Pécs Restaurants

  1. Áfium

    With Croatia and Serbia so close, it's a wonder that more restaurants don't concentrate, as Áfium does, on cuisine from south of the border. But no matter, this restaurant will fulfil most diners searching for such tastes. The food is better than average and the atmosphere decidedly relaxed, while the décor could easily double as the set for Steptoe & Son. If you've eaten elsewhere, Áfium is just as good for a quiet drink.

  2. Aranyfolyó

    The two Chinese dragons guarding the door of this restaurant are a dead giveaway to the cuisine on offer, which includes all the standards from the land many miles to the east.

  3. Aranykacsa

    Aranykacsa may have dropped its pretentiousness a couple of notches, but it still takes pride in its silver service and sports a menu with the likes of duck liver with caviar, and pheasant roast accompanied by green salad.

  10. Mecsek

    There's an ongoing debate in Pécs over which cukrászda (cake shop) serves better cakes and ice cream: the Mecsek, near the old Nádor hotel, or the Virág (72 313 793; Irgalmasok utcája). The best bet is to try them both.
