We often travel to Hungary for a weekend. Usually we go to Eger and we go by car (it&#8217;s best to sleep in Zakopane or Brno, depending on your liking of curvy mountain roads). We once tried a short plane trip to Budapest \u2013 LOT airlines offered a great connection \u2013 departure on Friday after work and return on Sunday evening. Check and see if they still have this connection in their offer.<\/p>\n<p>Eger is a fairly small (56,000 inhabitants) and quite pretty town with cool old town and a castle that is home to various food and wine oriented festivals. You can buy Hungarian specialties there along with famous Egri Bikaver wine. The wine is not really a connoisseur&#8217;s choice but wine cellars in <b>Szepasszony Volgy <\/b>(The Valley of a Beautiful Lady) located a 15 minute walk from the city centre surely are a treat\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/img_3196.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"winne piwniczki w Dolinie Pi\u0119knej Pani\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/img_3196.jpg\" alt=\"winne piwniczki w Dolinie Pi\u0119knej Pani\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">wine cellars in The Valley of the Beautiful Lady<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Szepasszony Volgy is a complex of wine cellars carved in volcanic tuff that keeps the temperature ideal for wine storage. You can try the wine, eat some bread with onion or a bigger lunch in one of the nearby restaurants. Prices are moderate (or even low) and the menu is in Polish as well. There aren&#8217;t that many places where we get taken care of so well, are they? :). You can buy wine &#8220;to go&#8221;, in a traditional glass or in a plastic bottle or a bigger container. Perfect for a party! Just remember not to store it for too long as it loses its quality over time.<\/p>\n<p>The Valley is the best place to stay in Eger. You can always go for a walk to the centre of the town. We recommend <b>Kulacs Csarda Panzio<\/b>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kulacscsarda.hu\/\">http:\/\/www.kulacscsarda.hu\/<\/a>), located perfectly, with a restaurant serving great food, live music (Maks fell in love with Hungarian music), a garden and neat rooms. There was five of us so we got a beautiful little house! The breakfast, however, is nothing special. But as they say \u2013 you can&#8217;t have everything \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/img_3189.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"na mi\u0142y weekend\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/img_3189.jpg\" alt=\"na mi\u0142y weekend\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">for a nie weekend<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We decided to compensate the miserable breakfast throughout the day \ud83d\ude42 What&#8217;s there to eat in Eger?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with a soup. A <b>goulash soup <\/b>with meat and potatoes, served in a little pot is quite nutritious and a bit spicy whereas <b>halaszle<\/b> (a fisherman&#8217;s soup), a traditional Hungarian fish soup is also spicy, has great taste of peppers and delicate bits of fish inside.\u00a0 It&#8217;s delicious and warming and even a 30 degrees heat didn&#8217;t stop us from eating it compulsively\u2026<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/halaszle-e1347397024206.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"halaszle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/halaszle-e1347397024206.jpg\" alt=\"halaszle\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">halaszle<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then comes the meat \u2013 poultry, venison or goose meat\u2026 Goose liver is also quite popular and added to various dishes. The same goes for cabbage served in many different ways. I&#8217;m a big fan of all kinds of noodles such as gnocchi, dumplings, or <i>kluski \u015bl\u0105skie<\/i> so I tried P\u00f6rk\u00f6lt with <i>galuska<\/i>.
