Price range: $$

Parti Bisztró stands next to Zamárdi’s free beach, on Zöldfa utca, and is one of the south shore’s beach bistros with the best view. Its secret is the rooftop terrace: under sun sails, you eat and drink looking straight across to Tihany. Downstairs there’s a garden and a large grassy area, right next to the beach.

A place that has been renewed

The bistro has had several eras. A few years ago it worked with one of the south shore’s well-known beach-food businesses, and in 2024 a new operator took over and renewed both the design and the menu. It opens at the start of summer and stays open until the end of September.

The kitchen

A short menu with specialities, led by a charismatic chef. Seasonal produce from local farmers, with special dishes alongside the classics. Beach favourites aren’t missing either: fish, pizza, quick bites. In summer they hold themed dinner evenings on the rooftop terrace, built around a single ingredient, with a menu put together by the chef.

Space and atmosphere

The renewed interior’s black-and-white graphics give the place an elegant yet relaxed feel, and the same hand-drawn line style runs across the walls and the rooftop terrace. There’s a small pop-up shop too, and in good weather at weekends it moves up to the rooftop terrace as a pop-up market. In the evening the terrace becomes a place for cocktails and meeting friends.

What guests say

Guests highlight the view of Tihany, the rooftop terrace, the friendly staff and food that is far more refined than at the average beach snack bar. Many consider it one of the best places to eat on the south shore.

Good to know

Seasonal, open roughly from early May to late September, from morning to evening. During big festivals the bistro may become part of the festival area and only be accessible with a ticket, so check their Facebook page beforehand.

Who it’s for

If after the beach you fancy a sunset drink, good beach food or a special rooftop dinner evening. If you want a quiet restaurant with table service, look at the themed evenings instead.

How much does it cost?

Mid-range: a little pricier than a beach snack bar, but worth it for the better ingredients and the view.
