Precision from the Region
István Akács leads Pajta’s kitchen with a thoughtful, precise approach shaped by seasonality, excellent ingredients and the Őrség landscape. His experience in top European and Scandinavian restaurants gives the cooking technical discipline, while the region gives it purpose. Together with Yazmin Salazar, he builds a cuisine that is contemporary, balanced and personal, using local products, organic ingredients and wild mushrooms with care. For István, dinner begins long before the first course: in the producer relationships, the forest walks and the decisions that shape each menu.
“At Pajta, the guest is always at the heart of the experience. The evening belongs to them.”
Pajta
Pajta is a Michelin-starred destination restaurant in Őriszentpéter, surrounded by the forests, meadows and villages of the Őrség National Park. Opened in 2012 with only four tables, it has grown into an internationally recognised address while keeping a personal relationship with its guests. The kitchen is led by István Akács and Yazmin Salazar, whose shared work brings Hungarian ingredients together with subtle Mexican influences. With Kástu cabins nearby, Pajta offers a full experience built around gastronomy and nature.
