Hungary's meat-rich national cuisine is a paradise for foodies who are not shy about gaining a few extra pounds. However, you shouldn't expect any outlandish discoveries when exploring Hungarian cuisine.
Besides all sorts of traditional meat dishes, in Heviaz you will be treated to typical Hungarian sweets. Dobosh cake, frosted cheesecakes, pancakes with nuts, creamy galushki and the world-famous Esterhazy cake are among them.
Paprika is a must when cooking main courses. This will give the dish a more spicy and pronounced flavor profile. Compared to the Hungarian capital, you can still feel the traditional flavor of the locals in Hévíz.
Tourists here can be treated to the traditional fruit vodka Palinka, sit at a communal table and eat homemade sausage. If you ask a Hungarian which alcoholic drink is the national drink, he'll list tons of names. However, the most famous are Tokaj wine, beer and the bitter balsam Unicum.
The most popular Hungarian dishes include Hungarian goulash, chicken paprikash, Langos, rich fish soup Hlasle, potato flour tortillas Pocacha, and the familiar cottage cheese, called TuroRudy.
