La Vie is the gourmet restaurant of Le Primore Hotel & Spa in Hévíz. It opened in May 2025, and three and a half months later Gault&Millau rated it 14 points and two toques. The kitchen is led by Attila Borda.
Guest chefs and tasting menus
Each month they invite a renowned guest chef, with whom Attila Borda and his team create a four- or seven-course menu. The dishes debut at Chef’s Table evenings and then stay on the menu for a month. They work with seasonal ingredients from carefully chosen local producers.

It includes duck liver with raspberry and beetroot, rabbit consommé with rabbit liver and shimeji mushrooms, cod with Hokkaido pumpkin and citrus, aged mangalica neck, and venison with potato főzelék, mushrooms and savoy cabbage. You can also order à la carte, with mains between 4,900 and 18,200 forints. Prices include a 15% service charge.
