Ready to escape into the aristocratic life, at least for a meal? The historic Palace Hotel (Palotaszálló) in Miskolc, perched above Lake Hamor (Hámori Lake) and surrounded by the lush Bükk Mountains, invites you to breathtaking views, crisp mountain air, and high-end cuisine. With a panorama that stuns from every window, you’ll want to linger over lunch at the Sophia Lookout (Zsófia look-out), savoring not just the food but every magical detail around you.
Small Plate, Big Experience
Think more variety and discovery, less monotony. This summer, the Palace Hotel’s (Palotaszálló) kitchen embraces the trendy small plate style that has already swept Budapest. Instead of a single, heavy main course, order two or three diverse dishes and let your palate explore the flavors of Bükk and beyond. The seasonal menu ranges from outstanding Hungarian classics to bursts of Mediterranean and Eastern surprises, all the way to Hungary’s favorite street food—fried dough (lángos).
Nature and Nibbles
The Panorama Gastro Terrace (Panoráma Gasztro Terrace) is much more than an outdoor eatery. Imagine the sound of a bubbling creek, birdsong, and taking a deep breath of the mountain’s perfectly fresh microclimate while you sip and sample. The menu is refreshingly diverse: plant-based options for the eco-conscious, healthier spins for the wellness crowd, and meaty classics for the die-hards. Every choice reflects thoughtfulness—no one’s left out, whether you’re sensitive, picky, or just looking for tradition with a twist.
Quality Over Quantity
Forget mindless excess. The new concept at the Palace Hotel (Palotaszálló) is all about unforgettable authenticity and conscious indulgence. Instead of stuffing yourself, you enjoy more value, more variety, and, yes, more happiness. It’s not a compromise—just a richer, deeper kind of luxury.
Dining Fit for Nobility
The Palace Hotel (Palotaszálló) also houses two distinctive restaurants plus a cozy lobby bar. The Hunyadi Restaurant’s high ceilings, intricate wooden panels, and family crests of old Hungarian nobles set the scene for an abundant buffet every night. Meanwhile, for medieval drama, the Matthias Restaurant (Mátyás Restaurant, open autumn–spring) lets you go à la carte amid stained glass windows depicting famous cities from Historic Hungary (Greater Hungary). In summer, the terrace reigns supreme for lakeside lunches (12:00–16:30).
Drinks, Sweets, and History
The beautiful, storied lobby bar downstairs is open daily 8:00–23:00. Sip artisan coffee, swirl a glass of local wine, or try special Belgian sour cherry beer. Sample homemade lemonade and fresh pastries as you soak up 1930s wall art, József Heim’s vintage fireplace, and stained glass celebrating the famed Matthias and Beatrix (Mátyás and Beatrix) royal hunting party.
Wine Underground
Take your epicurean adventure deeper—literally. Two stories below, the wine cellar stays a perfect 48–50°F thanks to a natural cave shaft linking to the Anna Cave. Part of the limestone ceiling glitters with unique formations. Candlelit tastings for groups of 10–60 feature rare Hungarian and international wines, offering a rare Baroque cave experience with every glass.
Celebrate in Style
Mark family milestones (birthdays, engagements, graduations), or host a private business feast in the elegant King Louis the Great Room (Nagy Lajos Room). With English wallpaper and the show-stopping Cluny fireplace, this hall serves up an atmosphere to match even the most lavish event. Note: cakes from outside are only allowed with an official HACCP certificate—for safety and storage, thank you for understanding!
Sunday Brunch Extravaganza
Every Sunday, dig into a sprawling brunch buffet with 2–3 soups, 4–5 main courses, salads, desserts, and plenty of seasonal fresh fruit. A live band completes the treat, all for just $22 per person. Foodies, don’t miss out.
