Macok Bisztró: Eger

Macok Bisztró:

A friend recommended Macok bistro and I am so grateful that she did! They have a changing menu based on the season so there’s always a chance to try something new. We were honestly impressed with every single order.

DECOR:

The bistro has both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outside in the courtyard because it was nice weather and a cute place to sit. They have a brick wall in the back with beautiful vines and Edison bulb lights strung throughout the garden. On the wall is a giant wheel that looks like it turned water. They also have multi-colored painted wine barrels for extra places to stand with drinks.

SERVICE:

The waiters were extremely helpful with recommendations and knew wonderful things to pair between food and drinks. Our main waiter spoke English with me and they have English menus as well.

TASTE:

My partner ordered the strawberry lemonade and he thought it was one of the best he has had. I ordered a Eger Cottage Rosé and it was crisp and just the right amount of sweet. We split the white bean soup as an appetizer and it was fantastic!

The white bean creamy based with chunks of fresh Hungarian ham and bacon bits, green onions and a foam was the perfect hearty combination to start the meal. (€6)

My partner ordered the Chicken breast supreme, with roasted ‘kápia’ paprika, thick egg flavored noodles and dollops of sour cream. I am not exaggerating when I say both of our eyes lit up after the first bites. Truly phenomenal. (€11)

I ordered a mushroom risotto and the presentation was beautifully done. The colors of the veggies on top was very surprising and the first bite told me it was like eating a delicious piece of art. (€8.5)
