For pasta lovers: Pastas from three cultures on a summer afternoon in Eger
For one evening, we are bringing the most exciting pasta dishes of Italian, Hungarian and Asian cuisine to Eger. For many, pasta is true comfort food: it can be light, characterful, familiar or even exotic. Sometimes a tomato-and-basil Mediterranean dish feels just right, other times we long for familiar Hungarian flavours, and on some days, a spicy Asian noodle dish prepared in a wok creates the perfect mood.
On 27 June, this is exactly the diversity we would like to showcase. As part of a summer gastronomy afternoon, pasta dishes from three different cultures will take centre stage: Italian, Hungarian and Asian flavours, freshly prepared, in a pleasant atmosphere, in Eger.
Pasta from Three Worlds, at One Table
Many people love Italian or Asian cuisine, but authentic and exciting pasta dishes are not always easy to find locally. This weekend, however, we will show the world of pasta from a slightly different perspective: instead of choosing just one direction, we will evoke three different gastronomic cultures in a single afternoon.
Italian-inspired dishes bring the Mediterranean way of life to the table: tomato, basil, parmesan, light yet rich flavours. These are the dishes that almost instantly make us think of a sunny terrace, a glass of wine and a carefree summer atmosphere.
The Hungarian-style pasta variation presents familiar local flavours in a reimagined form. Familiar foundations, a homely character, yet served in a fresh, contemporary way — nostalgic and exciting at the same time.
The Asian-inspired pasta represents a more energetic, spicier direction: with wok-style character, crunchy vegetables, exotic spices and aromas. It is a dish full of freshness, colour and the exciting harmony so typical of Asian cuisine.
Summer Atmosphere, Terrace Experience and Freshly Served Dishes
We would like to make the most of every moment of good summer weather, so the atmosphere of the event will be light, relaxed and terrace-like. Freshly served, steaming pasta dishes will be accompanied by pleasant surroundings, good conversations and a truly summery afternoon.
We are not thinking in terms of a fixed, formal menu, but rather a freer, more relaxed gastronomic experience. Guests can choose from the à la carte selection, so everyone can taste the dishes that best suit their own taste and mood.
A Mediterranean classic? A Hungarian favourite reimagined? Or perhaps an Asian noodle dish with crunchy vegetables? On this afternoon, all of them have a place at the table.
Naturally, Eger wines will also play an important role alongside the pasta dishes. Carefully selected wine pairings make the flavours even more complete and instantly set the tone for the weekend: light, flavourful, summery and carefree.
Freshly Cooked — Live Pasta Show on the Terrace
One of the most spectacular parts of the afternoon will be the live pasta show. On Saturday, 27 June 2026, between 13:00 and 15:00, our chefs will prepare the special pasta dish of the day outdoors, while the aroma of fresh ingredients fills the terrace.
A live cooking station always adds something extra to a meal. It is a different experience to taste a dish while also seeing how it is made: how freshly prepared pasta takes shape, how ingredients are added to the pan, and how spices, sauces and flavours slowly come together into one harmonious dish.
Quality ingredients, fresh pasta and the character of Italian, Hungarian or Asian flavours meet in this culinary experience. The pasta show can be chosen as an addition to the daily menu — and we especially recommend it to those who enjoy meals that are not only delicious, but also spectacular and memorable.
An Afternoon That Can Easily Become a Weekend Getaway
A gastronomic programme like this is already a wonderful summer experience on its own, but why should it end after just one afternoon? Make the event even more memorable and combine the world of pasta with a relaxing weekend in Eger.
At Imola Hotel Platán, the gastronomic experience can be complemented by wellness, sauna and spa services. After a pleasant afternoon of tasting pasta, a little bathing, sauna time or relaxation in the hotel’s peaceful spaces can feel especially good.
The next day, relaxation can continue with the charming streets of Eger, local wines or even a slow, comfortable breakfast.
Whether you arrive with your partner, friends or family members, this summer programme is a great opportunity to step away from everyday life. An afternoon where fresh pasta, the atmosphere of the terrace, Eger wines and summer lightness come together to create the experience.
Three Pasta Cultures in Eger — Don’t Miss It
The Italian way of life, the homely character of Hungarian cuisine and the excitement of Asian flavours meet in Eger for one afternoon. Fresh pasta dishes, a spectacular pasta show, à la carte choices, Eger wines and a pleasant terrace atmosphere await guests.
Date: Saturday, 27 June 2026
Live pasta show: between 13:00 and 15:00
Location: Imola Hotel Platán, Eger
It is worth booking a table in advance, because the Italian way of life, freshly prepared pasta and the summer terrace atmosphere always disappear quickly.
