Patkós Csárda
An old inn on Route 33 beside the west gate of the national park, popular for oven-roasted Hungarian dishes and slambuc herdsman's pasta.
Located on Route 33 at the west gate of Hortobágy National Park, about 8 km east of Tiszafüred at the Egyek junction. It is one of the inns on the 'Inn Road' still operating today and is considered one of the most popular restaurants in the area. It serves Hungarian home cooking and regional dishes, with traditional ovens and covered garden seating. Its signature dishes are slambuc herdsman's pasta with pork knuckle and spicy catfish, and there is also a platter for two. From spring through autumn there is an animal corner, which is great for children. There is a motel next door. Open all year, and you can reserve by phone. It is ideal for a stop between Lake Tisza and Hortobágy, but you need a car to get there.
Opening hours
Daily approx. 9:00–21:00 (open all year; confirm by phone before visiting)
