Kistücsök Restaurant

It’s been almost two decades that I took over the restaurant in my twenties, when I had ideas, plans and dreams. In the beginning perhaps I could not precisely define those goals and the way to accomplish them, which since then were consciously and consistently built by me, the gastronomic culture and scene was also well different. Then something started. Owing to one of my guests, who is a world traveller, and with whom we are in close friendship ever since, my interest to know about restaurants abroad grew intensively. We had many long discussions and later started to go on culinary „study” tours.

The world opened up and based on experiences, observations and international examples it slowly appeared to me clearly, what type of a restaurant is my vision. Chef László Jahni and the entire team of the restaurant without doubt had a huge role in accomplishing this, without them we would not be where we are now today. I think that the honourable title, that Kistücsök (Little Cricket) is within the best ten restaurants in the country, as well, that I was voted for the restaurant owner of the year 2010, reassures me, that we are on a good track. We would like to speak about our region, our lake Balaton, through our meals and wines. Respecting the tradition and the ingredients is of utmost importance for us, seen as our roots, at the same time, we keep an eye on their renewal and innovation. It is important for us to understand them and to speak about them, this is why we aim to take part in the Hungarian gastronomic scene.
