The story
On the sun-drenched slopes of Csopak, overlooking Lake Balaton, Petrányi Csopak offers a wine terrace experience that has earned a Michelin recommendation. The 180-degree panorama of the lake is the backdrop for a menu built around seasonal, home-style Hungarian dishes and the estate’s own wines.
The terrace itself sits in one of Csopak’s most beautiful vineyard plots, with space for up to 80 guests. In fine weather, tables are placed just steps from the sunlit rows of vines; when the air turns cool, a tiled stove warms the interior, keeping the atmosphere intimate and welcoming.
The kitchen focuses on carefully prepared seasonal fare, designed to accompany the wines. The approach is straightforward: honest, Hungarian cooking that changes with the harvest. Wine and food pairings are refreshed each season, and the team offers guided tastings and estate tours for those who want to go deeper into the vineyards.
Beyond the daily menu, Petrányi Csopak hosts private events, from corporate gatherings to weddings. The borterasz and indoor spaces are available for celebrations, and the staff can arrange full programs that include a guided tasting, a walk through the estate, and a meal built around the season’s best ingredients.
The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday, with extended hours on weekends. Reservations are recommended, especially during the warmer months when the terrace is at its busiest.
