Pajta means ‘barn’, which is where the dream began for owners Flóra and Ferenc – in the small barn beside this glass-fronted restaurant. The remote setting lends itself perfectly to complete immersion in nature and the couple lean into this with everything they do, from seasonal dishes that champion the bounty of the Őrség region to wood-and-glass forest lodges set in a beautiful meadow nearby. In the kitchen you’ll find one Hungarian and one Mexican chef, and their backgrounds combine to create dishes such as a blue corn empanada filled with local sausage, dill and a sauerkraut paprikash sauce.
