IKON ranked among the top ten rural restaurants in Hungary
The Dining Guide held its Restaurant of the Year Gala Evening again this year, where the best restaurants of the year were awarded.
The goal of this year’s edition of the Dining Guide TOP100 Restaurant Guide remains to help guests navigate the increasingly diverse and constantly evolving culinary scene.

The Platán Gourmet Restaurant in Tata topped the list again this year, followed by Pajta, 42 Restaurant, and Sauska, 48 in Villány. The ninth spot on the list went to IKON Restaurant in Debrecen.

Last year, IKON ranked 10th among rural restaurants, and this year, it moved up one place.
“We’re thrilled to share that our Restaurant once again made it into the top 10 rural restaurants ranked by Dining Guide. In 2025, we secured 9th place among the very best – it’s a huge honour for us to be part of the rural culinary elite again. We thank our guests and our team for this recognition – we couldn’t have done it without you,” the restaurant shared on its Facebook page.
According to the local news portal dehir.hu, two more Debrecen restaurants are among the 100 best restaurants in the country in the overall Top 100 list: the Szomszéd Bisztró and the Next Bistro. The former ranks 81st in the Dining Guide listing, while the latter stands at 84th.
Among the top 160 hospitality venues, there’s another one from Hajdú-Bihar county: Almavirág Restaurant in Derecske.
