If a restaurant is on the next corner from your residence, it is hard to imagine that it might be unknown to you. This is the case with today's restaurant too, I have already been there. So again, I went for the safe solution.
The restaurant is in a nice building, the interior is also very nice, somewhat rustic, if you can catch my point. The waiters are nice, so the first impressions are very much OK.
The menu is long - and not only this makes it typical Hungarian. Also, the foods are a good selection of Szeged, Hungary and the world. The chefs dares to mix modern and traditional meals on the pages. The menu changes with seasons, so you can expect to something really fresh every time you visit them.
The wine selection is just perfect, you can order every wine by glass or by bottle, just as you want it. The more adventurous can go for tasting every wine in the selection: they encourage you to do it. Surprisingly, I went for the beer on brew: Gösser.
The main dish was the kick off point, some interesting thing: roasted turkey stripes with hot pasta. The combination sounds like a bachelor's creation on noon after a long night in the pub. Make a nice roasted turkey, make a tomato sauce with paprika-pepper, put it on penne. Still, as the spicing was very well chosen, it became something really interesting. It is definitely a good food, maybe just not really high class. I do not if I would order it again, but I liked it. Like the girl from the other class.
The dessert was the surprise of the week. Cheese cake with William's pear and some raisin-sauce. My god, what a masterpiece. The sponge was hard as it should be, for this type of tarte, the cream was super-light and the pear was just on the edge of vanishing, but still present. Not too sweet at all, a very light sourness of the pear and some yogurt made it near perfect. Why not fully? Because the full perfection was provided with the raisin-sauce, made with Greek raisin and some nice muscat wine.
Even without the past experiences I would say that this restaurant is an excellent one. The food is good, well-priced, the ambiance is lovely, the waiters OK. Need good food in the center of Szeged? The Szent István Restaurant should be one to think about.
