Enjoy a wide range of gastronomic offers in and around Pécs! Due to the region’s sub-Mediterranean climate, the fig ripens here three times a year and wines have a unique, aromatic bouquet. Our home-hill, the Mecsek, is rich in game, mushrooms and fruits; the region’s chestnut is famous and popular; and every year, almond trees blossom here as first in the entire country. Pécs and the surrounding region are truly multi-cultural since the significant number of Schwabian, Székely and Croatian ethnic groups and their living cultures have had effected the variety of local cuisine. Pécs’s gastronomic menu offers everything from traditional roadside inns to luxurious restaurants redefining Hungarian gastronomy with the help of latest kitchen technology and the flavour tendencies of the world.
