Tata’s Malom és Kacsa (Mill and Duck) Restaurant and Event House is rolling out a fresh slate of cultural delights in 2026, blending top-notch theater with lakeside gastronomy. The intimate venue on the shore of the Old Lake (Öreg-tó) invites audiences to sink into close-up performances while enjoying the warmth of a place that treats art and dining as one experience. Doors open at 2890 Tata, Tópart St. 19 (Tópart u. 19.), with the season marking a return to the house’s signature format: bold stagings, generous hospitality, and a night out that lingers long after the curtain call.
Spotlight: Sugar Baby (Cukorbaba)
Headlining on Wednesday, 2026-05-13 is Sugar Baby (Cukorbaba), an all-arts stage confession inspired by the life and legend of Lujza Blaha. The show stretches the borders of theater, music, literature, and puppetry, shaping a performance where every beat is both admission and act. It doesn’t shy away from sharp, timely questions: the pressures of the actress’s vocation, the possession of the female body, the fault line between stage and private life, the unspoken expectations behind the price of love, and the reality of sacrifice. Alongside reflections from great divas, the piece threads in the voices of today’s YouTubers and celebrity girls, asking what stardom really means, where affectation begins, and how values tilt and reset. What does it take to be an actress, to be a woman, to face an audience and own yourself? Expect a daring mix of confession, critique, and charisma—in a room close enough to hear the breath between lines.
Lakeside Setting, Four-Star Comfort
Just steps away, the Malom és Kacsa (Mill and Duck) Boutique Hotel **** Superior pairs old-world charm with modern indulgence in a one-of-a-kind waterfront setting. Themed rooms are designed to soothe and inspire, whether you’re in for a romantic pause or an active escape. Nestled on the shore of Tata’s Old Lake (Öreg-tó), the hotel is a top pick for premium experiences, historical ambiance, and true switch-off time. Guests wake to birdsong, wander historic paths, and end days with a golden-hour glow spilling across the lake—perfect prelude or encore to a theater-filled evening.
Eat, Toast, Applaud
The Malom és Kacsa (Mill and Duck) Restaurant, housed inside three renovated, heritage-listed mills by the Old Lake (Öreg-tó), sets the table for lingering lunches, sunset dinners, and celebrations that stretch into the night. Dive into flavors with a panoramic view, lean into the venue’s singular mood, and make it a date night or a milestone—private or corporate. The invitation is the same: come for the performance, stay for the plate, sip through the applause. The trio of historic mills holds space for everything from pre-show nibbles to post-show toasts, anchoring the evening in a setting that’s both storied and fresh.
Plan Your Night
The organizers reserve the right to change the time and program, so check in ahead of your visit. Book a table, secure a room, and line up the details to match the mood: art-forward, lakeside, unhurried. Call, follow, reserve—then let the house do the rest. In Tata, at Tópart St. 19 (Tópart u. 19.), theater meets the clink of glasses and the hush before the next line lands. See you by the water.
