At Babérliget, gastronomy is an essential part of the experience — a celebration of the flavours, centuries old traditions and exceptional ingredients of the surrounding region.
The culinary experience of the house is created by the team behind Lokal at the lake in Fonyód, a restaurant recognised with two Gault&Millau toques. At the heart of Lokal are Janka Gelencsér and Richárd Csillag, whose passion and dedication define the spirit of the restaurant. Richárd, the chef, was honoured as Gault&Millau’s Young Talent of the Year 2025. His cuisine combines outstanding regional produce with a contemporary fine bistro approach, creating dishes that are rooted in the landscape while expressing creativity and refinement.
They provide our guests with a thoughtful farm-to-table breakfast, dinner and, upon request, lunch — each created with carefully selected local ingredients and a deep respect for seasonality. Smaller weddings held in Babérliget are catered with the same pioneering spirit of this excellent restaurant of the region.
For larger weddings and celebrations, our gastronomic partner is Budapest Party Service catering company, operated under the umbrella of Semsei Gastronomy group, bringing more than twenty years of experience in catering and event hospitality.
The Gastronomy group is an ambassador of providing the highest standards of hospitality within its popular restaurant chain Vakvarjú and Dobay confectionaries. The menus of their restaurants as well as their catering and party service entreprise range from refined interpretations of traditional Hungarian cuisine to elegant French-inspired creations, allowing each celebration to be tailored to the character and wishes of our guests.
