Fészek Étel és Hotel

Fészek Étel és Hotel in Zánka welcomes guests a few steps from Lake Balaton with a colourful, atmospheric terrace, homely Hungarian dishes and creative food inspired by the Káli Basin. Opened in 2016, the restaurant's best-known original speciality is the Zánkai Kétkezes, a generously filled sandwich made with slow-roasted pork. Earlier offerings also included distinctive Káli pizzas, fish dishes and homemade desserts, while light street food and vegan dishes broadened the selection in spring 2026. A near-beach atmosphere, cycling stop and 13-room hotel under one roof.
