If you’ve never loved chocolate before, KakasBonbon is the place that will change your mind. Just follow the weathercock.

A treat for all your senses

You might not expect a magical chocolate experience among the rolling hills of Zala near Lake Balaton — but it’s true!

At KakasBonbon in Felsőpáhok, every bonbon transports you to distant lands while celebrating local flavors. The chocolate shell gently cracks, the filling melts in your mouth. Everything you need for an unforgettable tasting.

The story of the weathercock & chocolate

The story of KakasBonbon began over 15 years ago when János Szabó and Andrea Tésenyi left their old lives behind and found a new calling in chocolate-making. The iconic weathercock originally perched atop a farmhouse in Máriagyűd, now serves as their symbol and guide in the world of chocolate. The family’s journey took them from Máriagyűd to Sopron, and finally to Felsőpáhok — much to the delight of locals and visitors alike.

Today, their workshop and “bonbon apothecary” welcome chocolate lovers from near and far.

A special gift for pairing flavors

Andrea is the creative force behind the chocolates. Beyond mastering the craft, she possesses a refined sense for pairing flavors and designing memorable forms. For her, making bonbons is less a job and more a form of meditation.

Prunes, pumpkin seed & apple, yuzu — and more

KakasBonbon offers over 70 flavors, though not all are available year-round. The selection changes with the seasons, ensuring every bonbon is fresh and its aromas at their peak. In harvest season, grape flavors take the spotlight. Winter brings rich cocoa creations, while summer features citrus and berries.

Andrea also crafts milk and dark chocolate bars, hot chocolate bombs, and festive shapes for special occasions. All chocolates share the same pure foundation: select single-origin cacao beans, cream (or a lactose-free alternative), and natural fruit or spice essences. The cacao is sourced from diverse regions — Italy, France, Spain, Vietnam, South America — while the fillings highlight local ingredients. Their recipes are clean and simple, as are their elegant decorations.

Visit the weathercock in Felsőpáhok!

At their Felsőpáhok home, you’ll find a shop, workshop, terrace, and cellar — a perfect setting to taste their creations and meet the makers.

You can also join Bor & Bonbon events, where chocolates are paired with carefully selected wines, creating either a delightful evening or an extraordinary journey of flavors.

PROTESTANT CHURCH PROTESTANT CHURCH For many years, neither the Calvinist nor the Lutheran communities in Hévíz had a dedicated place of worship. From the 1920s, services were held in private homes, the Cultural Hall of the Spa Hospital, or the small auditorium of the local cinema.
Tourinform Office Hévíz Tourinform Office Hévíz The Tourinform Office is one of the most important information points for visitors to Hévíz, where guests receive up-to-date information about the city's programs, attractions and services.
Roman-era Ruin Garden Roman-era Ruin Garden In the Egregy district of Hévíz, one of the most important Roman-era discoveries of the Balaton region was unearthed: a nearly 1,000 m² stone villa built around AD 100. With its columned portico and bathing pools, it reflects the advanced bathing culture of the time. The villa and its surroundings were inhabited for centuries and, after several reconstructions, survived until the early 5th century. Excavations also revealed a Mithras sanctuary, economic buildings, and early coins – all suggesting that the Romans settled near the miraculous lake not only for economic but also for spiritual and medicinal purposes.
