2026 kicks off with sizzling pans and big flavors in Győr, where Placc is hosting a hands-on street food workshop dedicated to American comfort food. Quick, affordable, and wildly tasty—that’s the promise.

If cracking the code of U.S. street food is your thing, this kitchen is your playground.
The culinary trip doesn’t stop at the border. Placc Gasztrokaland keeps rolling: after the U.S., it heads south through Latin America, with the second stop in Mexico—serving up the classics everyone knows and loves. Love to travel? So do they. Eszti visited Mexico in 2017 and fell hard for the country; now she’s ready to guide you using your taste buds and imagination.

Where to Stay by the Action
The area around Győr is stacked with places to sleep, chill, and make a weekend out of it. Picture a charming lakeside village of twelve reed-roofed holiday cottages—cozy and atmospheric at any time of year. In summer, the lake is a favorite beach spot for families and young people, with kayaking and boat rentals on hand. Anglers love it year-round, too.
The Amstel Hattyú Panzió sits just steps from Győr’s historic downtown in a leafy riverside setting on a 5,000 m2 plot along the Mosoni-Danube. It’s easy to reach, peaceful, and ideal for anyone—from city explorers to active travelers who want plenty of sports options.
In the Kisalföld region, 5 miles from the city center in Győr’s garden district, a youth accommodation offers fresh air and a refreshing rural vibe. Built in 1994, the two-winged building has chapels on both floors and 45 beds. It’s open year-round by prior arrangement. The dining room, lecture hall, and kitchen can be rented even without booking rooms, making it great for retreats and courses.
Right in the heart of town on the pedestrian Jedlik Ányos (Ányos Jedlik) Street, Barokk Hotel Promenád**** welcomes guests in an early 1600s baroque townhouse—now a listed monument. Expect comfortable double and triple rooms, including a family room, a bio-room, and one baroque suite. Each room is named after a famous figure from Győr, reflected in both the decor and in-room write-ups.
Bolero Hotel channels classic bourgeois style and draws all kinds of guests—couples, families, business travelers, and groups who love good food, live music, and a stylish night out. There’s also a first-class family-run guesthouse, opened in 2009, set just 980 feet from the historic center and a 10-minute walk from the railway station, with elegant rooms and modern bathrooms year-round.
For workers and travelers on the move, there’s a practical hostel solution in Győr with rooms for 1–6 people, each with a shower and toilet. Expect kitchens, washing machines, free Wi-Fi, free parking, a guarded area, and a grocery store (Dáma ABC) on site. The building’s lowest level houses the cozy Western-style Dáma-Tanya pub. Every room includes a color TV and fridge, plus shared kitchens for every three rooms and self-service laundry.
City Vibes, Classic Landmarks
Győr is the city of encounters: set at the meeting point of four rivers, it layers cultural programs and historical eras like a well-stacked sandwich. The beautifully restored baroque downtown is the standout, anchored by the centuries-old Danubius Hotel Rába—an ideal jump-off for exploring sights and monuments.
Domus Peregrini Apartments offer flexible stays for solo travelers, groups, and pilgrims across 23 units with two- or three-bed setups, kitchenette counters, shower bathrooms, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and laptop-sized safes. Some rooms have extra beds, and interconnecting apartments work perfectly for larger parties. There’s secure bicycle storage in the courtyard, too.
Close to the Mosoni-Danube in the old downtown, a baroque-style guesthouse welcomes solo, business, and group travelers with 14 fully equipped rooms, a cozy baroque lounge, a small inner courtyard, and plenty of pleasant surprises—all in harmony with the historic surroundings.
Eat, Drink, Repeat
Apátúr Sörház revives centuries of tradition under the joint wing of Széchenyi University and the Saint Maurus Benedictine Priory. Through craft brewing, hospitality, and events, they bridge the monastery walls with the city—aiming to leave a mark on both gastronomy and Benedictine culture.
At Gyirmót Sport & Wellness Hotel, the Arundo Restaurant serves daily from noon with an à la carte menu, a Sunday buffet, and a generous breakfast. They host family celebrations and corporate events, too.
A tea house five minutes from downtown sets the mood for a relaxed break with more than 60 teas, coffees, specialty drinks, hot chocolates, soft drinks, spirits, and regular drink promos, sports broadcasts on a projector, free Wi-Fi, and private events for up to 50 guests.
Craving retro Americana? Győr’s first true diner shoots for the moon—no compromises. The mission: serve traditional American flavors and build an experience beyond the plate with top-tier ingredients and a team that cares.
On the city’s famed pedestrian street, a premium bar brings high-quality service, top-shelf spirits, cocktails, and specialty coffees—more than drinks, it’s an invitation to elegance and exclusivity.
The Belga Söröző és Étterem (Belgian Pub and Restaurant) in the baroque core is a favorite for a reason: think piquant beer bites, clever starters, rich soups, quirky Belgian salads, the treasures of Neptune’s kingdom, Rábaköz-style regional dishes, colorful pasta wonders, retro must-haves, and irresistible desserts. Their homestyle lunch deal also hits the spot.
Another family-run restaurant leans on years of hospitality know-how to guarantee flavorful plates, from soups and poultry to pork, fish, pasta, vegetarian dishes, and desserts. With capacity for 150–200 guests, they host weddings, graduations, friendly get-togethers, family events, and corporate parties.
Don’t miss Győr’s first café run by people with disabilities in a historic setting—great coffee, hot chocolate, craft syrups, and other refreshments with warm service.
At Hotel Kálvária’s four-star building, the award-winning Carmen Étterem (Carmen Restaurant; Gault & Millau 11) serves both Hungarian classics and international specialties in an elegant, serene environment just minutes from the baroque center—paired with standout wines from Hungarian cellars.
And if you’re planning anything from a client dinner to a champagne reception or birthday bash, Club Carat prides itself on tailored hosting, flawless planning, and the right table for every occasion.
