This is our favourite bufet at the lake. Good food (burgers and our favourite pulled beef, chips, covered in cheese sauce with jalapenos(don't think it's listed on the menu) and prices. If a thunderstorm comes along magically they roll down the windows and its cosy and dry. Kids swings and slides at the back. Tomas is one of the chefs and speaks excellent English as do most of the staff.

Bufet Pri Kurtoch is the bufet right behind the apartment. Its one of our favourites, they have daily specials and usually have some Thai dishes on the specials board (they had training from a Thai chef)

A big restaurant with good prices, mostly fried food but also ribs, burgers (great chicken wings and nutella pancakes).... Live music every weekend. Around 20 minute walk from the apartment. They have a big (safe) kids outdoor play area setup like the wild west.

Perhaps the best restaurant in Senec (used to be our favourite) and with prices to match (for example a beer is €4.10). However sometimes you will wait 75 minutes for your meal and a menu that didn't change in 6 years means we no longer go there.

Noodle bar on the north side of the lake (its exactly half way around so doesnt matter which way you walk around the lake). The tables/chairs dont look great but the Chef/Food is very good.

Just 15 minutes drive is a Tiger sanctuary. It used to be free (just pay a voluntary contribution). If they have new tiger cubs you can pay (not much) and play with them. Probably best to phone to confirm/book this.

Samorin is 30 minutes drive South of Senec. You can walk/skate along the Danube river and visit X-Bionics - this is a big sports venue mainly for horses but has a nice aquapark and usually ice skating in the winter. Has a very nice Japanese restaurant called Apani.
