Trendy Places
Hungarianwines.eu obviously focuses on wine, therefore wine bars and wine restaurants are featured frequently. However, we have realized that Hungary has several exciting, though not wine centered places. Craft beer is a hot topic, the national spirit, ‘pálinka’ is another story to tell, and we have many fabulous restaurants, bistros and bars, which are worth recommending – even if wine is not a key element of their concept
Macok Bistro – the place to eat in Eger
Good for me if it’s good for you.
One of the 10 best restaurants of Hungarian countryside (Dining Guide magazine), Macok uses local ingredients like trout from neighbouring Szilvásvárad or artisan cheese from Bükk region. The wine list amazing: guests can choose from a wide range of Eger wines and some carefully selected wines from other wine regions of Hungary.
Macok is run by two couples: János Macsinka is the chef, his wife, Éva Csorba does the controlling, while Péter Szternák is the manager and head of the wine shop within the bistro (called Peti’s wine shop), and his wife, Tímea Dudás is responsible for marketing. So much love must be felt all around, and indeed it does! And the same care and attention characterises their other restaurant, Brumbrum and their hotel, Imola Udvarház Dessert Hotel.
