Cafe Maran - Siofok

I was assigned to write a review or to keep this place for me. It is really a hidden gem with some of the most colorful, well presented and thoughtful café evenings. We spent 4 days at the lake for a music festival and came here 3 out of 4 days. It was so good. Why, ask if there are only 3.5 vegan dishes on the menu? (More on this .5 in a second. The presentation is excellent, they have understood the theory about eating with our eyes first and the price is extremely reasonable. To complete it, servers are friendly and personal (and many speak English well. We had icy and hot latte with oat milk (pretty good and mango lemonade (show, but just ok). The food is the real show stopper: Beetroot Hummus with Quinoa and parsley dusted with pomegranate seeds and edible flowers and paired with thick sliced sourdough bread. We had these two days in a row and were grounded. The other delicacies are the avocado toast. Full disclosure: I never order Avocado Toast in restaurants because it is usually too easy and I have suspended ordering things in restaurants that I can do myself. But DIESER Avocado Toast, my friends... It's something special. I'll let the photo speak for myself. I will continue to order avocado toast in restaurants because I am sure that all other “avocado toasts” will be disappointing after this experience. Cherries above: They have vegan desserts that are as delicious as the food. This is Balaton's best kept secret, but book if you want to brunch on weekends.
