The story
In the small Hungarian town of Poroszló, the Graefl Major Kétútköz is a place where nature, farming, and hospitality unite. The restaurant is part of the Graefl Castle estate, a striking Art Nouveau property that has been carefully brought back to life. The team’s stated ambition is simple: to see the castle and its surroundings filled with happiness once more.
The restaurant’s kitchen is firmly rooted in the Slow Food philosophy, preparing dishes with organic ingredients sourced from the estate’s own self-sustaining farm. Here, the animals live well, and the produce reflects that care. This commitment to quality and terroir earned the restaurant a spot in the Michelin Guide’s Recommended list for 2026, a recognition that underscores the precision and integrity of the cooking.
Dining at Graefl Major is a calm, unhurried affair. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, with the option of outdoor seating for warmer months. The menu is built around the rhythms of the farm, changing with the seasons to highlight what is fresh and local. Vegetarian and vegan diners are well catered for, and the kitchen’s respect for ingredients means every plate feels honest and deliberate.
Beyond the restaurant, the estate hosts gastronomic events, wine tastings, concerts, and theatre evenings, making it a cultural destination as much as a culinary one. The castle itself, with its romantic chapel, also serves as a striking venue for weddings and ceremonies.
For those who wish to linger, four high-end garden apartments are available on the grounds, accommodating up to sixteen guests. Graefl Major Kétútköz is not just a meal—it is a complete, unhurried experience of Hungarian country life, elevated by Michelin-recognised skill.
