1552 Étterem — Restaurant in Egri járás

Amazing! We over heard other tourists sitting nearby about an excellent restaurant in the citadel and we’re glad we discovered it! The ambiance is exquisite. Photos don’t do it justice. The decor along with the choice of music is both enticing and relaxing.

We were fortunate that we, with the exception of 3 ladies sitting in a corner, were the only ones there. We were warmly greeted and seated by a window as requested.

The menu has something for every palate. Not only were the portions satisfying but the quality of our meal was outstanding in both presentation and flavour. The sour cherry beer is a must have.

Dining here was a memorable experience indeed. The only drawback is having to pay the entrance fee to the castle each time you go there even if you don’t want to visit the grounds. Which by the way are mostly closed for renovations. So it’s a 7500 ft for two surcharge to the cost of the meal.

well... the food was actually quite good, but it stops there. let me explain... first moment: dinner, twenty past eight. we arrive at the door and it almost looks like we have a block of three employees in front of the door, but we managed to get in. second moment: one of the plates we order say is called breaded chicken. when it comes its breaded alright but there is no chicken, just cheese. when we ask the employee, he just replied that it's the "Hungarian style". i may even accept the translation was wrong but being the kid plate i would expect some kind of suggestion or alternative. third moment and the best: five minutes to nine, we ask to see the desert menu and the answer is: the kitchen is closed. just wonderful! never in my life the kitchen closed in the middle of a meal... or at least we should have been warned earlier. when leaving, the employees said "bye...

Our dinner at 1552 Étterem was marvelous. The ambiance was superb, the waiters were professional and attentive. The restaurant has an ideal location near Egri Vár, perfect for visiting tourists. Above all, the meals were delicious. The buffalo goulash soup and Taste of Bükk starters were above our expectation. Oh and the angus beef filet mignon was phenomenal! Since Eger is a wine region, the waiters were knowledgeable in suggesting good wine pairings with the dishes. The food was so good that we just dived in and finished eating before we realized that we forgot to take photos. Overall, it was an amazing gastronomical experience and we will certainly keep coming back! Thank you 1552...
