Local Ingredients, Responsible Sourcing

• Supporting local producers and suppliers: We are committed to incorporating products from local and regional suppliers into our culinary offerings. One of our valued partners is the Szimbiózis Foundation, which provides employment opportunities for several hundred people with reduced work capacity and has recently been awarded the Social Farm certification mark. Through this partnership, we support the Foundation's valuable work while offering our guests delicious dishes prepared with high-quality local ingredients.
• Discovering the flavours of the forest: Our hotel is a proud supporter of the Edible Forest initiative. Through our Gastro Express forest excursions and Edible Forest themed dinners, we introduce our guests to carefully sourced, locally gathered forest ingredients, some of which come from the immediate surroundings of Lillafüred. These experiences celebrate the distinctive flavours of the Bükk region and encourage a deeper appreciation of nature's seasonal offerings.
• Responsibly sourced regional beef: We purchase our beef from a family-run business in the region, where the animals are raised outdoors for most of the year. They are fed with home-grown, guaranteed GMO-free feed produced on the farm's own land. The producer places particular emphasis on animal welfare, responsible farming practices and ethical animal husbandry, with respect for both animals and the natural environment.
• Unique drinks inspired by local nature: Our signature alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, created in collaboration with syrup designer Évi Gyulai, have become especially popular among our guests. A defining ingredient in these creations is Évi's handcrafted syrups, made from fruits and forest ingredients that she personally gathers, processes or cultivates on her family's three-hectare farm. Today, guests can enjoy not only her artisanal products but also our own exclusive range of branded syrups, developed together with Évi and with the enthusiastic involvement of our hotel team. The recipes are the result of our shared creativity and commitment to authentic local flavours.
• Sunday artisan markets: Every Sunday, we provide local producers and artisans with an opportunity to showcase and offer their products at our hotel, helping to strengthen connections between our guests and the local community.
• Wines from our region: Our wine list features selections from the Bükk and Tokaj-Hegyalja wine regions. To introduce our guests to these distinctive wines and the people behind them, we regularly organise wine tastings and presentations in our atmospheric wine cellar, with the participation of local winemakers.
