Skip the kitchen chaos and treat yourself to a stress-free Sunday at the famous Palace Hotel (Palotaszálló) in Miskolc’s enchanting Lillafüred district. Every Sunday from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM, the historic Hunyadi Restaurant opens its doors for an abundant Sunday Brunch, promising a feast in the heart of a fairy-tale setting.
You’ll dine surrounded by lush walking paths, the scent of flowers, and perhaps a view of Hungary’s tallest vertical waterfall cascading beside the stunning Lake Hámori (Hamori-tó). The neo-Renaissance palace hotel is famous for its magical gardens and the iconic Hanging Gardens, which have been featured on countless postcards and travel blogs.
What’s on the Menu?
The Sunday Brunch isn’t your average buffet. Expect 2–3 kinds of steaming soup, four to five main courses inspired by Hungarian, regional, and international favorites, salads brimming with seasonal produce, delightful desserts, and a bounty of fresh fruit. To elevate the atmosphere, live music accompanies the lunch, turning family mealtime into a special event.
One of the best parts? It won’t break the bank. The spread is just $22 per person. Children up to age 4 eat free, and those aged 5 to 12 get a 50% discount. With such deals, families can enjoy a luxurious treat without worry.
Your Table Awaits (But Reserve First!)
Given the popularity of the event—not to mention the setting—you’ll want to book ahead to secure the best spots for you and your loved ones. Reservations are highly recommended.
This isn’t a one-weekend wonder, either: the brunch returns every single Sunday, year-round, from October 2025 through late August 2026. So there’s plenty of time to plan your escape, whether you crave the crisp, invigorating air of spring, the vivid colors of autumn, a snow-draped winter wonderland, or a bright summer stroll around the estate.
The Lure of Lillafüred: Why the Hype?
