Vali's Alpine Restaurant

Top choice


Hungarian specialties such as cabbage rolls, chicken paprika, beef kabobs and schnitzel are all excellent here; there's a set menu item each night (with a mix of options on Fridays). Do not miss dessert. Credit cards are not accepted, and reservations are required.

This has been a long-time Eastern Oregon favorite and it continues to uphold it's reputation year after year.
