environment. We come here several times a year whenever we are in Balatonfured. The best restaurant in Hungary and for us in the world.

Very nice, friendly, professional service! The food was excellent, very well prepared and seasoned, especially tasty! The wine pairing was also amazing, some of the best local wines! There is room for improvement nevertheless, the courses of the tasting menu were a bit rushed, and I had to drink the wine faster than I would have liked. Also, the billing could be slightly improved, the tasting menu included a bottle of water, however this was billed separately, and we also had a salad on the bill which we did not actually receive. I forgot to check the bill before leaving, I'm sure it would have been corrected, though this would better be avoided. Thanks again for the great hospitality and tasty food!

Went for the ratings and unfortunatelly very dissapointing,.expectations were high. Mushroom consome, nice though just that, nice. Wines, tried primitivo, very good and Malbec, not sure how they can have such a low quality wine and over priced it. Lamb, well cut..and thats it. Expected something else than just bake it, no sauce, nothing appealing. Surely not worth the cost, for the pricing anywhere else you get proper fine dinning. Service was correct and friendly though below level as well as what should be. Paid.72.000 ft, 2 person plus a child.

nice atmosphere, not crowded, the staff is friendly. the only not complaint but reservation we had: we felt the chef overthought some of the food we ate. perfect quality, just a bit too much. the meal felt as if it was overflowing with competing tastes. besides that: perfect.

The best restaurant so far in Hungary. Well trained and friendly staff. Very refined dishes with perfect portion. Even though it is expensive, it worths the price.

Nice, simple place, more on the fine-dining side of the chart. Traditional and "trendier" menus, great wine pairing. Perfect service, very sympathetic people ready to make your dinner q good experience. Also not the cheapest, but they are not playing the "we are poshy" game either.

My local friends recommended this place to me so I decided to test it. And it was definitely worth it. Food was exquisite. My pork was probably best I have ever had. The tomato-strawberry soup was an interesting combination but again delicious.

Not just a cute place but the food was excellent. Fresh pasta with shrimp was just perfectly done. Omg, Wild pork loin was very tender and juicy. Well balance with the sides decorated on the plate. Highly recommend.

Cocktail bar
Cafe
Discovering ÉgSzínKék Balatonfüred was a delightful happenstance. The beverages offered here are superb and unique, while the venue exudes a warm and inviting ambiance. Although it may be particularly lively during the summer months, this charming establishment is enjoyable regardless of the season. It is definitely worth a visit! The extensive range of cocktails, spirits, and gin&tonic variations available is impressive. However, the standout feature is unquestionably the exceptional service provided by the staff.
The great selection of cocktails, spirits, gin&tonic varietes. But the best thing is service, it is amazing. Recommended!

Definitely a must for Gin & Tonic fans! A really great place with an extremely wide selection of cocktails and Gin & Tonics. In addition, its location is also good, and we really liked that they are open until late, in fact, it is one of the places that closes at the latest in the area. They offer very creative and varied drinks, among which everyone is guaranteed to find something that suits their taste. The food we tasted was also tasty, but the portions are not very large, so if someone doesn't just want to have a snack with the drinks, but is really hungry, it is worth ordering more than one course. However, it is very positive that you can order food until closing. The service was really nice, polite and attentive, and we also received great advice on which drink to choose from the range that suits our taste.

Since there is no scale for drinks I am placing 1 star for food. Terrible cocktails. Only the gin tonic was okay. They have very big menu, unfortunately they were terrible. The service was nice, the prices for the quality totally expensive.

Live DJ on Friday evening, which is good; but far too laud, that ruins the atmosphere. Waiters are kind, but often need to remind them for the order. Toilets are simply disgusting. We haven't taste the snacks. Cocktails are super, they have a lot of variety from to choose: different basis, tastes, interesting combinations.

Hungarian restaurant
Baricska Csárda, a Hungarian restaurant located in Balatonfured, stands out for its exceptional setting amidst historic vineyards. With a balcony enveloped by grapevines, patrons can relish their meals while enjoying scenic views of Lake Balaton. This eatery showcases an assortment of halal Hungarian dishes following traditional recipes and also offers delectable European cuisine.
Fantastic restaurant and superb food. We tried one of each main and one of each dessert and both parents and three kids were in agreement to come back before the vacation is over. Humorous and kind server, the price is very acceptable. We would recommend to anyone wanting to try the Hungarian cuisine.
Heidi Hass — Google review
High expectations not full filled because of the following reason: Not really warm welcomed. And many dishes have been served wrong like: Fish soup instead of Gulash. One dish was already completely cold and had to be replaced. The service generally was rather slow. Dessert card was not offered even we asked for. Food: All the food was very dry and seemed not cooked freshly. The highlight was the Gulash. The other dishes we can’t recommend. The vegetarian dish was not really tasty.
Oliver Borbach — Google review
If you love Hungarian food, you will be happy. If you look for healthier alternatives or something slightly "modern", not so much. Therefore average. Most of the dishes are fried, even on the kids menu. Quite pricey. Staff were ok. Probably a very traditional, popular place, but if you are looking for something more interesting, choose a different place.

Our experience at Baricska Csarda was absolutely amazing! The beef stew with cottage cheese noodle was so tasty, and the grilled coat cheese with mixed salad and hazelnuts had us craving for more. The staff's warm hospitality and the vibrant ambiance made our lunch experience truly memorable. We're already planning our next visit!

Located on the bank of a little private port, Il Lago Ristorante Balatonfüred serves delicious Italian dishes such as tagliatelle alla bolognese and lasagne. The restaurant has a serene setting and offers excellent service. The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the pizza, which is made with fresh ingredients and very tasty.
Excellent food. They were out of the two cocktails that we ordered but the alternatives we received were also good. We ordered shrimp pasta with tomatoes and an amatriciana.
