Kenese Evezős Terasz stands on Strand tér in Balatonkenese, a few steps from the shore and the Parti sétány promenade. It is a true summer spot: wooden benches and tables, green plants, string lights in the evening and a relaxed, friendly mood where you can sit down straight from the beach in flip-flops. For years it has been one of the fixed points of a Kenese summer.
Fish, pizza, burgers
The kitchen serves Balaton summer favourites, with a slightly wider reach. Guests most often praise the hake: fresh, a big piece, served with crispy fries and pickled cucumber. Alongside it there is fried fish, round thin-crust pizza, a juicy burger with fries, and, according to their Facebook page, vegetable fried rice too. Portions are generous; one plate is plenty after a day at the beach.
Lemonade on the terrace
In the heat the homemade lemonades go fastest, with fruit pieces and lots of ice, and there is wine and beer for the terrace too. In the evening, when the lights come on, the place changes a little: groups of friends take over from the beachgoers, and many stay for another round.
The place
A large, shady terrace with wooden benches, parasols and plants, close to the beach and the promenade. Service is friendly and the mood easygoing; one guest says the owner looks after guests personally. A good choice with family and children for a light summer lunch.
Opening hours
In the summer season it is typically open daily from 10 am to 10 pm. Check current hours before you go.
What do guests say?
Guests highlight the hake, the generous portions and the friendly service. Several find the prices at Balaton summer level, so it is not the cheapest, but most are happy with the portion sizes.
Who is it for?
Anyone in Kenese who fancies good hake, pizza or a burger near the beach on a relaxed terrace. Families, groups of friends and cyclists for a hearty lunch. If you are after a formal, quiet dinner, look elsewhere.
How much does it cost?
Mid-range: fish or a burger with a side and a drink costs a few thousand forints per person, at Balaton summer prices.
