Dokk Halsütöde és Fagyizó

Dokk Halsütöde és Fagyizó sits near Zamárdi’s beach, at the start of Kiss Ernő utca, about fifty metres from the shore. It does two things, and takes both seriously: freshly fried fish and artisan Italian ice cream made on site. Add specialty coffee and cocktails, and you have every key point of a beach day in one place.

Not just hake

The fish fry is known for not following the usual beach template. Alongside hake they fry catfish, and they also make fish crackling, a rarity among Balaton snack bars. The fish is fried fresh to order until crisp. One guest wrote that the fish was a joy to eat and the price was very fair.

The ice-cream bar

The ice cream is made on site, the Italian way. Guest favourites include mango and Oreo, and there are several sugar-free flavours, which is unusual for a beach ice-cream bar. The ice-cream counter runs separately next to the fish fry, all day long in summer.

Space and atmosphere

Guests also like Dokk’s design: a clean, modern beach bar with a view of the lake. Drinks such as a spritzer are served in proper glasses, a small thing that says a lot about the attitude.

What guests say

On Szallas.hu it averages 9.6/10, with guests praising the fresh, crispy fish, the tasty ice cream, the sugar-free choice and the aromatic coffee. Critical voices are hard to find; more typically, those who eat here once come back during their holiday.

Good to know

Seasonal, open in the summer months, with the ice-cream bar usually open from ten in the morning to ten at night in summer. It’s a few steps from the beach, so you can easily pop over for a portion of fish or a scoop of ice cream while swimming.

Who it’s for

If you want something better than the usual hake on the beach, quickly and inexpensively. A good choice for families with children too, as ice cream comes after the fish.

How much does it cost?

Good value: beach snack-bar prices, and very good value for the quality.
