The 17 best cheap eats in Pecs

The food was really nice! The decoration inside was very atmospheric but we sat outside. Unfortunately on hearing we were speaking in English the two outdoor waiters had a gossip about us which wasn’t pleasant. My other half is Hungarian and proceeded to inform them not to assume anything about us. Their attitude soon changed and service was pleasant and attentive.

Outside terrace is nice as inside felt so hot, staff are active and quick, strawberry lemonade was fresh and good, food is good , cooked well but prices high comparing to the meals sizes, shashlik was good but vegetables were more than meet and side dish potato didn’t taste fresh

My husband and I were looking for a place to sit on a terrace. We thought this restaurant didn't have a terrace, but we happened to walk past and found out they had a terrace in the passage. And we're glad we did. The food is excellent.

Be careful with the portions, even the regular is generous! Creative and delicious foods in a fairy tail like environment in the middle of historic downtown. Try it and you will love both the scent and the looks. Upperscale pricing but you get what you pay for.

Simply perfect, I definitely recommend it to anyone. The athmosphere in the restaurant is great. On the table, peantus is served and you can eat it as much as you want. Leftovers can be trashed to the floor, because it is used as food for the animals. Food was really tasty and something I have never tried. My recommendation is to order something from “The dishes of the house” section. I had Kacsa mesék (duck tails with strawberry sauce), and Moszkvicssluszkulcs was also great. Prices are more than reasonable for quality of the food and there is no additional or hidden fee charged on the bill. You just pay 450 HUF per person as a fee (for couvert, or peanuts as they have it written).

Stopped to have a late lunch/early dinner. Had this hangover cabbage soup (even tho I wasn't hangovered xD) and omgg it was very-very good! Didn't need any main course anymore xD 100% recommended if you are into soups. P.S. Also this place is hilarious (check the photo spotted in the toilet).

The atmosphere is great, it gives medieval vibes as everything is made out of dark wood and it has straw on the floor. The peanuts are a cherry on top! If you want to experience something unique with great good, this is the place to go ☺️

I had the pleasure of dining at Blöff Bisztró, and it was easily one of the highlights of my stay. The setting is relaxed yet stylish, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. I ordered the Orada (grilled sea bream), and it exceeded my expectations. The fish was fresh, beautifully grilled, and topped with a vibrant green herb sauce that brought the dish to life. It was served with fresh, crusty bread and a simple side of greens and lemon — clean, balanced, and satisfying. The plate was beautifully presented and full of flavor. If you’re looking for a delicious seafood experience in a cozy, welcoming spot, I highly recommend Blöff Bisztró. I’ll definitely be back!

Just stay in this beautiful city for one night and I’m so grateful to find this restaurant with good food, good vibe and friendly staffs. The beef cheek is so nice that I wanted to order again. The squid is also fresh and nice.

Without a doubt the nicest place I’ve eaten in my visit to Hungary. In fact, it was nicer than many meals I’ve had outside of it. The meat was very well cooked and the flavours worked really well. Nice views…small suggestion though, for anyone with sensory issues, maybe don’t sit near the door outside because anyone who steps onto it will shake your chair (every time).

Overall an experience as expected, not better, not worse. Location and atmosphere was nice, food was ok. End of duck breast was too fatty and could have been overall more crispy. The knife wasn't a steak knife, so it was quite difficult to cut the breasts. Shrimp was fine(ish), had better garlic shrimp before. Personally, felt too oily. Perhaps the best meal was "Vadas". Very tender meat and nice overall harmony of flavours. Service forgot to supply fork and needed to ask, but they provided one promptly. It was quite difficult to find the menu online as the link here directs to a non-existent website (paholyetterem.hu), the functional one is paholypecs.hu

We sat on the terrace, it was very pleasant. The food was great, including the dessert. Service was excellent, both waiter were super polite and helpful.

Outstanding service! The food was amazing, and huge portions. Fantastic outdoor seating with great people watching. Highly recommend 🇨🇦

We arrived at the last minute just before the kitchen closed, yet they still kindly prepared us dinner. The food was exceptionally delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

We really enjoyed the food here, they have a special type of pizza base which is excellent. The salad was the best we have had in Hungary so far!

Főtér Bistro Bar is a real find and we absolutely recommend it to everyone visiting the city centre. The combination of location, quality of offerings, and service is truly exceptional. Dream Location: The bar is situated in a fantastic location, offering a view that stretches directly over the main square. There is no better place to sip a coffee or a drink while watching the city bustle. Winning Offerings: While the drink selection is solid, the absolute highlight is their homemade lemonades. We can confidently say that these are perhaps the most delicious lemonades we have ever tasted! Also, for colder days, the hot chocolate is excellent and a real treat. Comfort and Service: The atmosphere is very pleasant. The owners have thought of everything—it's truly great that blankets and a heating lamp are provided at every table. This allows guests to enjoy the terrace for longer, regardless of the outside temperature. The service is super—the staff is friendly, fast, and attentive, which completes the positive experience.

I ordered mangalica steak and was dissapointed. The meat tasted good but the size was a joke, much smaller than usuall “steak”, especially for the price. On the other hand my girlfriend ordered some kind of cheeks and the meat was great, it melts in your mouth. Stil If I had to choose I would not go here again.

The food was good and the service was friendly but it took very long to receive our food. They had blankets and heating lamps on each table. Location is also great!

Due to it’s location on the main square I was a bit apprehensive, but Főtér turned out to be great. I had the wild boar rib steak and it was delicious. Recommended!

The lemonades were actually pretty good, but that’s where the positives end. The place wasn’t busy at all, but we still waited around 40 minutes. The “pizza” was dry and tiny, and the pasta was CRAZY salty. On the bright side, the staff was friendly, so there’s that.

2nd Visit here. This time for the palinka so any quality in this review is lost among all the dead brain cells. But the interior is nice Nd the palinka varieties nice as well. Maybe too much stock photos on the walls. Avoid the corner table when it rains because the AC will kill you.

This was such a brilliant dining experience in Pécs. I was here visiting the university (also very nice) and this was highly rated. We asked our server what his favorite local dish was and he said the catfish stew with cottage cheese noodles. It was brilliant! If you can handle heat get the tomato peppers which are super spicy and added a nice kick to the dish. Would recommend it!

The atmosphere is good, the food portion is quite good, the prices are reasonable and not expensive. And the beer was so good the crafted one and the cherry (the cherry one doesn't have the usual cherry bitter taste) On the other hand, the rice was a bit not well cooked, and we had to wait a bit more than usual for the food, (if it's not the daily menu).

Not a fancy restaurant but the food is delicious! Stopped twice. Once, I had a goulash soup with beans. Didn't need anything more after because it was huge XD

Great authentic Hungarian restaurant in central location! They serve an affordable daily lunch menu until 3 pm (soup + main dish). The dinner portions are larger than the lunch menu portions. We took half of our meals home after dinner. Everything was well cooked, seasoned and presented. The pricing besides the lunch menu is OK but I wouldn't say it's cheap. Note, that sides are ordered for additional charge. They accept credit cards. Customers pay their bill at the bar.

Amazing restaurant! Location is good, easy to locate. Spacious family restaurant with high chair for kids. The food was delicious absolutely authentic Hungarian food. We ordered Salmon Steak, Beef Stake, Risotto and Pasta. The portions were so big that one person couldn’t finish one full plate. The waitress was humble and extremely polite. I will come back here again when I am in Pècs.

great food, very nice atmosphere and friendly staffs 👌🏻 high quality with good price

The portions are perfect (BIG) and the chestnuts dessert is exactly טורטית !!!!!

The need for palinka outweigh the need for service. But if you enjoy a staff talking at the bar, not knowing who works there or who's their friends, then this place is the best. And if you want to feel that you annoy them by even stepping in the door the go for it.

The food was extremely disappointing after a long waiting time . The Chicken asparagus looked and tasted like it was homemade with low quality products, won’t recommend to eat here. The view to the Pécsi National theater is nice though.

Local food, good variety of wines, local wine, local beer, palinka - national spirit drink

Waitresses unpleasant from the first moment and unwilling to work. The bar was supposed to be open until 1:00 in the morning, and an hour and a half before that, they refused to make us a second drink. Nevertheless, the other table still got a drink. Cocktails were not much. I don't recommend it just because of the service, which will spoil your mood for the whole evening.

Amazing place close to the Szinhaz! Good priced menus!

Loved this place, a bit far from the center, but that makes it better. Super kind service, great food.

Fantastic restaurant, prices are reasonable, staff is excellent and friendly, dishes are delicious.

Really cool terrace bar with a fairly decent grill menu. Cheap beer and great atmosphere make this a place you can hang out at all evening! Also, surprisingly, the DJ wasn’t awful!

Nice terrace with beautiful view, and more or less that's all. Maybe the better time for visiting this place is evening ( maybe latter is better). For late Sunday lunch wasn't a best choice. Food is bad quality, portions are poor, and expense. However it is far away for good decision to eat there. There are much better places for eating in Pécs. A big minus here are wasps who are dangerous if you are eating a meat meal.

The place is amazing, especially at night. You feel like entering different world. The beer is good and same is valid for the BBQ. If you are looking for a place to relax after dinner this is the perfect one also.

Great place to hang out, drink and eat. I think our waiter was overworked or had too much to deal with on his own ? but otherwise a good service.

Overall its a very good place to chill relax and have fun. However, not sure what the employees have been through each day but they tend to be very disrespectful to the customers especially non-hungarian people. There are some who are nice and some who are really disrespectful, not being able to talk nicely with their customers and not being able to even kindly ask for certain permission for example turning off the TV while customers are watching. No doubt a very good place to dine but atleast have some respect to others who are non-hungarian as well.....

Nice beer garden. But also perfect for dining and having a good glass of wine. The perfect spot to enjoy the evening with friends and definitely the best option you can get to watch a soccer game im the upcoming World Championship.

The waiter who is a male ,,was very rude with me and my friends on top of that we bought food for 1 person the three of us because we wanted to share a plate and we even confirmed this with him ,then he made us pay 3 times the price which was littterally unfair and scam,If you are an international don’t go to this place they will treat you

It has a cozy atmosphere if you would like to spend some time with a friend and have a conversation without being disturbed, drinks are not bad , service is good

Friendly barmen, lovely street tables, and tasty local beer!

Really cool bar with a lovely garden. Wide selection of drinks and 4 type of local beer on tap.

There is one floor which one includes living rooms. There has a backyard. It’s really good atmosphere and self service!

The cocktails are way better than they were 2 years ago. Pornstar martini was amazing!!

We always come to this bar when we are in Pecs. We like the vibe and the drinks

Very cool café with a nice alternative drink menu

Typical Hungarian food with very good quality and quantity. Excellent service. Cosy ambience just walking distance from Pecs city center. Would definitely recommend, and for sure we would come back if we were to come again in town!

Very good Babgulyas! Quite cheap in comparison to the other restaurants in the area and really cosy. Very nice host and delicious food! The ambience is great as well! 1800 one Babgulyas with meat and beans. Would recommend it to everyone!

If you want traditional Hungarian food in Pecs - look no further than this little gem. Just off the main strip (with its typical array of tourist-luring menus and terraces), Istvan Cellar is an unassuming restaurant/pub who provide quality, friendly and rapid service, and the food was awesome. 100% recommend!

This is such an amazing authentic experience. Food was phenomenal, we had bean goulash and gypsy roast. Atmosphere and decor were welcoming.

The best bean goulash in pecs, good old vibe place has not changed because it does not have to. Must visit for great Hungarian food. The staff is very friendly and accommodating!

Absolutely amazing! Best authentic Hungarian food, in a small traditional tucked away setting. Extremely great service, meals and prices. So happy we found this place :)

We had perfect goulash with bread, amazing atmosphere with old vibes. Very kind servise and other people. We don't speak Hungarian but one man help us with order 😃 Great place you must visit 👌

Great authentic local pub.

(Translated by Google) Good place, polite service! Normal prices! (Original) Jó hely, udvarias kiszolgálás! Normális árak!

very nice place, we ordered some gyros and the food was great. the staff speaks english, which is rare here. we stayed in there for a little while waiting for the rain to end and they ended up giving us free coffee and tea, very kind of them

The best gyros in town, specially because it's from turkey. The staff is kind and has a great view of the street.

Great food, cheapest on the main street and very friendly staff. Visited multiple times on our stay and it was great every time. Well done guys. 5 star

Very good kebab.

It was a really good place before, but when recently we ate here it was not the best.😥 Won't come back.

(Translated by Google) I've been to this place several times, at one time more often, and I've always received kind and polite service. :) I usually ask for double gyros, with zero soda, you usually made things according to my taste! I visited just today, but unfortunately, due to the loose "prices", I will now visit this place less often. :( You could see from the conditions, from the "signs" that you are a place that has seen better days, it's sad... Even on a summer weekday (today), during the 15-20 minutes I was there, I didn't see a single guest coming in (oh well , the shopkeeper next door) besides me, I think it's telling, I saw customers come in at peak ages during the shorter time I was there... :( However, the most important thing is that I was able to eat and still eat good food... That's why I got the 5*!! ! (Original) Többször jártam már ezen a helyen, egy időben sűrűbben is, mindig is kedves, udvarias kiszolgálás fogadott. :) Dupla gyros-t szoktam kérni, zéró üdítővel, az én ízlésemnek megfelelően készítettétek általában a dolgokat! Épp ma is jártam, de az elszabadult "árfekvés" miatt sajnos most már csak ritkábban fogom ezt a helyet látogatni. :( Látszott a körülményeken, a "jeleken", hogy szebb napokat látott hely vagytok, szomorú... Hogy még nyári hétköznapon (ma) az alatt a 15-20 perc alatt, amíg ott voltam, egyetlen betérő vendéget sem láttam (na jó, a szomszédos boltost) rajtam kívül, szerintem árulkodó, csúcskorotokban láttam betérni abban a szűkebb időközben is vásárlókat, amíg ott tartózkodtam éppen... :( Mindennél fontosabb azonban, hogy jókat fogyaszthattam és fogyaszthatok is... Ezért jár az 5*!!!

Good clean restaurant . Had a gyros plate today, it has a hint of cumin in it which is not part of the original Arabic or Turkish recipes..meat quality was good and salad and fries were fresh..good spot for students 👍

The meat was dry definitely not fresh. Instead of chicken they use turkey. I asked for rice as a side and was given the paper plate without any side.

Tasty food for a normal price. The staff is usually nice and the gyros and hamburger gets ready really fast.

It was called for Aladin Gyros in the beginning now it's Repeta. When do I get back to the city from abroad my first thing is visiting my fav place.

I ordered a gyros plate, but the meat was pretty chewy, in my opinion. Not the best gyros place in town.

Its a super fast fast food gyros falafel pizzeria. one of the best falafel in pécs. hoghly recommend to try it.

Excellent service and excellent value food , new deco does the place well . Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The best rétes, pogácsa and cappuccino in the city, even the country.

Good place to eat very reasonable pricing plenty of choice of Hungarian food. Beer fair price for center of the city, staff friendly and helpful will visit again.

It is cheap and you can find good meals usually. The environment is clean and normal. The foods are often repeating but the menu contains much to select from every day.

Great food for a good price. Lots of choice. We prefer to go here for takeaways. Venue itself isnt very inviting to eat.

Love the food, nice serving sizes, and great prices to boot! Homey folk food, good variety, and there's always special for lunch. It's a bit pricier than other options nearby, but it's hard to come out dissatisfied from here. The lines that form here are a testament to their quality. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

A friendly restaurant in the heart of Pécs. You can choose from a variety of meals. If you are on a diet this place is also good for you.

Best in Pécs to eat lunch. Fresh and clean place and tasty food. Value for the money.

(Translated by Google) Döner takeaway. The pita from yesterday (or when it was made) was heated over the fire. Of course, the finished döner pita was dry. A tip: Don't go or order too early, then you might get a freshly baked pita. (Original) Döner elvitelre. A tegnapi (vagy kitudja mikor készült) pitát melegítették meg a tűz felett. Természetesen a elkészült döner pitája száraz volt. Egy jótanács : Ne menjetek vagy rendeljetek túl korán, akkor lehet, hogy frissen sült pitát kaptok.

(Translated by Google) Good pizzas, normal waiters - that's enough for a pizzeria. (Original) Jó pizzák, normális pincérek - ennyi elég is egy pizzériaba.

(Translated by Google) Perhaps the finest dürüm in Pécs is made here. (Original) Pécsett talán a legfinomabb dürümöt itt készítik.

(Translated by Google) Acceptable prices, tolerable things, nice waitresses (Original) Elfogadható ár tűrhető izek kedves pincérnők

(Translated by Google) It is closed on Sunday!!!!!! (Original) Vasarnap zárva van!!!!!!

Very bad experience. Purchased a '1 szemelyes bőség tál' and a pizza, delivered by Foodpanda. The pizza was simple dreadful. From the other meal, there were missing things, like the bacon or the onion. I do not recommend.

Fancy place. Good service. The rice was undercooked, unfortunately.

Good pizza. Nice terrace. You should be prepared for extra charging for service.

For a practically downtown restaurant, the prices are surprisingly budget friendly, and the portions are generous. Also surprisingly, they're open during their business hours, including Sundays - unfortunately, it really is kind of a big deal.

The food was tasty, however we received half of our order a bit cold. They offer draught beer but they have been ran out on a friday afternoon. Apart from these I'm still satisfied.

Food would be ok, but they are etremely slow. Two and a half hours for 4 pizza, while they indicated 70 mins in the app (Netpincer). No call, no info... Annoying,

Waiter is very attentive and happy to help. Great cocktails. Food was okay-ish but was price worthy

Staff can't speak a word of English. Should have more customer friendly staff as its located right next to an international university.

Usually not too crowded. Speaking of crowd, there're usually crows outside looking to steal your fries... it's part of the magic;)

Excellent food restaurant very busy staff helpful and friendly and efficient did not have to wait long. Will visit again

I stop here practically every time I'm in town. Right by Route 6, it's easy to get to, though the way out through Aldi's parking lot is set up kinda stupidly. The drive-through gets backed up around lunchtime, they usually sort that out quickly. (May2021) You need your vaccine card to eat in.

Never again. Lousy service and bad experience overall.

To be honest, stuff was a bit slower...everything was like in some slowmotion...but that was understandable! I have visited this Burger King at about 23h, and working time was till midnight. So, there was a long day behind stuff and understandable, they was a little bit, hm, sleepy ☺️. I am looking forward to visit this Burger King again, in some 'proper' time ☺️

Nice staff. It's your usual fast food restaurant - little hectic when busy, but you can grab something up for a quick bite. (Would be a lifesaver if it was open a bit more during the night though..)

Good service, good food.

A lovely little spot, great food, cold beer.

Good atmosphere on the wooden patio, surrounded by trees, especially at night. The pizzas are quite remarkable for such a small place, but their other dishes aren't that spectacular. The wait staff has some attitude, but as long as you're there for their pizza and the patio, and not nothing else, it's enjoyable.

Great dishes and rich topping pizzas on affordable prices, some 5 kind of good draught beers. The staff is kind helpful and funny. The serving takes some time so prepare with beers... The terrasse is convenient. The place is in the middle of the local's neighbourhood so you can get quite authentic contemporary feeling (which isn't unique rather simple)

It's a pizzeria, coffee and bar. There is also table football and other game machines. But, the ambient is pretty poor and cheep. The staff is almost unfriendly...

Terrible place! We waited almost an hour, only to find out that our order wasn't even delivered to the kitchen! Overpriced beverages, crowded tables, negligent, rude and somewhat drunk staff. Never come here

Great staff in the konyas especially Gregory. Drink prices are 🆗

I love this pizza, came 20:50, really hungry, this lady told me really impolite that they will not serve any pizza because it’s closed. Here it says it closes 21:00, then write also 20:50. Now I’m hungry and really disappointed Update: pizza today was to tasty, have to give 5star again

Very good pizza for about 3k huf. Super thin crusts though, but still very filling. Great place to hangout, there’s big seating area downstairs as well as a ping pong table.

We loved both the pizza & the atmosphere.

Pizza was amazing! Staff was nice, and the prices are very affordable.

This place truly gives off an authentic Italian vibe. I personally love the interior, the pleasant and friendly atmosphere, the staff, and the spacious dining rooms. While this already looks good, the food takes it even further. The menu is simple yet diverse, and you will certainly find your pick. As the name suggests, this is a pizza place, and they definitely do justice to it because the pizza is great, the quantity also, and the price is really competitive (probably the best price-value ratio in the city). If you crave a good Italian pizza, you shouldn't miss Pizzaklub.

Best pizza in town and amazing prices! The prices alone are worth going there but the staff is also so friendly. Really recommend and worth supporting! Little remark: It would make a lot of people including me so happy if there would be at least one vegan option/pizza!

Great Pizza, thx guys.🍕
