Főzelék Faloda is a simple, home-style eatery in Zamárdi, on Aradi utca. Despite its name, they don’t only cook főzelék (Hungarian thick vegetable stew), but they do make several kinds every day. The place’s motto could easily be „quick, cheap and good”. It’s open all year, which counts for a lot in Zamárdi once the beach snack bars have closed.

The kitchen

Classic Hungarian canteen-style home cooking, of the better kind. There’s a set menu every day with a choice of two mains plus soup. The à la carte offer includes freshly fried dishes, soups, pasta, sides and of course főzelék: pea, tomato cabbage and whatever is in season. There’s a lactose-free főzelék too. For larger groups they also make family platters, even for eight to ten people.

Space and atmosphere

A self-service eatery with a terrace and checked tablecloths. You don’t come here for the atmosphere but because you’re hungry and want to eat well, though the terrace is pleasant in summer. There’s coffee too if you want to linger after lunch. It’s step-free and you can pay by card.

What guests say

On Restaurant Guru it averages 4.3 from almost five hundred reviews and ranks first among Zamárdi’s canteens. Guests praise the home-style flavours, the generous portions, the varied set menu and the friendly, fast service. Holidaymakers who drop in once often come back for lunch over the following days.

Good to know

Open every day from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon, all year. So you can’t have dinner here, but for lunch it’s one of the best-value places in Zamárdi. You can take food away or order delivery. It’s easy to find by turning off main road 7.

Who it’s for

If during your holiday you fancy a proper, home-style hot lunch, quickly and at a friendly price. Especially for families and anyone in Zamárdi out of season. If you’re looking for a special experience or a waterside view, this isn’t the place.

How much does it cost?

Good value: the set menu and the főzelék dishes sit in the lower half of Balaton canteen prices.
