Restaurants in Northwestern Hungary

  1. A

    Jégverem

    This rustic pension restaurant, whose slogan is 'The Restaurant for Guzzle-guts' (we think they mean 'greedy-guts'), serves a huge selection of reasonably priced Hungarian dishes, some of them quite inventive, in portions that are enormous even by Hungarian standards. If you want to skip breakfast and lunch tomorrow, eat here tonight. And order the half-portions (where available).

    Cézár Pince

    In a medieval cellar in a historical building off Orsolya tér, 'Caesar's Cellar' is the best place in Sopron for an inexpensive lunch or light meal. The platter of sausages and salad attracts locals; chase it with a glass of Soproni Kékfrankos (a red) or a young white Zöldveltelini. There's courtyard seating in summer.

    Veszti

    It hardly serves what you'd call haute gourmande food, but this jack-of-all-trades eatery, on an atmospheric old riverboat on the Mosoni-Danube River, has everything from Hungarian mains to pizza and Tex-Mex. It attracts a fun crowd and the service is right on the ball.

    Szürkebarát Borozó

    This is a decent wine cellar-restaurant in a small courtyard, where you'll also find a small kiosk selling very popular ice cream for 100Ft per scoop. The restaurant also does breakfast (350 Ft to 600Ft) and there's a set menu at lunch (530Ft).

    Komédiás

    A very upscale cellar eatery decorated in postmodern greys and blacks, the 'Comedian' is opposite the Béla Bartók Cultural Centre. It has courtyard seating, which is a delight in the warmer months, and there are good-value set menus.

    Forum

    This popular spot is great in the warmer months when tables spread out into a courtyard between two Inner Town streets. It serves the whole range, but we'd stick to pizza, pasta dishes and/or the self-serve salad bar.

    Várkapu

    Overlooking the Carmelite church, this is a charming little eatery, particularly when dining is available on the terrace. It has a limited but excellent menu of Hungarian favourites.

    Liszt Szalon

    Very stylish indeed is this new/old (just opened/ancient building) café serving a wide range of hot chocolates (with chilli, anyone?) as well as teas and coffees.

    Corso

    In the Korona shopping arcade next to the Pannónia Med Hotel, this place serves above-average Hungarian fare. Its two-course set menus are excellent value.

    Zorba's Ételbár

    This fast-food eatery serves passable gyros as well as burgers till the wee - for Sopron - hours, and there's a sitting area just opposite by the road.

    Zita Süteménybolt

    For something sweet don't go by this window dispensing cakes and pastries. It's so popular that people sometimes have to queue up along the footpath.

    Ristorante Romantica

    The name might be hyperbole but the RR is a lovely restaurant just down from the river, with superb Italian food and an eye for detail.

    Papa Joe's Saloon & Steak House

    If you're feeling ravenous (but don't fancy Hungarian at the Jégverem), head to Joe's for a steak or some passable Tex-Mex.

    Várkapu Café

    This old world-style coffeehouse is excellent for both cakes and coffee, and a relaxing oasis from the summer crowds.

    Generális-Corvinus

    With its café tables on the Inner Town's main square, the GC is a great place for a pizza in the warmer months.

    Dömöröri

    The queues lining up to get ice cream or a table here testify to the quality of its products. Don't miss out!

    Márka

    A modernised cafeteria and a good choice for a cheap self-service meal in the centre of town.
