Reggeli on our ground floor
We think it's the best breakfast place in town, and you don't even have to step out of the gate. Reggeli describes itself as a food and cultural community space, with sustainable hospitality as its goal. Alongside the regular favourites there's a changing menu. The coffee is made by baristas from light-roast, single-origin beans, and there's fresh juice and homemade cordial too.
Reggeli is an independent restaurant: breakfast is not included in the room price.
Irem kertje 6 min
A café on Széchenyi tér, next to the Janus Pannonius Museum. Its name, Garden of Irem, comes from the Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi, who compared Pécs to Irem, the garden of Paradise. In the inner courtyard there's a yew, an almond tree, a plane tree and a weeping beech, plus a lapidarium of Roman stones. The furnishings and the food reflect the region's Turkish heritage. In good weather you can have your coffee in the courtyard.

Kossuth Kisvendéglő 2 min
On the same street, at Király utca 35. They cook Central European home-style food: traditional dishes of the Carpathian Basin and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, not reinvented, just done well. The name comes from the street's past: between 1930 and 1991 Király utca was named after Lajos Kossuth.
It's a small place with only a few tables, so it's worth booking ahead.
Mandala Restaurant a few minutes
A vegan and vegetarian restaurant on Perczel Miklós utca, in a townhouse built in the 1910s and under local heritage protection. In their own words, they cook from clean, real ingredients. One example from the menu: a vegan version of túrós csusza, the Hungarian pasta with curd cheese. They have a special offer for students.
István Pince 2 min
A retro wine bar and canteen in a basement cellar on Kazinczy utca, a few steps from Király utca. It's one of the oldest wine bars in the city: according to the local press it opened in December 1899. In 1916 it was renamed the Apolló wine bar and beer hall for a while, and it has been István Pince again since 1931. It has survived wars, a revolution and the change of regime, and was still going in 2024.
Pizzaklub 5 min
Thin-crust Roman pizza on Mária utca, near Széchenyi tér. You can order a half-and-half pizza, with two topping combinations on one pizza. There's a vegan pizza and several vegetarian ones, and the calorie and nutritional content is listed for every pizza.
